Mills Techie Day!

 

We recently held our first Techie Day and what a fantastic day it was! With lots of new, innovative products demonstrated at the event, we want to thank everyone who came along, we really hope it was a beneficial day for you all. Our Techie day was focused on gaining a hands on experiance with Mills Fibre Hand Tools, new overhead installations, new underground products, Bosch Tools, new Fremco Fibre Blowing Machines and EXFO test equipment.

 

We would like to thank ATS Group for hosting the event and our partner suppliers Bosch, EXFO and Radiodetection who joined us for the day. It was an exciting day filled with fun and learning. We cannot wait until the next one!

 

 

Enterprise Week - Pinkwell Primary School

 

Last week, we supported Enterprise Week at Pinkwell Primary School in Hayes. The goal was to help students understand business and encourage young entrepreneurs. We worked with Year 6 students to show them how Mills have changed since it started in 1918. The 10 and 11-year-olds formed 18 teams of five and each team got a £40 loan. They aimed to make the most profit after paying back this loan.

 

With support from the Mills team on marketing, the students had five days to prepare their products and services. They sold their items on Friday to parents, teachers, and classmates. After repaying their loans, the winning team, which sold Halloween and Diwali decorated cupcakes, made a brilliant profit of £100.

 

The entire year group made over £700 after paying back their loans. This money will go towards their end-of-year summer school trip. An amazing effort from the pupils in Year 6. Well Done Pinkwell Primary School, you are hired!

What has Mills done to help us?

"Since 2022, Mills has supported the set up and launch of our state of the art Telecoms, Civils and Construction Academy, based in Newton Le Willows and serving the North West.

Mills generous donations of tools and equipment means our learners have everything they need to obtain the relevant skills and accreditations required to start work in Telecoms and Civils."

 

Impact/Outcomes

"The training centre opened in Dec 2022 and along side IC training locations throughout Liverpool City Region, more than 2,500 learners have achieved qualifications (with a 98% success rate). In 2024 alone IC has helped over 700 people into sustainable employment."

 

We are proud to support clients like Inside Connections and other training schools across the country and see the positive impact we can make together.

 

Distributors

 

Tele-Grup

Jerry was in Bucharest earlier this month to support our Romanian distributor at the RONOG - Romanian Network Operators Group, which was held at the Marriott hotel. This was an excellent occasion to launch many new Mills innovative product lines aimed at saving fibre engineers time and improving operational efficiencies. After the conference and distributor product training, the Tele Grup team led Jerry through the Palace of the People, the world's second largest building after the Pentagon, followed by a traditional Romanian lunch.

 

Training Centre

 

We are glad to be a valued partner of APT Global Solutions Limited, delivering all their tools and communication infrastructure equipment. Jerry and Katie recently visited their magnificent MK1 Training Centre, which includes a pole yard and U/G bays, to learn about exciting new revolutionary technologies like the pole tensioning device for anchoring O/H drop cable, which enables a one-man installation. The team praised the multi-sock cable grips, micro-duct pulling carrots, and 5A cable cutter for handling larger wires on cabling tasks. 

 

The training centre offers Smart Awards and Streetworks courses for Underground, Overhead, and Civils. Thank you to Alan Johnson on, Gary Holmes, and their crews for the trip and support.

Greener Packaging

 

To help the environment, we've decided to switch from traditional bubble wrap to a paper alternative for packaging. This eco-friendly option not only protects our products but also shows our commitment to a greener future. By making this change, we hope to minimise our impact on the environment!
