Frost Electroplating support Tokyo 2020 dreams with £1,500 donation

Frost Electroplating Ltd — 06/06/2017

The UKs largest independent supplier of high-quality barrel, rack and reel-to-reel strip plating, Frost Electroplating have donated £1,500 to sponsor and support Para-Dressage rider, Ashleigh Jones.

Ashleigh, 21, was born with a form of Cerebral Palsy which has left her with reduced function throughout the whole of the right side of her body. Frost Electroplating are sponsoring Ashleigh for the first international competition of the year in July from 5-9th.

Ashleigh explained: I am so grateful for Frost Electroplating, without the support of them and many others, I wouldnt be able to get to where I want to be. There are two sides to every medal, the one side is the ultimate performance for me and the horse when we win that gold medal. On the other side, there is everyone who has been a part of the journey to make this possible to get me here.

At the age of seven as a form of physiotherapy she began to ride, but was told she would never be able to ride properly. Ashleigh is now an International Para Dressage Rider who is determined to make it to the top of her profession.

Ashleigh added: My main goal is to win gold at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics. I have always had the dream of winning gold, so to me that goal is non-negotiable. I just dream of having an amazing horse, having a gold medal around my neck at Tokyo 2020 and being able to thank everybody.

Unfortunately, dressage is a sport where the best horses win, but the best horses are hard to find and extremely expensive to buy. The cost of maintaining a horse and competing at this level is immense and set to increase as Ashleigh starts to compete abroad, to date, Ashleigh's only financial support has come from her family. This inspirational role-model now needs further financial support and sponsorship to continue her dream.

Frost Electroplatings Business Development Manager, Seamus Bourke stated: We are immensely proud of being able to support Ashleigh for her first international competition in the lead up to Tokyo. I would urge any other company capable of supporting her to do so. To see Ashleigh compete in Tokyo would be incredible and we wanted to help in making her dreams become a reality.

You can join Club 2020, to be part of Ashleighs journey to the 2020 Paralympic games in Tokyo, there are several options: make a small personal donation via Paypal as every little helps, or you may wish to be part of the horse syndicate consisting of 20 sponsors investing £1000 each. Commercial arrangements can be made with corporate sponsors looking to invest larger amounts or for a longer period of time.

Frost Electroplating Receive Award for Ventilator Challenge

Frost Electroplating Ltd — 01/10/2020

Metal Finishing specialists, Frost Electroplating recently received recognition from the likes of Airbus and Ford for taking part in the Ventilator Challenge consortium. The firm received a certificate of thanks which highlighted their “invaluable contribution to our Ventilator Challenge UK team”

Birmingham based manufacturer Frost Electroplating offers a wide range of capabilities for metal finishing including offering bespoke solutions and coatings to improve customers products.

The company continuously invests and innovates in developing high-performance coatings, and processes for an array of industries. Their range of nickel coatings meets many needs for specific hardness, corrosion resistance and low friction requirements. Their specialist areas include precious metals primarily for automotive electronic applications.

Frost Electroplating was awarded a certificate of thanks recently for taking part in the Ventilator Challenge UK. The document mentioned thanks from industry leaders Ford, Penlon, HVM Catapult, Mclaren, Siemens Healthineers and Airbus. The certificate read:

“Your Company was a vital part of our battle to save lives threatened by Covid-19, It has shown the very best of British business”

The firm also received a letter that states the determination, energy and ingenuity brought to the challenge thanks to companies such as Frost Electroplating. It also highlights that through the efforts of the companies involved, they have made sure that a “high-quality ventilator will be available for any patient who needs one.”

Frost was responsible for nickel plating and anodising parts already manufactured to ensure the quality needed for the Penlon Prima ES02 Ventilator. These parts included specialist fasteners, casings for electronics and bodies.

The project which started in April 2020 was due to be completed the second week of June which the firm ran 24 hours shifts, including weekends, to ensure the thousands of parts were ready for the ventilators.

Seamus Bourke, Business Development Manager at Frost Electroplating, said:

“We’d like to pay tribute to the workforce at Frost who have come in for special praise in volunteering to go the extra mile to produce the quantities required at such short notice. A prime example of this is that we’ve had components plated on Saturday morning to go on ventilator assemblies needed on the NHS frontline Sunday evening.

We’d also like to pay tribute to our existing clients in other market sectors for their understanding and tolerance as we work hard to maintain a first-class service to both the existing and additional supply chains”
