Issue 5 - May 2010
 


The coldest winter in 30 years, a volcanic eruption that paralyses air travel, and now a hung Parliament - whatever next? At least we have the world cup to look forward to!

Despite these little difficulties, we have had a very busy start to the year, with our new directors taking charge, publication of our 20th Anniversary Handbook and the introduction of new products. You will find details in this issue, together with a chance to win an iPod Touch.

Could you also spare a thought for a team from IPS undertaking the Coast to Coast bike ride later this month? They are raising funds for the Great North Childrens Hospital Appeal, and would really appreciate your support. Details on how to donate are included in this issue.


At the end of 2009, our Managing Director Peter Ferries retired after twenty years at the helm. He was both our employer and our friend, and he will be missed by us all. We wish him well for the future.

20th Anniversary Edition
Our latest handbook is now available in either hard copy, CD or for download from our website.


Our latest handbook is now available

IPS began trading in 1990, and to celebrate this, we have published this 20th Anniversary Edition, which we hope you will like.

Included in this edition are our well established ranges together with new products including Serto tube fittings, and Plasson compression fittings for PE 100 pipes.

If you would like a copy of the Handbook, please contact our customer service team, who will be delighted to help you.


Prices update
We reported late in 2009 that plastic prices have remained very volatile despite the global recession. This lead to some price increases for PVC-U pressure pipes earlier this year. Since then we have also had to raise other prices by an average of 6%.

All the new prices are in our latest handbook which is available now. If you haven't received your personal copy, please let us know by calling or by clicking here and we will despatch one immediately.


Corrosion-Resistant Concrete Linings
IPS has now successfully completed several projects using the AGRU Suregrip concrete protective linings.

Over the bank holiday weekend at the end of May, a team of 8 riders from IPS will once again, face the challenge of cycling from Whitehaven on the west coast, to Sunderland on the east coast. Starting on Friday morning, they should finish the 147 mile route by Sunday afternoon.

This year, they are raising funds for the Great North Children's Hospital Appeal, and would welcome your support.

The hospital will bring together nearly all the Norths children's experts under one roof providing everything a sick child might need in one central hub. It has been designed especially to feel like anything but a hospital and to make sure they can really help reduce the stresses and anxieties children can experience when they are in hospital.

If you would like to donate to the appeal, and help our team achieve it's target of £2000, please click on the link below.
