Wear it Pink day is a fun time for clock manufacturer Good Directions Ltd.


Last year Good Directions Ltd, world renowned exterior clock manufacturers, enjoyed a fun day at work by wearing something pink for the day to raise money for the breast cancer campaign, but this year the fund raising has stepped up a gear.

Not only has the company doubled in size since pink day last year and now has twenty staff all wearing it pink, one member of staff decided this very worthy cause was really worth pushing the boat out for.

Dave Quainton, one of our Production & Workshop Technician's decided to dye his hair and eyebrows pink for the day and before he knew it he was dared to wear it pink all over and come into work dressed as a woman for the day.

Donations have been given of a dress, hat, handbag, shoes, tights, glasses and even a bra and pink briefs with supporters now sponsoring him over £400 already.

Working in our machine shop helping to manufacture large exterior clocks and architectural features, Dave will be wearing his pink outfit while milling, drilling, de-burring and using our lathes throughout the day, so will be swapping his pink high heels for pink safety boots in the workshop.

A new pavement clock made for Windsor the only one in the UK

Image
It was an exciting moment as many people watched the replacement clock we manufactured for the Royal Borough of Windsor being lowered into the pavement in Thames Street, the exact spot where the original clock had been placed over fifty years previously. Lowering the pavement clock into the ground at Windsor The original clock was installed on May 15, 1950, by former Windsor Mayor and owner of Dysons, Sir Cyril Dyson. Sadly the clock was removed many years ago and its wareabouts is now unknown but the council wanted to re-instate an important part of Windsor's heritage and so approached us to manufacture a replacement. Grandaughter of original clock maker with the Mayor at the unveiling of the new clock Dyson's grandaughter Caroline Fox, whose father Geoffrey Dyson took over the family business until it closed in the 1980s, proudly watched as Mayor Cllr Catherine Bursnall, unveiled the new clock. Mrs Fox, from Maidenhead, said: "It is very emotional, I feel m...

Two exterior clocks donated as a lasting leaving gift to their school by pupils.

Image
Pupils at a school in Sussex decided that when they left they would like to give a leaving present that was a thank you to the whole school and would also be of use for many years to come. So the year of 2010 all raised money to be able to donate two large exterior clocks and came to us for advice. The pupils chose two 790mm Classic style clocks in dark blue from our range of standard exterior clocks. Gold leafed Arabic numerals were chosen to make the clocks clear and simple to read, then to personalise the clocks it was decided that the school logo would be sign written above the hands and the year 2010 sign written below. Having an in-house sign facility meant we could not only sign write the dials using special 22 carat gold leaf vinyl but even provide a brass plaque with all 52 of the children’s names on it to be fitted beneath one of the clocks, making us a one stop shop for the whole project. The school was so pleased with the clocks they have come b...
