Selwyn Day at Shepley Spring – An Uplifting Occasion!

Posted on August 30, 2024

Sunshine bathed Shepley Spring HQ as they celebrated and commemorated their founder, on August 29th.

Joey and Neil were honoured to be amongst family, friends, colleagues old and new, as well as a wide range of business associates, who gathered to hear James Smith make a warm tribute to his father, Selwyn Smith.

Generous in praise of his father’s sound business acumen and leadership, it is clear just how much pride James takes in maintaining family business values as Shepley Spring’s success and growth continues apace.

Neil commented “Despite sharing a surname, and living in Shepley, there is no family connection to Shepley Spring! But having worked on their branding, packaging, exhibitions and vehicle livery, for something like 30 years, we are truly thrilled to be part of this success story. I was touched to hear Blacksmith’s contribution mentioned in James’ speech.”
