Toast to 230-
year history
MEETING WITH AN
INTERNATIONAL EXPERT
» » PURPLEX, THE
marketing agency for the glass &
glazing industry, recently teamed
up with a global expert in Google
analytics to help the agency
strengthen its online marketing
results for clients.
Based in Brussels, Remco
Van Der Beek advises and
trains some of the world’s
leading organisations on Google
analytics.
Andrew Scott, Managing
Director of Purplex, arranged for
Remco to travel from Brussels
to London to spend a day with
the Purplex digital team to gain
deeper insights on the latest
Google updates and analytics.
Andrew commented: “We are
obsessed with delivering better
online results thro ugh SEO and
PPC than anyone else in the
marketing industry, so convincing
a renowned global expert to travel
to the UK to work exclusively with
us was a great achievement.”
Andrew arranged for 12 of the
Purplex digital marketing team to
travel from its Bristol HQ to work
directly with Remco.
“It is vital that businesses
continue to invest in training
and development to stay ahead
of the curve. A couple of days
out of the office for 12 staff is a
big commitment, but it is already
paying dividends with a much
deeper understanding of Google
methodologies, which can only
benefit our customers.”

» » CELEBRATIONS HAVE
been taking place at Kenrick
as the West Bromwich-based
hardware supplier marks
an extraordinary 230-year
anniversary.
Staff toasted to the 230-year
anniversary of company founder
Archibald Kenrick establishing
Kenrick in his hometown of
West Bromwich. Archibald
entered his very first business
partnership and acquired his
first shop in 1787. This year, the
company also honours 190 years
since Archibald’s son, Archibald
Junior, joined the rapidly
growing business. The company
became ‘Archibald Kenrick &
Son’ - a name it is still known
by today.
Steve Jones, managing
director at Kenrick, said: “This
is a really special year for our
business as we celebrate a
staggering 230 years since our
founder went in to partnership
with the buckle-maker Thomas
Bolton. Archibald was a brave
27-year old entrepreneur and
he set the business up for an
extremely long heritage in the
UK. The Kenrick family was
well-known in the area and the
company employed hundreds
of local people. We still have
a strong presence within the
community and there are several
landmarks named after our
business, including the local
park, Kenrick Park and the
main road, Kenrick Way.
