Headley Brothers Open Day celebrates the company’s 130th Anniversary

To celebrate its incredible 130th anniversary, and in support of Pilgrim’s Hospice, Ashford-based printing company Headley Brothers Ltd. was delighted to host a company Open Day on Saturday 11th June 2011, at its Invicta Press premises at Lower Queens Road, Ashford, Kent.

Celebrating 130 years of thriving trade and incredible staff loyalty, Headley Brothers welcomed 500 existing and retired staff, family and friends. Guests enjoyed a factory tour, before sitting down to an afternoon tea, with entertainment provided by a jazz trio. Afternoon tea was followed by entertainment in the form of Punch and Judy and magic shows, and a wide variety of side-shows. The event raised over £1200 for Pilgrim’s Hospice, Ashford.

Roger Pitt, managing director, said, “We are a long-standing company that has seen much change. We are hugely proud of our status as a 130-year-old company, and are thrilled that so many of our dedicated staff, family and friends were able to join us at this celebration.”
