The end of the year is approaching, so there is no time like the present to take a look back at key events that have defined 2024 for CB Frost & Co. From navigating another busy events season, to welcoming new talent to our sales team, it has been another year of growth. We are also thrilled to have ended the year by launching our brand new website and online shop, helping us to provide even better service and accessibility to our valued customers.
Join us as we reflect on some of the key moments of this year, and look forward to what’s ahead for us in 2025.
Another exciting exhibition season
This spring and summer brought another exciting exhibition season, starting with the Make UK Defence Networking event that took place on the 21st May. For us, the highlight of this excellent day of networking was the chance to take part in the morning SME Panel. Our business development manager Daniel Brock presented the pros and cons of working within the defence industry, speaking in front of more than 100 guests, and introducing CB Frost & Co as a key cog in the defence industry supply chain.
In July, we exhibited at RSN 2024, the UK’s biggest annual international rail show, which is always a valuable experience for us. This year’s event at Derby Arena featured 154 exhibitors, and was visited by over 2,000 delegates from across the rail industry. As always, RSN provided a prime opportunity to showcase our high performance rail materials and expertise within the sector, as well as making valuable new contacts and reconnecting with many industry friends.
The range of CB Frost branded gifts that we gave away at the event were a great success, and the event as a whole was the best one we have attended yet. We welcomed record numbers of attendees to our stand, and achieved a very pleasing amount of enquiries and orders. Needless to say, we are already booked in to exhibit at RSN 2025, which will take place at Derby Arena on the 3rd July 2025.
Adding to our sales team
A key change for us in 2024 was welcoming Tom Crosby as our new sales engineer. With a background in the retail sector, Tom brings a different perspective and combination of skills to our sales team. From our initial discussions with Tom, it was very clear to us that he was the right person to join our team and align with our vision for the coming years.
We are extremely pleased with how Tom has adapted to his new position and committed to developing his skills and knowledge. We look forward to seeing Tom grow in the key role of developing our business in the future.
CB Frost on TV
Following the announcement of plans for the development of the new Great British Railways HQ, Daniel Brock spoke on BBC News East Midlands about the benefits to future generations that bringing HQ will ensure, safeguarding the rail industry for many years to come.
A brand new website and online shop
To finish 2024, after a lengthy development process, we were delighted to launch the brand new CB frost website. Following the growth of our company in recent years, we recognised that it was time to overhaul our existing website for a new design that balances a modern aesthetic with a more intuitive, user friendly navigation to help us provide the highest level of service to our customers.
To improve the user experience of our website visitors, we decided on a cleaner, more simplistic mega navigation, providing easy access to our key products, materials, industries and news.
In addition to revamping our website, we also took the opportunity to add an online shop, allowing our customers to buy sheet material and plain or adhesive backed tapes with ease. With a minimalistic design and simple grid layout, our products are easy to find, and available in a variety of sizes and variables, to suit specific needs.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Let us take this opportunity to thank all customers for your support this year. We hope you have a wonderful relaxing Christmas, filled with joy and happiness. Please note that we closed for Christmas on Friday 20th December 2024 and will re-open on Thursday 2nd January 2025. Any online orders taken in this period will be shipped on Friday 3rd January.
We will see you in 2025!
