Germinal’s Post

Those of you who email me will see a new email signature strip below my name. Germinal and its parent company Openfolde are celebrating their 200th anniversary in 2025. Not only is that an incredible achievement, but what makes it even more special, is that the company has been owned and run by the same family for the whole of that time. It is currently being run by the 6th Generation of the family and I am somewhat surprised to note that I have worked for half of those Generations, Mr. Stephen Gilbert, John Gilbert and William Gilbert. I would like to congratulate them, their forebears and all the previous managers in the group, for 200 years of successful business.
