Arnie's Adventures

Range Cooker Display Project

November 2006 | Project

We are very pleased to have completed a large project for the electrical retailer, Comet, within the cooking area of the stores. The concept was designed, developed, proto-typed and manufactured in house and the delivery and installation logistics executed by our own personnel.

The success of any project is fully measured by the commercial performance, post installation. Early indications would suggest that the area is trading well which makes all the hard work worth while.

Particular thanks goes to our Account Director and team that worked on the contract. As the client says;

" . . . your dedication, attention to detail and sheer hard work has made this project roll-out one of the best ever"

 
Chanel

Chanel - South Africa

2006 | New project

We are pleased to announce the completion of another successful project in South Africa. The client's comments say it all;

'It looked fantastic!'

'I just wanted to say how grateful I am for all of your help with this project. It could not have happened without your tireless determination!

'What a fantastic job ALL of the site team did. They overcame numerous problems  to ensure that the site was completed to the original timelines. They worked really, really hard and were a credit to ANTONE. As usual the quality of the build shone through!'

Adventure in the Arctic

Sept 2006 | Event

Keth Pride, Antone Originator, has recently returned from yet another trip to a remote part of the world. Previous trips have included Australia, Alaska, Arizona, California, Mexico City, Thailand & Cambodia, New Zealand,Malaysia, Singapore, and Hong Kong.

This latest adventure culminated in Keth dipping his feet into the Arctic Ocean, journeying up the Klondike Highway and traveling the 746km unpaved Dempster Highway, which has just one service station, half-way up the road.

Keth and friend Dave drove 2700km in 2 weeks and took in Dawson City, home to one of the biggest gold rushes in history, and experienced amazing sun-sets in the company of Wolves and Grizzly Bears.

 
Arnie's Adventures

Arnie's Adventures

Sept 2006 | Event

Antone Originator, Stuart Arnold, always seems to be doing something. His latest adventure was in a Hot Air Balloon in the beautiful Derbyshire countryside. With a 5.00am start, he set off for Bakewell Showground and helped to inflate the balloon with his fellow passengers.

The balloon floated up through the mist, as the sun rose. Stuart was treated to breath-taking views of the surrounding countryside before making a gentle landing in a very wet field. The crew then all helped with deflating the balloon. Stuart summed up the experience as 'exciting and peaceful', and
recommends it to both the adventurous and curious alike. (More Arnie's adventures to follow . . . . . . . .)
