Family-run business and Burry Port’s largest employer, Amcanu, marked its 40th Birthday yesterday with a modest celebration for those who have played an integral role in the company’s story so far.
With strong family values, Amcanu took the opportunity to invite past employees, many of whom travelled the length and breadth of the country to join the celebrations.
The factory floor was cleared, the buffet was laid and Amcanu’s finest products were proudly on display. First generation MD, Spencer Davies OBE, welcomed everyone and gave thanks for the remarkable support and loyalty that he’d received over the years. Spencer took the opportunity to handover son Owain Davies – now second generation MD, who gave a short heartfelt speech.
“Many of you will remember that we’ve had our challenges over the years, but we’ve worked through them… together! And, all the struggles and setbacks have only made Amcanu stronger!”
“A lot has changed over 40 years, but we’re very proud to say that we still have our very first customer. And, we still have our very first employee too. I think that says a lot about the sort of company we are.”
“Our main customer-base has changed and we’ve had to evolve. We’ve had to diversify and develop new products. And now, we’re recognised by the industry for producing the very best sound attenuation enclosures in the UK (probably the world, but who knows for sure!)”
After the opportunity to catch up with old friends and reminisce with a photo album packed full of memories – past employees were given a guided tour of the factory, where the two generations of MDs proudly showed the old workforce how far the company had come along.
40 years is a significant milestone and Amcanu are pleased to have been able to share their gratitude with old friends, while looking forward to the next phase of development with the team that makes them what they are today.
