“ It doesn ’ t mean that you ’ re going to walk in amidst sermons in the corridors or be preached at on a daily basis ,” he laughs . “ But we want people to be aware of our beliefs and to not take offence when one of my colleagues or I pray before a company luncheon . We have a chaplain service at each of our locations that provides support and prayers for both internal and external issues ; if somebody is having problems within their home life or struggling for any reason , it ’ s a safe space for them to seek out comfort .
New contract
“ What ’ s wonderful is , despite the users ’ personal information never being disclosed to myself or anyone else , we do get anonymous statistics of how many people use the service , and it ’ s very encouraging to see . We anchor our lives in God , and work with our heads , hands , and hearts to achieve our goals .
“ We ’ ve had a very strong year ,” Greg concludes . “ I fully anticipate that the strong growth we ’ ve had across the board is set to continue . All of our order books are showing
a great increase as the year progresses , so I wouldn ’ t be surprised if 2023 turned out to be one of our better , if not our best , years yet . “ Simultaneously , material prices are starting to drop and , we ’ ve added a lot of automation across our plants in recent years , which I ’ m excited to continue adding to . Our systems literally allow us to step back and let the welding take place automatically . I am sure we will be adding additional Cobots within the next six months ..
“ Furthermore , we ’ ve recently signed our largest organic growth contract in the company ’ s history . This is going to be huge for Anchor as , although I can ’ t yet release too many details , it ’ s going to be a $ 65 millionper-year opportunity , for which we ’ ve already leased another 178,000 square feet of manufacturing space in Smithville , Tennessee . So that ’ s really big for us , along with the recent acquisition of JR Custom in Wichita , KS .” ■
