CAPTAINS of Ribble Valley industry are forging ahead into 1989 with cautious optimism, confident that the run-up to Europe’s all-important 1992 will see a contin uation of prosperity
for the Ribble Valley. No one is saying it is
going to be easy — com placency is a word you will not hear in this area. But battle plans are
being drawn up in local boardrooms throughout the area to ensure that the Ribble Valley is not left out in the cold once the EEC trade barriers are removed. The area’s good mix of
firms linked with multi-na tional corporations and the smaller, independent con cerns provides an excel lent base to weather any of the storms which peri odically hamper British industry. The Ribble Valley has

So, how is Ribble Valley
industry shaping up? Mr Jonathan Dale, gen
eral manager o f Castle Cement’s Clitheroe fac tory; sums up 1988 in one word — busy. “ Th ere has been a
growth in construction activity in the North of England and the amount of cement we delivered has been at its highest level ever,” said Mr Dale. The demand for tradi
tional granulated slag has outweighed supply, which can lead to some problems. To o f fs e t this, Castle Cement has commissioned some more equipment in an e f fo r t to maximise productivity. As for the company as a
whole, last year proved to be a watershed, with its ownership transferring from Rio Tinto Zinc to the
joint Scandanavian control o f Euroc (Sweden) and Aker (Norway). “The honeymoon period
is now over and we are getting plenty of support from the new owners,” Mr Dale added. “They are dif ferent in managerial style,
successfully combined both its rural and indus trial sectors, with the big boys — such as Castle
Cement and ICI — work ing well alongside smaller businesses.

being cement people. We are not now part of a com pany which has many diverse concerns.” Another large organisa
tion just down the road from Castle Cement, ICI,
experienced a year of intense competition in world markets for cata lysts, especially significant as exports account for 90% of the Clitheroe plant’s production. “However, we main
tained our market share with a high profile sales and marketing drive,” commented works man ager Mr Martin Hill. ICI developed a number
of new products last year and will continue to do so this. The factory is busy turning out a large order of catalysts to be used in ICI’s new Puraspec purifi cation process for British Gas at its Barrow-in-Fur- ness terminal. Despite a good start to
last year, Castle Castings encountered a difficult period from August 'to December, leading to a reduction in the workforce
of 12. Things are now looking
up. The normally quiet Christmas period proved fruitful for the company, as contracts, together worth £300,000, were signed with Heathrow and Manchester airports and the Ministry of Defence.

that they will be intro duced into the USA this year, which would defini
tely increase production,” added Mr Eventhall. “As a result, we are currently
looking for more staff.” With the continuing
growth in their share of the branded schoolwear market and further devel opment o f ch i ld r en ’ s easualwear garments, under the WildBunch name, 1988 spelled out a

'^Managing director Eric Whitehead said: “ This year has also got off to a good start. Trutex has a determination to produce an even better result in the coming year. Although it is not expected to be easy, the early signs are
good. “With specialised sales
forces, product teams, lively advertising and effi cient factory warehouse units in Clitheroe, I am
confidently expecting to fulfil our ‘no one measures up to Trutex’ slogan.”

bad news, as Stephen Dugdale explains: “We

various changes and reor ganisation have been
implemented which should result in additional sales. Mr Dugdale said that he

European Market will come into its own, with the breakdown of many trade barriers and restric tions, leading to the unifi cation of the EEC market. Spiroflow is making plans to take full advantage of this historic change. “We are preparing for
1992 and we see West Germany as our biggest potential market. Exports account for 40% of produc tion and we will be repre sented at the Hanover Trade Fair this year in an attempt to increase our profile and market share.” Unfortunately, some
Ribble Valley firms are finding it difficult to obtain Government grant aid. Clitheroe Light Engi n e e r in g is one such example. ' “We have had problems
getting grants for our expansion programme,” said company secretary Helen Wilkinson. “We also have had difficulties in finding skilled labour in the Ribble Valley, particu larly people who have served their time.” The company, which
like Spiroflow is based at Up Brooks and is now firmly established after 17 years in business, deals mainly in sub-contracting. It is currently working on an aerospace contract, taking on extra labour, and it hopes to install yet more machinery this year. The effect of the milk
