January
2007 | Leasing Facility
We are pleased to announce that ANTONE
is now in a position to offer flexible financing
to all it's customers. Mark Ransom, Sales
Director, says,
"Many
of our clients will benefit from being able
to pay for projects over a number of years
rather than immediately. There is the added
benefit that leasing payments are tax deductible
against corporation tax. This provides a
net gain to the majority of profitable organisations
with a significant cash-flow benefit. Shop
fixtures and fittings can now be regarded
in the same way as a car or other capital
purchase, in terms of financing. Regardless
of the size or nature of a project, we can
put together a bespoke finance package that
falls in line with the strategic plans of
a brand or retailer."

Antone has recently taken delivery of a new fleet of commercial vehicles. With distinctive blue and silver livery, the fleet of Mercedes vehicles provide improved service and efficiency for customers. With the huge distances travelled and ever increasing fuel costs, Antone has invested in an economical fleet of vans and lorries. The comfort and safety of delivery and site personnel is a critical factor when selecting commercial vehicles and we hope that drivers will be proud to travel in the new fleet.
Antone is also currently finishing off a brand new works rest-room area, and general office refurbishments.

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" |

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

which has just one service station, half-way up the road.
Keth and friend Dave drove 2700km in 2 weeks and took

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 . . . . . . . .) |
