Cambs Compressors Newsletter Autumn 2021

www.cambscompressors.co.uk Making compressed air personal Face to face visits help you understand the changing needs of compressed air within the business Mark out on the road again, getting to see the clients As we see restrictions loosen, it’s great to get back out and meet customers to understand their challenges first hand. Video conferencing is a great tool to save time, access a wider pool of knowledge and skills to identify solutions, but face to face still has a place in developing a better understanding. Walking through the different business environments enables conversation to explore possible areas of inefficiency, identify potential improvements and even proactively avoid possible future issues. Our business is to understand how you use compressed air Our clients understand their business and what they need from their compressed air system. It’s our job as compressed air engineers, to read between the lines and predict issues with how this energy source is used, maintained or how the environment will impact upon it. It’s almost impossible to do remotely, and at Cambs Compressors we much prefer to avoid a breakdown or expensive repair through acting on our vast experience to spot potential issues before they become a problem. Want a catch-up? Why not book a site visit to explain the changes in your business since COVID and get Mark or one of our other solutions engineers to carry out a no obligation site survey. Summer BBQ Thank you! Challenging 18 months for everyone It’s hard to imagine now what a shock it was, when the pandemic first lockdown was announced. The uncertainty of what the future held, how businesses would survive and just how long this might last, caused great concern. Yet within a few days, Cambs Compressors was being called upon to support the essential businesses. Helping food producers maintain manufacturing, supporting pharmaceutical companies with their compressed air needs, as well as contributing to the open Ventilator System Initiative (OVSI). A chance to thank our people and our customers In those early months having our team at Cambs Compressors rally to support our customers, whether working from home or on the road. Our amazing field engineers, who with their official letters to prove they were deemed essential workers, carried on despite the horrific news of daily increasing COVID death rates. 18 months on it seems we have turned a corner, lockdowns have come and gone and our people have adapted to the new working processes. I look back on these past months with enormous pride on the team we have here at Cambs Compressors and the way we have positively contributed during the nations time of need. The ability to change is our people’s key strength “The thing that has impressed me most about our team here at Cambs Compressors, has been their ability to adapt and change. Whether asked to work remotely from home, work in a Covid safe format which at one point seemed to change weekly with the different government advice. As well as adapting to the new IT systems, new offices, new equipment – even working with team members on different continents.” Mark Fryer Managing Director Cambs Compressors.
