March Reflections
As we conclude another quarter, we take a moment to reflect on an exciting March.
On March 3rd, we celebrated the anniversary of our partnership with McDonald’s. For 50 years, we have consistently provided a reliable supply chain of exceptional quality. As McDonald’s has expanded, we have grown alongside them, and we are truly grateful for this partnership.
We have strong ties with the franchisee network, so to commemorate this milestone, we visited a local McDonald’s in Glenrothes owned by franchisee Jimmy Patrick, who, with the support of his son William, operates seven locations across Scotland. William Patrick briefly worked with Smith Anderson in our engineering department before supporting and joining his father in the family business.
We also attended our first trade show as exhibitors showcasing our existing product range, which was complimented by new innovations. We met with existing customers and began relationships with potential new customers— it was a great success.
March delivered some excellent wins across our strategic objectives, especially from our new E-Commerce product range. Supporting our customers with our key values of innovation, quality and service.
To round off the month, we participated in the Ronald McDonald House Charities’ Annual London Gala, which supports their incredible work in providing accommodation for families so they can be near their children when they are in hospital.
Overall, it has been a fantastic start to the year, marked by numerous achievements within our organisation and with our customers. Supporting the charity event in London was a fitting way to wrap up the quarter. Smith Anderson is proud to sponsor the Leven Room at the Ronald McDonald House located at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary Children’s Hospital.
