Suggestion for Cost Saving:
- We assessed the energy usage of every mahcine in our factory. We pin-pointed the 3 biggest energy users and developed a production plan to only run 1 of these machines at any one time. We achieved savings in excess of 10%.

Thanks Johnny for your input & preparation for monthly meetings & am looking forward to seeing the cost saving ideas up on the site for last night’s event, please think about the proposal to run (or associate the Business Network or some members of) with Gerry Duffy & Ken Whitelaw in Lough Rynn, Sunday , August 1st . The associated web site is http://www.32marathons.com. Ray D’arcy is due to run with these guys either in Cavan town on the Saturday or in Lough Rynn on the Sunday. If D’arcy decides for Lough Rynn (which you’d hope and expect he would), some positive exposure for Leitrim should be possible & given that Leonard Cohen is playing in Lissadell on Saturday & Sunday night with Westlife there too, we in Sligo-Leitrim should look to promote our area in an understated but effective manner.
Please consider the above and get back to me; good luck and enjoy the Holidays , hope baby is well & Johnny “LOVE THE SHOW” , regards TT
