PROUD SPONSOR OF INDUSTRY NEWS INDUSTRYNEWS FROM SPACER BARS TO FOOTBALL SHIRTS Warm-edge expert Edgetech is sponsoring a football club close to the hearts of one of its longest-standing customers, Cleartherm…. » » DAVID LAING ISN’T JUST MD OF Cleartherm, one of the UK’s most respected IGU manufacturers – he’s also Chairman of Evo-Stik Southern Central Premier League side Barwell FC. Founded in 1992 as a merger between Hinckley and Barwell Athletic, ‘The Canaries’ finished ninth in 2017-2018, and have already got the 2018- 2019 season off to a promising start with two wins and a 1-1 draw. But, regardless of how they perform this year, the team will at least look the part, with a new kit emblazoned with the Edgetech logo. Edgetech Managing Director Chris Alderson explains the rationale behind supporting David’s footballing endeavours; “Cleartherm is a hugely valued and long-standing Edgetech customer – they were one of the companies we marked a ten-year anniversary with last year while celebrating a decade of us manufacturing in the UK – and this is just a small way of saying thank you to David for all his support.” www.edgetechig.co.uk Special award for 88 yrs of industry » » AT THE RECENT GGF MEMBERS’ Day, Holdens-SupaSeal received a special award from GGF President, John Agnew, to mark its outstanding contribution to the industry spanning 88 years.
