Relationships take time and effort. That's why it's good to see two stories in this issue, one more personal, one corporate. The first is Robert 'Gary' Jones celebrating 40 years with Southern Wire. It's a rare thing these days to find an employee who will remain loyal to the company he or she has worked for for so long, but both parties can be justifiably proud in this case that one suits the other perfectly. The management of the company are to be endorsed for providing Gary with the opportunity to have trained all the employees, passing on his considerable knowledge to other members of staff and schooling them in the ways of Southern Wire, as well as, no doubt, adding just a touch of his own enthusiasm into the proceedings. See page 12 The second story is the 90 th anniversary celebration for Gavitt Wire and Cable, a family firm through and through, who are quite rightly giving themselves a pat on the back at the moment for hitting this memorable milestone. It's impressive that the company has adapted down the years and despite the competition from abroad, continues to thrive. This story is on page 16 David Bell Editor
