Setting Sail

Shufflebottom has embarked on an exciting one-off project – the first of its kind in the UK – to manufacture a replica schooner which will take pride of place in the transformation and redevelopment of the harbour at Saundersfoot, Pembrokeshire, the life blood of the highly-anticipated Wales International Coastal Centre (WICC).

New Additions to the Moody Cow Family

Since 2017 Bargoed Farm has been giving a warm Welsh welcome and showcasing the best of Wales all in one place. The original farm has diversified to accommodate a farm shop, butchery, bistro, fishing, camping, caravans and glamping in the most glorious landscape in the heart of the Ceredigion countryside between Aberaeron and Newquay.

Merthyr Tydfil Bus Station – the sequel

Like many great stories and Hollywood movies, our initial blog posted on 3^rd March 2020, about Shufflebottom’s involvement with the development of the new Merthyr Tydfil Bus Station, warrants a sequel. In fact, we signed off that first post with the words: “More news and images as the project progresses at speed!”

One step at a time..

None of us will ever forget 2020/21 and the impact of the Coronavirus Pandemic on our lives. All of us have been impacted in some way. But some have been hit doubly hard, having to deal with a health crisis that is nothing to do with COVID-19 but nevertheless, has to be managed within a time of COVID with all the added challenges that presents.

In October 2020, Alison, one of our long-serving and valued employees, who has worked in our sales team, and admin team before that for eighteen years, suffered a catastrophic stroke. This was devastating for Alison, her family and friends, and her wider family here at Shufflebottom.  Her work colleagues and customers were naturally shocked and saddened and have been closely monitoring her progress and receiving regular updates from her husband Matthew and her daughters, Amber and Sophie.

We are delighted we have been shortlisted for three RIDBA building awards.

Riding for the disabled

Riding for the Disabled Association is built on the knowledge that the lives of the disabled can be enriched through horses. It has 500 centres across the UK with a committed team of 18,000 volunteers and coaches (and of course, fun and good natured horses) who together offer a wide range of therapy, fitness and skills’ development to over 250,000 disabled children and adults.

Finest Welsh Ingredients

Today, Cross Hands’ based Frank’s is a global brand, supplying UK supermarket chains – Sainsbury, Tesco, Morrisons, Asda – the NHS, and emerging markets in the Middle East, with their delicious and ever-expanding range of special ice-creams made with passion, flair and the best of Welsh ingredients.

Double First

This is a week for firsts at Shufflebottom. On two counts. And we’re delighted at both.

Firstly, Tony Phipps, one of the newer members of the Shufflebottom Sales Team will see his first-ever commissioned erected steel-framed building leave the factory to

take pride of place on site not far from us here in Carmarthenshire. This is always a milestone for those working in sales, to see effort, hard work and an

order in a book take concrete shape in the environment and be put to use for a specific purpose.

And it’s the purpose of the new building that is the second first, for we’ve never had a customer quite like this. Interesting to say the least. Animal Dramatics
