On May 3rd, 2024, United Resources (UR) marked a significant milestone by moving into our new location at 2 Gul Link. This transition symbolises not just a change in physical space, but the beginning of an exciting new chapter in the company’s journey. The event was celebrated with those dear to us, bringing together over 50 guests, including esteemed partners, loyal customers, and even former staff members along with their families. It was a day filled with nostalgia, joy, and a shared sense of pride in the company’s growth and achievements.
The event was planned to celebrate and reflect UR’s rich history and company values. The festivities commenced with a fun and informative quiz that tested the guests’ knowledge about UR’s journey and core values. This interactive activity served as an icebreaker, encouraging communication between disparate groups of attendees while educating them about the foundational principles that have guided the company over the years.
Adding to the vibrant atmosphere was an auspicious lion dance performance. The lion dance, deeply rooted in Chinese tradition, is believed to bring good luck and fortune, making it a perfect choice to inaugurate UR’s new premises. The energetic and colourful performance captivated the audience, while ushering in prosperity and many good years ahead for our company in its new location.
The highlight of our grand opening was the Experience Stations. These stations were designed to engage guests in a hands-on, interactive manner, allowing them to explore UR’s latest workplace solutions. Our Innovations Team proudly showcased their newest offerings, providing guests with a glimpse into the future of industrial solutions and workplace safety. Blending informative segments and fun activities, these stations made learning about UR’s solutions enjoyable for all involved.
At one station, guests had the opportunity to learn about the process of soap making. This activity highlighted the surprisingly complex means of homemade soap production, reflecting UR’s commitment to educating our clients about the industry while celebrating our beginnings as chemical solution providers. It also emphasized the company’s focus on sustainability, as the soaps made were eco-friendly, highlighting UR’s dedication to environmentally responsible practices.
At another station helmed by our Innovations Team, guests experienced our Augmented Reality (AR) Wearable Solution. Our guests had the opportunity to experience this technology for themselves, as they donned the eyewear to receive remote instructions from our team on how to assemble a cube. The station represented a glimpse into the future of remote worker supervision and safety.
Our third station showcased our robotic cleaner, specially suited to cleaning cargo hulls. With its magnetised tracks, it effortlessly scaled the walls of our building, showing its manoeuverability and strength. This robotic solution is also the fruit of our Innovations Team, ceaseless in their pursuit of the latest industrial technology breakthroughs.
In addition to the educational activities, the guests were also treated to customised tote bags, which they could take home as a souvenir. These tote bags were not just a token of appreciation: they showcased UR’s plans to offer customisation on safety PPE. The customisation of the bags added a personal touch to the event, making each guest feel valued and appreciated.
A buffet lunch was served midway through the event, providing an opportunity for guests to relax and socialize. The lunch was more than just a meal; it was a time for rekindling old friendships and forging new connections. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, as guests shared stories and caught up with their peers.
As the event drew to a close, there was a palpable sense of accomplishment and optimism in the air. The successful move to the new location at 2 Gul Link marks a significant step forward for United Resources. The event was not just a celebration of the new premises, but also a reflection of the company’s past achievements and its bright future. It was a day that left an indelible mark on all who attended, signalling the start of an exciting new era for United Resources. The move to 2 Gul Link is more than just a change of address; it represents the company’s continued growth, resilience, and commitment to excellence in the years to come.
