"It is with great regret that the end is nigh for the cluster project. Over the years the help and assistance given to HMG has assisted us to remain at the forefront of our industry. A new set of eyes looking inwards as well as outwards has shed a new light on our industry and has allowed us to see opportunities away from our traditional markets."

"Dear Martin;
I wanted to thank you for all your help over the last eighteen months and all your excellent ideas and thoughts on how we take our Company forwards and improve our efficiency and processes.

As you are aware we have implemented many of your suggestions and will be looking to work our way through the rest of the projects as time permits.

I feel that the work you have done under the Regional Business Advisor Project has been extremely beneficial to the Company and staff of Hurst Green Plastics and that can be seen in the improving performance of Company figures over the period of your involvement.

As you know the work is never done but you leave a legacy of sustainable improvement and a quota of targets for us to work towards in the future.

On a personal note I will miss your challenging programmes and gentle bullying towards achieving set targets."
All Best Wishes
Stephen Clarke
Managing Director.
