A time for festival and celebration
03 August, 2012
Looking back it has been a week of festival and celebration with yet more to come. Wednesday August 1st, for example, marked the passing of Lughnasadh, a harvest festival celebrated in the Northern Hemisphere and in parts of Ireland with bonfires and dancing. 
Here at Ceramicx on the previous Friday we had our own version of bonfire and festival heatworks – applied mainly to our sumptuous hog roast, and enjoyed by all our hard-working work force. 
There may come a day – and not too far away either - when a Ceramicx infrared heating source will be the definitive way to spit-roast all kinds of meats. Until then, the charcoal based version tasted just fine! There was no raining on our parade that day, in celebration of the Ceramicx Family Day BBQ and also to mark our 20th year in business. 
Times like these remind us that good management includes knowing when to just cut out and let the party take over: Most successful cultures include this safety valve - a carnival week or a twelfth night - and Ceramicx is pleased to be following that practice. Last Friday night in London also saw a televised masterclass in how not to take yourself too seriously. If you recall Olympics, James Bond, Royalty and Helicopter Parachutes you’ll know just what I mean. For the next short while – up until August 21st – there will be a skeletal presence at the Ceramicx factory during the shut down period. Our weekly blog will continue to report with all our current news. In the meantime I wish you a happy holiday season!
