First Week in the New Offices


Our newest tenant Thornber Energy Ltd is about ready to open its doors to the general public. They have spent the last two weeks testing the tanks and delivering to close friends and family and now they are ready to deliver fuel to the local area.

The offices have been fit to the highest standards by a team of local labourers and using the desgin talents of Mrs June Thornber. The team are excited and raring to go - look out for Thornber Energy tankers around your local area and give them a wave!

Summer 2011

This week's blog has been written to end the Summer session that has been running and to welcome the Winter writing! The night's are getting darker and the air is chilly, this will be my first winter in the UK for a while so I'm preparing myself for the temperatures!

Lots of things happening as usual - the tankers are now ready to roll and have been testing themselves on the roads around Calderdale - has anyone seem them?

We have had some members of the team out meeting friends and locals to spread the word of our plans. I've been busy working with local printers, designers and uniform suppliers to put together the final stages of the business. Everyone is working really hard now to make sure we are reaching our launch date and ready to serve our future customers.




In The Craggs news we now have a holding page up on www.thecraggs.net which gives you an idea of some of the things we have planned for the coming months. Lots more information coming your way about The Business Park soon but for now I am signing off for the Bank Holiday Weekend so enjoy and keep following!

12: What a difference planning permission makes!

Good morning bloggers.....Hope all is well in rainy West Yorkshire or wherever else you may be reading this from. This week has been very exciting - lots of things happening very quickly and getting scarily close to the launch of our first business and the introduction of the second tenant to The Craggs Country Business Park!

With riots in the major cities and massive financial drops in shares and in the European economy this week, I couldnt feel safer tucked up in the rolling hills of Cragg Vale! We started the week with the addition of a new vehicle featured below. If any of you see this vehicle around give us a wave!



Chris Bingham and Michael Brock have been working hard on their ADR course this week and the competition is running high for the LGV theory test results! The Oil tanks are in and the trusty team working at The Craggs have been hiding indoors working on the office interior. Also this week, we had a very successful meeting with the new Thornber Energy staff - everyone is raring to go and looking forward to getting stuck in!

Work continues on the website development for both The Craggs and Thornber Energy, PR and all other exciting things. We had a purchasing trip on Tuesday which has added to the reality of this whole experience. I am now signing off to go on holiday for a week so I'm sure there will be lots to report next week (and catch up on!)

Have a great weekend and keep following! :)
