Have you spotted a familiar name above Edenbridge High Street?

This year, Edenbridge Bonfire Society invited supporters to decorate medieval flags as a new addition to its sponsorship programme.

As a regular supporter, our flag was decorated for us as a thank you for donating foam to the Society, and we're delighted to see it hanging alongside those of other local supporters.

There's also a personal connection. Our very own Andrea Deans is heavily involved with Edenbridge Bonfire Society, dedicating a great deal of her own time to helping make this much-loved community tradition happen.

It's lovely to see the creativity on display and the local businesses and volunteers coming together to support the Society.

Next time you're walking along the High Street, look up and see how many flags you can spot!

What a day!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday for National Manufacturing Day 2026.

It was fantastic to welcome students, teachers, local businesses and visitors through our doors and give them a glimpse behind the scenes at Kewell Converters.

From exploring the factory and meeting the team to getting hands-on with a few challenges, there was plenty of curiosity, lots of questions and some great conversations throughout the day.

And a big thank you to the Kewell Converters team for taking the time to share what they do.

We hope everyone who visited enjoyed the day as much as we did.

Proud to have been part of with Make UK.

What happens when demand suddenly increases?

In some sectors, growth isn’t gradual. It happens fast.

New product launches. Increased demand. Scaling production.
We’ve seen cases where customers expect 30-35% growth in demand within a year

That creates pressure on supply chains, capacity and material availability.

And it highlights the importance of working with suppliers who can scale alongside you.

Ice lollies might help the team cool down, but keeping manufacturing consistent during extreme heat takes a little more planning.

High temperatures can influence how certain materials behave, as well as how they are stored, handled and processed. Machinery and equipment performance may also be affected, while production schedules sometimes need to allow for additional monitoring as conditions change.

At Kewell Converters, maintaining consistent quality means carefully controlling every stage of the manufacturing process, whatever the weather. Alongside helping the team stay comfortable during the hottest days with plenty of water, regular breaks and the occasional frozen treat, robust processes and careful planning help keep production running smoothly.

The finished component may look exactly the same, but periods of extreme weather are a useful reminder of just how many environmental factors manufacturers manage behind the scenes to deliver consistent results.

Stay cool, everyone! ☀️

With temperatures climbing above 30°C this week, it's been a challenging few days across the factory.

Sometimes it's the simple things that make all the difference!

A well-earned ice lolly gave the team a chance to cool down before getting back to work, keeping production moving while looking after one another in the heat.

A big thank you to everyone for their continued hard work and commitment during another busy week.
