Tele-Products25th Anniversary Open Day

October 2013

We opened our premises to suppliers, partners, customers & friends for the

afternoon

The following is an unedited photographic record of some of the

events…

Names haven’t been changed to protect the innocent!

We ran a number of competitions including one to identify the baby

photos of some Tele-Products staff…

Anode Electronics, one of our key suppliers, brought along examples of

some of their capabilities

The Buildabot 3d Printer from York3dprinters.com

Seggy Segaran, Tele-Products founder and our Technical Director, describes the Buildabot to Norman Whyte from the Eco Business Centre

The Construction Challenge Winner

Karen Swallow, our Warehouse Manager, presents the prize to Ed Hunn from Evercode, leader of the winning team whose structure was 2.4m high! Not sure Ed can contain his excitement…

Seggy enthrals the audience with a potted history of Tele-Products…

…And then tries to sell copies of his business book!

We presented a cheque to the Prince’s Trust – a great organisation who we are

proud to support

Ed Reid, from The Alternative Board, talked about the elements of a

great business

He was so animated that his hand became a blur!

Charles Storr, from City of York Council, talked about the importance of manufacturing SMEs to York’s economy

(and wasn’t worried by the overhead water balloons)

The highlight of the catering was a very special cake – baked and

decorated by Wendy Dixon, our Office Administrator

It was a shame to cut it but it had to be done!

Finally: A big thank you to everyone who attended. We had a great time

and hope you did too.

We will see you all again in 2038 for the 50th!
