BUSINESS Telegraph begins its festive break today.
The daily page will reappear in the first full week of the new year – on Monday, January 7 – with the next monthly supplement to be published on Tuesday, January 15.
Morrison's arrival in seafood manufacturing, Young's consolidation of considerable operations into the town, Centrica's launch in renewable energy operations and maintenance and the work beginning on Grimsby's huge £25 million riverside car terminal have been clear highlights, while Kimberly-Clark's shock announcement that it is to close the Barton plant was a particular low.
2012 has been a special year for several stalwarts of the area's business scene, with Port of Immingham, GBA Group, Clugston Construction and Sutcliffe Solloway all celebrating significant milestones.
And the success of both Ramsden International and Freshney Place at the British Chambers of Commerce Awards underlined the country-leading standards that can be found on our patch.
We would like to take this opportunity to wish all readers and advertisers a very Merry Christmas and all the very best for a prosperous new year.
It is a new dawn in which we eagerly await the decision from Government on the proposed Able Marine Energy Park – a resolution that could shine a very favourable light on 2013 and northern Lincolnshire's prospects in the renewable industry that Grimsby is already building a strong reputation in.
