Rivco opens Rivet House
20 July 2017
Following the successful launch of ARK branded products in May, Rivco officially opened its refurbished office facilities at its Kidderminster, UK, site, with special guest Jonathon Craven, general manager at Arconic Fastening Systems and Rings, Telford.
Steve Auld, managing director at Rivco Ltd, explains: “The shareholder investment programme committed to an improved working environment for staff members. A spacious, modern and comfortable office refurbishment has been welcomed by everyone; providing a new and improved workspace conducive to the growth of our businesses.”
“It has been a busy period for us, so ensuring staff are comfortable in the work place during our growth period has been a priority. In addition to the office improvements, investment has provided new ARK branded workwear. A new fleet of vehicles will be operational by September, supporting the three businesses: Rivco, Arpel Ltd and Kamtech Fasteners Ltd. This will enable maximum flexibility for local customer deliveries, customer site visits and dealings between our two office sites. In addition, we have committed to an upgrade of our IT systems – not forgetting the major investment into the launch of ARK branded products.”
Rivco has a long-established relationship with Arconic Fastening Systems and Rings; selling the HUCK® brand of tools and fasteners for over 20 years. Steve explains: “We are delighted that Jonathon Craven could be here to open our refurbished offices, named ‘Rivet House’. The HUCK range continues to be an integral part of Rivco’s export activity and we have seen our relationship with Arconic go from strength to strength over the years.”
Rivco and Arpel staff enjoyed an official opening day on Friday 16th June with guests from Arconic, including David Garner, sales manager UK and Ireland, and Sarah Van Der Woning, customer service manager, together with Lisa Masterson, HSBC GTRF commercial manager. Mac Rahman, senior advertising executive, represented Fastener + Fixing Magazine for this milestone occasion.
