WHAT’S NEW? Metro Rod Celebrates
Franchisees, employees and suppliers celebrated at 5* The Celtic Manor, for the much-anticipated Metro Rod conference and awards ceremony, sponsored by iTouch. This was the first of its kind under the ownership of Franchise Brands plc, and one that many have commented will ‘go down in history as the best ever’!
Peter Molloy, Metro Rod Managing Director, kicked off the presentations – unveiling some exciting new plans for the future and key changes in the way the business will be run going forward – with the over-riding theme being ‘Focus on what makes a difference’.
Further presentations included a marketing update from Marketing Director, Robin Auld and Head of Marketing, Ella Pugh, who revealed some very impressive strategies for 2018, as well as sharing the updated branding they’ve been working on, not to mention the re-design of the vans, two of which were there for all to see and vote upon.
Chief Information Officer, Colin Rees also took to the stage to share the plans for the substantial investment
being made into restructuring the IT systems over the next few years, which will ensure Metro Rod can keep ahead of the game when it comes to providing a top-class service to its customers.
Key industry suppliers took part in a fantastic vendor show, where they had chance to exhibit their wares throughout the day, and the franchisees had the opportunity to find out about the latest developments in the drainage industry.

Less Is Less
Less waste, less packaging and less time spent refilling dispensers are among the major benefits of the Tork Coreless Mid-size Toilet Paper system. And the result is more paper, more productivity and a more sustainable product.

“Not only are there no cores to dispose of with the Tork Coreless Mid-size Toilet Paper system, there are no plugs or wrappings to discard either – and this makes it a highly sustainable product. And since the rolls last longer between refills than conventional products, labour costs are reduced as well.”
The paper in the Tork Coreless Mid-size system is tightly wound to make the rolls more compact. Two rolls typically last up to five times as long as conventional products. This means that less time is spent refilling and less space is required to accommodate them.
“With Tork Coreless Mid-size, less is less – which is a major benefit,” said Ian.
“Roy has always operated with the utmost professionalism and has achieved extremely strong results in all areas of his business. He and his team of over 10 employees are very worthy winners of this prestigious award – always putting the customer first in everything they do, so I’m thrilled to be able to recognise his achievements in this way!” commented Peter.
A collection was also made in aid of Wateraid, raising a fantastic £1,500, which will go towards helping to provide clean water, toilets and good hygiene to the millions of people around the world in need of these basic but essential facilities.

Studies have shown that facilities can reduce the amount of waste they produce from toilet paper supplies by 88% when switching to the Tork Coreless Mid-size Toilet Paper system.
“By choosing Tork Coreless, companies are helping to meet their sustainability targets while also freeing up time for cleaners to carry out more value-added tasks,” said Ian.
The Tork Coreless Mid-size Toilet Paper System is now available in sleek, award-winning Tork Elevation dispensers, which come in both black and white. This means they can form part of a cohesive system of matching washroom units.
The Tork Coreless dispenser is compatible with Tork EasyCube, a revolutionary facility management software system that enables cleaners to keep track of refill needs in real time.
