Sometimes January felt like the longest of months especially whilst we’re all in a state of winter hibernation, but for Twelve PR it was peppered with four of our favourite coverage pieces.
Here is our January roundup.
Hydraulics & Pneumatics – Zero tolerance towards hose re-ending
Last Autumn we worked with the British Fluid Power Association on the launch of their important ‘Choose Q for Quality’ campaign which highlighted the BFPA Approved Hose Assemblies Scheme and the associated Q ‘Quality’ Logo. The scheme sets best practice guidelines for hose manufacturing, distribution and fitting. Members who sell and fit hoses in the scheme must meet strict criteria to carry the Q Mark, a sign of guaranteed quality, and to never practice hose re–ending which can be incredibly dangerous.

The Canmaker – Dutch Michelin-starred chef launches gourmet meals in cans
Tata Steel’s Packaging division recently released a new case study featuring Dutch Michelin-starred chef, Joris Bijdendijk, who has launched a new canned food brand called SNERT. Joris runs the award-winning kitchen at RIJKS restaurant and is a true champion of food from the low countries. The brand is inspired by the classic Dutch winter favourite – snert, a pea soup. Tata Steel and Trivium Packaging have also helped Joris promote the sustainability of metal packaging to a new audience.
Business development manager at Tata Steel Marnix Böggemann added: “It’s great to work with these guys, to feel their energy and share their passion for delicious food in cans. This initiative raises the profile of canned food and I hope rightfully confirms its place at eye-level on the supermarket shelves.”
