All in a Day’s (and night’s) Work

LCEU jetters were on hand to help restore order to communities following the recent bad weather.

Anglesey was particularly badly hit and our on call crew was immediately mobilised to the worst hit area when floodwaters rushed through the centre of Llangefni after the river burst its banks.

Battling against atrocious conditions Phil and Nathan worked throughout the night and were supported the next day by our other crew Paul and Harry with both crews working tirelessly supporting customers the length and breadth of the island.

Henllan FC has notched up its second championship title in as many years. Having survived a lean few years in the Llandyrnog and District Summer League the team, sponsored by Lawson Civil Engineering and Utilities Ltd, was crowned 2016 champions. Having tasted success and liking it they weren’t, however, about to relinquish their title and retained it this season (2017) in convincing fashion with two games to spare.

Now the club hopes to go one better than last year by also beating Llanfair to clinch the league’s prestigious Tony Evans Memorial Shield – settling old score, proving Henllan FC is a force to be reckoned with and the ones to be beaten.

Shield Final on Friday July 14th at 7:00pm in Rhewl. Henllan v Llanfair

Christmas Hats off (and a big thank you) to LCEU Directors

The Lawson workforce, all suited and booted, stepped out with their partners for their annual Christmas dinner and dance recently. This much anticipated all expenses paid annual event is hosted by the LCEU Directors, and was this year held at the St George Hotel, Llandudno on Friday evening, December 16th 2016.

So as not to leave out the younger members of the family, LCEU Directors also hosted a children’s Christmas party on Sunday, December 18th where all children were treated to lunch, entertainment by Mr Bamboozle and a wonderful gift from the main man himself – Santa. The party, held this year at The Plough, St Asaph is always enjoyed by old and young alike.

Employees and their families wish to thank the LCEU Directors for their generosity and Vicky for organising the two events..
