What a day! ☀️🏇

We swapped the factory floor for the racecourse as the Dakin-Flathers Ltd team enjoyed a well-deserved day out at Pontefract Racecourse.

It’s not often we pause our 24/7 operation, but this was one of those rare and special occasions to bring everyone together.

With the sun shining and plenty of laughs, it was the perfect chance to relax, have some fun, and spend time with the people who make Dakin-Flathers what it is.

A brilliant day with an even better team!

Tired of wasting time and money changing blades every few hours?

Mark from was too — until he discovered Freshcut37 Bread Slicing Blades.

After switching, his team went from 20 hours of blade life to over 80 hours — that’s 3x longer and a huge boost in productivity! 🙌

“We used to change blades 2 or 3 times a week… now we don’t have to change them at all!”

Less downtime. Less waste. Lower costs. That’s the Dakin-Flathers difference!
