October 3, 2018 | CCLEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
On Friday, September 8, across the UK, companies hosted tea parties and bake sales as part of Macmillan Cancer Support’s ‘World’s Biggest Coffee Morning.’ Excess Inventory management company, CCL, were no exception taking it one step further by extending it to a two-day event in efforts to raise as much money as possible for the charity.
On the Friday, members from sales, warehouse, marketing and export compliance donated their variety of bakes. These proved hugely popular not only with the CCL team but with businesses from all over Heathpark Industrial Estate.
A weekend to recover and Monday saw the second event, a curry lunch cooked by Sales manager Kasper. The team enjoyed an alfresco dining experience attracting yet more companies from around the estate to encourage those final few donations. A last count-up confirmed the total amount raised to be £261.44, all proceeds going to Macmillan Cancer Support and the great work they do.

The event moved from the cozy offices of the Peoria Sports Complex (which paid homage to baseball’s spring training world) to the larger Avondale Conference Center, highlighting the importance of this area for electronics manufacturing investment.

It’s all true, but the reality is: The market doesn’t care.
It’s Only Common Sense: Speed Is a Strategy that Wins Customers
03/23/2026 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseAfter decades in the business, I’ve learned that the companies that win are not always the biggest or the cheapest.
