Sad news
It is with great sadness that we report that Lesley Dickin passed away on Wednesday 26th January 2022; she had suffered a brief illness before passing away in hospital where Steve, Jamie (their son) and sister were with her to the end.
For Ambic, Lesley was a valuable and important member of our office team and was responsible for Sales & Marketing, HR and a raft of other roles which she managed with ease and great professionalism for a little over eighteen years. She will be missed most of all for her smile, friendship and can-do attitude.
New CNC Machine Commissioned at Ambic
Ambic has just commissioned a new 3 Axis CNC machine for its Engineering and Tool Making Department, enabling it to undertake more tool making work-in house and thus shorten tool making lead times where certain engineering processes previously had to be outsourced. The CNC Machine was recently installed in a refurbished Tool Room which was extended to accommodate the new machine.

Ambic Bids Farewell to Mike Tyler with an Unconventional ‘Virtual’ Retirement Party!
Reluctant to miss the opportunity to say a proper fond farewell to Mike Tyler, Ambic’s Financial Controller, who retired after more than 14 years in the job, staff at Ambic organised a virtual or ‘on-line’ retirement party for him just before the Easter break.
Office staff working from home joined production staff in Witney by dialling in to a virtual on-line meeting to hear Colin Kingston, Ambic’s MD, sing Mike’s praises for his dedication to Ambic in helping to steer Ambic through a period of significant growth and change.
Mike will be invited back to Ambic once conditions return to normal for a more conventional celebration.

MilkSampler Improvement
Following the addition of ultra-sonic welding of the MilkSampler Cap to the MilkSampler Body in 2013 an O-Ring has now been added to the external seal, as illustrated below, in order to prevent any ingress of moisture between the MilkSampler Cap and the MilkSampler Body.
The Ambic MilkSampler has proven to be a very popular herd management tool which is ideal for checking the constituents of milk, such as protein levels, for determining somatic cell counts and for taking Bactoscan measurements.
It is ideally suited to the NMR Essential Sampling Service in the UK as well as for comparable schemes that operate in a number of markets.
For more details on the Ambic MilkSampler visit the web page.
