Extract from Malaysian Sports Paper; written by NG WEI LOON
Australia HPC visit Malaysia:
Young Aussies get the goals in friendly matches:
Visiting HPC football team from Perth Australia sponsored by “Sikla UK Limited” got off to a good start in their opening friendly match at the National Sports Council pitch in Bukit Jalil recently.
On the first match of the day Fremantle Under 15 squad shot four goals past the local Arsenal Soccer School. Gabriel Keiswetter opened the account for the visitors in the first 15 minutes of play then added a second in the 35th minute while Jackson Turner and Michael Vlasich added a goal each in the second half.
“Head of Youth Development Australasia for Burnley Football Club England” Paul Wozny was satisfied with the player’s performance in the match.
With little preparation prior to our first match, and humidity taking its toll, our players opted to play a possession game which frustrated the locals.
Fremantle recorded a 1-0 win in their second match against the Bukit Jalil Sports School; the early night to bed gave the players a well earned rest
Besides the matches against the Arsenal School & BJSS the visiting team will square off against PKNS, Selangor, YFA and then take on our Malaysian National U14 Select side as their pinnacle match.
Burnley coach, Paul said; the 10 day development tour was an opportunity for the young players to experience the rigors of professional football in trying conditions, also for the coaching staff to evaluate player’s true character in readiness for the next step forward towards professional football.

EDF West Burton CCGT Project
Following an invitation from our client to visit the largest ever cable containment application of our FRAMO 80 product, we had the opportunity to take some nice photos which can now be found on this website. It sets a picture perfect example of how FRAMO 80 can substitute heavy and cumbersome steelwork resulting in significant weight-reduction, total hot works avoidance and enhanced flexibility.
Willis Telecom HQ, Wellington
"Wellington's HOTTEST Heat Pump & Air Conditioning Company" have completed their first FRAMO 80 built roof plantroom, preferring SIKLA's box clever system over the conventional method of welded steel. Willis Telecom Headquarters will be a five-green-star- rated building, meaning it will use the latest in environmental design, including energy-efficient lighting, solar panels and possibly wind turbines. The use of a secondary steel system that saves up to 80% material fits perfectly into this philosophy. For our NZ team at Steel & Tube this project is a milestone in their market development for the Framo 80 product.
Product Awareness Team (North)
Sikla wish to appoint a "Product Awareness" field sales representative to our UK team. You will be responsible for developing customer awareness of the Sikla PRODUCTS and ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS, maintaining customer liaison and to develop a customer base in the Midlands and North of England.
Sikla HCP Protection Systems
HCP is not a particular method but it stands for the following claim:
"The protection's performance equals or outperforms the one of hot-dipped galvanisation."
The results of this alternative approach are quite impressive as the following image shows. The Cantilever Bracket above is coated with a zinc-lamella layer whereas the one below is the traditional zinc-galvanised product. The picture shows both after 1,440 h salt spray test.
New Brochure Available Now
If you wish to learn more about HCP and the various technologies that are behind this term, please call off a copy of the new HCP brochure by replying to this newsletter.
The SIKLA Componentry Cost Advantages Consultancy Project
Under this headline SIKLA is entering into a joint industry study with Oxford Brookes University in order to back up the allegation that the usage of fast-assembly components has a significant acceleration and cost-saving impact. For many years SIKLA has been watching the cultivation of outdated practices, justified by no more but the claim 'We have always done it this way'. We now feel it is time to fight wastage of material and labour. It is also time to clear up with the myth that cheaper small parts, sourced from the more remote parts of the globe, have any positive impact whatsoever on the profitability of the persons whom use them and on the sustainability of the projects these are built in.
We will keep you up to date with our newsletter on the progress of the SIKLA Componentry Cost Advantages Project. If you don't want to wait you can order your personal copy of the 'Did You Know ?' booklet now! Just send an e-mail to miltonkeynes@sikla.co.uk with the subject 'Did You Know?' and be the first to benefit.
