Consolidation and containerisation of VEPK vocational resources
Thursday, October 20th, 2011
VEPK works to improve education in primary and pre-primary schools in the Kilimanjaro region of Tanzania by renovating and equipping schools, providing books and materials, providing in-service training and running an educational computer centre with internet access, a vocational training centre and a village crafts shop.
EC Group is assisting VEPK in providing a central logistics facility for the consolidation and containerisation of a range of plant and equipment, all of which is destined for the VEPK vocational school.
John Douglas, VEPK UK Coordinator commented: “We’re very grateful to EC Group for the help provided on this project. Consolidating all the donations including IT equipment, workshop plant and various other vocational materials received from points all over the UK into one shipment has been made possible through their generosity.”

About the speaker Steve Cram
British middle distance running could not believe its luck when, in a majestic-striding youngster from the northeast, it found a “third man” to eclipse Seb Coe and Steve Ovett. When Steve Cram was in full cry – during his demolition of Ovett’s and Coe’s world records in 1985 – one commentator likened it to “watching a Greek god on the track”.
For five seasons between 1982 and 1986, he enjoyed a dazzling spell of competitive success which neither Coe or Ovett ever matched, winning a world, two European and three Commonwealth gold medals. Short of full fitness, he had to settle for silver behind Coe in the Los Angeles Olympics 1,500m final, but he bounced back with three world records in 19 days the following year – including history’s first sub-three-and-half minute metric mile. Steve is now the main athletics presenter for the BBC.

Sausage and Mash
Monday, March 21st, 2011
We store all manner of products for our clients but this one is quite exceptional – and we couldn’t resist the headline…
When experiential agency Mash was asked to store this monster they thought of EC Group. Did they know how much we all love a cold sausage or was it just their confidence that we’d be able to devote the TLC to keep it safe and secure?
Either way we’re delighted to add a whopping great sausage to the list of unusual assets that we’ve looked after; a list which includes cardboard parrots, hairy hands, model kangaroos, a Dino Ferrari and many more!
Ketchup anyone?
