Today at work

Daughter collects balls twice a year when she’s back from uni.

She then sells them for a charity we support. Amounts to a good few hundred quid each time.

I helped her out other week when I caught two blokes wandering around picking up balls. Gave them a bollocking about trespass and theft before relieving them of about 400 balls they spent an hour collecting.

I actually spotted them when they climbed the gates to get in but let them do the hard work of picking up the balls and only approached them as they went back to their van to drive off…

That’s why you are the Devon Business Awards Farm Diversification on the year

When you get round to the top slab I imagine you are going to be installing a forest of Acrow props under the form work? My son is part of a design team that have developed a quick and easy version:

The J-Strut is a temporary steel support, often referred to as an ’acrow’ prop in the UK, which can be adjusted safely, quickly and effortlessly using a standard 1/2” impact wrench instead of a manual handle.

Each J-Strut is fitted with our patented gear collar which is wound up and down to adjust the support height using the J-Strut drive pinion. The pinion locates over the existing locking pin and can be used to drive multiple props at the pull of a trigger using a standard 1/2” impact wrench.

J-STRUT is a temporary steel prop that height adjusts safely, quickly and effortlessly using a cordless impact wrench.
