📅 Flashback to 1984 📅
We're taking a trip down memory lane with a look at our very first advertisement. Merrell Bros. started with a simple yet ambitious vision, and through dedication and hard work, we've come a long way.
This ad reminds us of our roots and the journey we've undertaken. We are grateful for the support and trust of our clients, partners, and team members who have been with us throughout this incredible journey.
Thank you for being a part of our story. Here’s to many more years of growth and innovation!

Love this! Also love that Merrell Bros., Inc. competed on price when they got started. How many other small business owners can relate? I know I can :) Thanks for the share and retro ad art!
In the Market of Giants (and 49ers), Our Local Focus Makes Us Mighty
In today's globalized world, it's easy to overlook the power of local expertise and commitment. But at NASLEF, we understand that being an underdog can be a superpower. Our members, often considered niche players compared to industry giants, are thriving thanks to their unwavering dedication to serving specific local and regional geographies. Here's why we believe this focus is a strategic advantage:
1. Deep Community Roots: Our members are woven into the fabric of their communities. They understand the unique needs, challenges, and opportunities of their local markets like no outsider can. This deep understanding fosters trust and loyalty with partners, creating a competitive edge in a world increasingly craving authenticity.
2. Unwavering Passion: Our members are driven by a genuine passion for their communities and the people they serve. This passion translates into exceptional service and dedication, qualities that resonate deeply with partners who value personal connections and meaningful interactions.
3. Collaboration and Innovation: Our members recognize the power of
collaboration. They readily share knowledge, resources, and best practices, fostering a culture of innovation that benefits both individual businesses and the community as a whole.
4. Building a Stronger Future: By investing in their local communities, our members are building a more resilient and prosperous future for all. They create homes, support local businesses, and contribute to the overall well-being of the regions they serve. This commitment to shared success
sets them apart from corporations solely focused on maximizing profits.
We are proud of our members, the underdogs who are proving that local focus and commitment can be a winning formula. They are an inspiration to us all, demonstrating that true success often lies in serving your community with passion, dedication, and a commitment to making a positive impact.
Are you also committed to your community and affordable housing? Consider joining NASLEF and becoming part of a network of passionate, innovative underdogs who are proving that local focus is a recipe for success. Together, local presence can make a national impact.

What a beautiful day at Levi's Stadium with the sky starting off a Honolulu Blue but turning red and yellow along with the fate of the game. What a great season for Detroit. Whoever is America's team, Detroit will always be mine. 💙 #onepride
“It’s not just a product, it’s part of our lives.” The #ModernArtisanGeorgia Wintle, who’s joined us for the third edition of our flagship talent programme with The King's Foundation, believes in the power of storytelling through what we wear.
Georgia is passionate about getting people to connect with their clothes by finding ways to add sentimental value to her designs, which she’ll handcraft alongside five other artisans at Dumfries House in Scotland, headquarters of The King’s Foundation.

Why so few Black Cowboys in ads?
——
With #Pharrell showcasing Western Wear in the latest #louisvuitton collection, all the buzz is about #blackcowboys.
In an interview, Pharrell rightly brings attention to the historical fact that the original American Cowboys were people of color— Black Americans and Indigenous people.
I have always felt as a #westernphotographer that I had a responsibility to honor this.
In this #lifestylecommercial I directed for Boot Barn, from the beginning I knew I wanted to tell a meaningful story that showcased Black Cowboys in the dignified light they deserve.
Black Cowboys are crucial to an accurate depiction of Western Lifestyle.
It’s important that Western brands & advertisers understand their responsibility to include people of color.
And not just when it's in vogue because Louis Vuitton did it.
Because it's the right thing to do.
Because life is better when we include all our friends.
And the world is a better place when all children see themselves positively represented in media.

I am, and each of the other 8,999 Flenderans are, immensely proud to work for a company with such #pedigree, #knowledge, #wisdom and #passion for moving the world.
Starting with a humble wooden pulley, Flender moved forward with developing #couplings, #industrial#gearboxes (including the infamous FZG range) and the Winergy series of #Wind#Turbine gearboxes. This great history in understanding how to provide a reliable solution to our customers has resulted in gearboxes that continue to ensure a high level of uptime and #availability, in some of the most arduous applications.
Over 125 years of designing #gears and couplings gives a solid foundation for the new generation of gearboxes, with the Flender One range leading the charge for the next 125 years and beyond incorporating integrated condition monitoring, higher efficiencies, and a simplified design process!
Flender. We Move the World.

125 years of Flender also means 125 years of future.
The Future Is Blue.

It's been a busy year for us so far at PINK!
Over the past 12 months, we've turned a disused office space into a thriving creative hub. From completing large-scale renovations, securing another floor (with a potential third to follow!), to achieving a full premises licence and a stable financial model, the journey has been incredible.
As we know, Manchester’s once-thriving artist-led scene has faced significant adversity in recent years. Rising property development, inflated building and rental costs, and dwindling funding opportunities have collectively eroded the foundation of this vital cultural ecosystem.
As spaces for artists to create and exhibit have become increasingly scarce, the resilience of Manchester's creative community has been put to the test. PINK has acted in direct response to these challenges. For the last 6 months, we have been opening our doors to the different people and projects that make up our creative community; testing an open-source space hire model that can become part of PINK’s attempt at self-sustaining.
This has all been part of a wider fundraising and development strategy that has been fermenting in the background. And by that, we mean that we have been RELENTLESSLY applying for funding from every corner of the region, UK, and beyond. Turning over every possible financial stone to raise the level of funding needed to match our ambitions.
This hard work is starting to pay off. We are delighted to have received news of support for 2025 from the Haworth Trust and the Henry Moore Foundation, supporting the development and delivery of 4 solo presentations by local and national artists - one being our very own, Pippa Eason!
These grants are a crucial part of our ambitious plan for 2025-2027 and will enable us to produce an innovative 2-year programme driven by the question: What could an artist-led future look like? Anchored in themes of support, growth, creative development, empowerment, and resilience, PINK will empower artists with the space and resources to innovate, think critically, and envision a bold artistic future.
The next few months look like MORE application and results deadlines… but we're ready for it!

The space at PINK has seen quite the tranformation since last year! And I’m very excited to produce a solo body of work kindly supported by Haworth Trust. Another huge thank you to Katy for her ongoing support.

What principles guide your company's direction? Are they good? Are they bad?
At Garrett, we paused in 2022 after our last founder passed away to reflect on our history and our values and we codified the results in what we call our "Four Pillars". Garrett's Four Pillars are both historical and aspirational. They are the principles that we intend to retain and strengthen as we make decisions to guide our future. Over the next four weeks, I'll share our Pillars with you. #GarrettCares#Garrett4Pillars
