Hanson's Spring into action to beat the heatwave

Free ice-cream!

Noticing the management of Hanson Springs were drooping under the recent heatwave, the company sprang into action to combat the summer heat.

The Mellor Street team normally work in a hot environment, heat treating large coil springs, but the additional high temperatures was pushing them to the limit.

Action was needed and for fortunately, a passing ice-cream van offered a solution. Just like a childhood dream, the sweltering workforce were treated to free ice-creams.

Comments like, "I got a 99 just in time" and, "this free ice cream idea takes some licking" were heard from grateful employees.

The result was a refreshed workforce with lots of smiling faces – some still with ice-cream on them.

Councillor Billy Sheerin commented: “Hats off to the management of Hanson's Springs – a real family-run company in every sense of the word.”
