From Flooded Foundations to Soaring Success: REM’s Resilient Journey
In August 1967, a devastating flood descended upon the North of England, leaving devastation in its wake. The river coursing through Barrowford breached its banks, submerging the entire main street flooding homes and businesses in its path. As the torrent surged along its course, it inevitably reached the doors of Salon Ltd. With the ground saturated from an extended period of rain, the stability of the land around our premises became increasingly precarious. On the 9th of August, Salon Ltd's factory fell victim to a catastrophic landslide, obliterating the workshop and numerous surrounding structures.
Introducing REM Earth, the Sustainable Furniture Range.
REM's commitment to sustainability goes beyond mere rhetoric; it is an actionable blueprint for a greener and more responsible future. Through our ground breaking approach to furniture packaging, wood management, fabric waste, and cardboard reuse, we are setting a new standard for responsible business practices. By demonstrating that environmental responsibility can be seamlessly integrated into daily operations, we are not just a furniture manufacturer but a trailblazer in sustainable practices, inspiring others to follow suit and create a better, more sustainable world for all.
Our Commitment to Achieving Net Zero
We’re pleased to announce our latest addition to the team, Nina Akrigg, who joins REM as our Compliance Officer. Nina’s experience will be invaluable in continuing to drive REM’s processes and systems towards being leaner and greener as we move towards our target of achieving Net Zero. Nina is also responsible for H&S and Product Compliance, which involves learning about the technical make up of a product, specifications of components and documenting. We interviewed Nina about her background, new role, goals for the future.
Nelson Manufacturer Invests in Future Workforce
Oliver, a Burnley lad who attended Blessed Trinity School, is currently undertaking his apprenticeship at Burnley College. This new addition is a testament to REM's commitment to investing in the future of the industry and their long-standing history of training and developing talent and is one of several new APPRENTICE roles that will be created this year. Oliver has had a keen interest in JOINERY and CARPENTRY for several years, which is what drew him to pursue an apprenticeship with REM.
