October Blog Post: Celebrations, Manufacturing Excellence, and Well-being at Customate
Capricorn here, and welcome to the October edition of our blog. This month is full of celebrations and achievements at Customate, and I’m excited to share our updates with you.
A Personal Celebration
After months (if not years!) of planning, my wedding is finally happening. It’s been a wonderful journey juggling work and wedding preparations, and I’m so grateful for the kind support from my incredible colleagues. Here’s to new beginnings with my wonderful husband!
Manufacturing Day – Celebrating Innovation (October 6th)
October also marks Manufacturing Day—a time to recognise the creativity and innovation driving our industry forward. Here at Customate, we’re proud of our contributions to advance manufacturing, whether through bespoke solutions or large-scale projects.
This month, we’re wrapping up our significant turnkey project with Meyn. It has been amazing to see our engineers in action, showcasing dedication, technical capability, and flawless teamwork.
Welcoming New and Returning Apprentices
We’re also excited to celebrate the growth of our talented apprentices! One of our apprentices is starting his 1st year with us, while another is beginning his 2nd year. It’s inspiring to watch the next generation of engineers develop and learn, and we’re proud to provide an environment where they can thrive. Their enthusiasm and fresh perspectives are vital to the future of Customate and our industry.
World Mental Health Day – Supporting Our Team (October 10th)
World Mental Health Day on October 10th is a reminder that mental health is as vital as physical health. At Customate, we are committed to fostering a supportive work environment where everyone feels comfortable expressing themselves. To encourage open communication, we hold an all-engineers meeting once a month. These meetings give everyone a chance to share their thoughts, voice concerns, and actively contribute to improving our work environment.
We also encourage our employees to make use of our flexible charity days and wellness initiatives, giving them time to recharge and focus on causes they care about. A healthy and happy team is the foundation of our success, and we want everyone to thrive both at work and in their personal lives. Remember, it’s okay to ask for help, take time for yourself, and prioritise mental health.
World Food Day – Engineering Solutions for Better Food Production (October 16th)
On World Food Day (October 16th), we celebrate sustainable food production. Customate is proud to contribute to efficient and safe food processing solutions through our work with Murzan, Meyn, Poss, and Jamesway. Our engineering innovations make food production more efficient and less wasteful, promoting healthier, more sustainable practices.
Wrapping Up: A Busy Month with Big Milestones
As October progresses, it’s incredible to reflect on everything happening at Customate—from personal milestones to industry celebrations, the growth of our apprentices, and the completion of major projects. We’re excited about the future, and we look forward to continuing to innovate, support our team, and contribute positively to the industries we serve.
