It was wonderful to attend the AGM at Wolverson X-Ray Ltd last week. As the HR support for Wolverson, it was the perfect opportunity for everyone to come together and to meet and mingle with all their employees in a relaxed setting.
Directors Graham, Frank and Andy were keen that the AGM be an opportunity to not only talk about the company’s highs and lows in recent times, but to thank their incredibly talented and committed staff for all their hard work, innovation and resilience over the last 12 months.
We arrived at Wolverson at approx. 10am where we were fabulously greeted by Archie the Sprocker Spaniel, the dog of one of the Directors and a regular (and very popular) visitor to the building. We were given drinks and floral garlands to get us in the holiday mood, which was quite apt for the 28 degree day ahead of us!
The AGM itself began in the marquee just outside the building, with free flowing beer, wine and nibbles. The Marque was beautifully decorated.
With so many of Wolverson X-Ray team being off site engineers based around the country, it is a rare opportunity that everyone gets to be together and chat in a face-to-face relaxed atmosphere.
The Directors presentation highlighted the hurdles both Wolverson alongside many other businesses had faced in recent years, including GDPR, Brexit, Covid, economic instability, government instability, the Russia / Ukraine conflict and GBP loss of value (SKR, US DOLLAR, EURO). Graham acknowledged the level of pressure for many organisations at the moment was high and gave heartfelt appreciation for the efforts of all staff over the last few years.
The company data, profit, loss and significant achievements of the company was then presented, followed by a presentation from Sales, and then a presentation from us at S.E. Hunter Associates about the HR services that we provide, and how we envision HR practice over the next 12 months for Wolverson X-Ray.
The day was then finished by food, more drinks, a few pub-style quizzes and lots of laughter. It was overall a lovely day that left the team feeling motivated and enthusiastic for the year ahead.
Thank you so much to everyone at Wolverson for making us so welcome and to be part of this fantastic day; we are looking forward to being part of your team!
