She knew it was never going to be easy as she had been plagued with injury throughout training – she just wanted to complete it and that she did!

Siân was over the moon to complete the marathon in a very impressive 4 hours 29 minutes and 37 seconds – we are all very proud of her – Well done Siân 🙂

Rip and Tip machine in action
The laboursave machine was installed in July 2017. The machine automatically picks up the 25 kilo sacks and runs them over spinning blades and a hopper to empty them into the elevator, which feeds the tanker. It then returns back to the pallet of bags, dropping the empty sacks into a holding bin before collecting the next run of full bags, repeating the process until the tanker is fully loaded.
Rip and Tip machine completes this batch of bags
This operation used to be done manually and would require at least 4 men, the operation now only requires one man, thus saving a lot of labour costs.
Please click on this link to see a video of the new machine in operation.

This year’s Suffolk Show was Debach Managing Director Bee Kemball’s first show as Honorary Show Director.
The event was a great success as the diverse lineup of stands and activities coupled with perfect weather conditions drew the crowds to Trinity Park in Ipswich. It was so successful that the overflow car park was opened for the first time in 12 years!
As part of her duties at this year’s show Bee presented to the winners of the Shetland Pony Grand National. Amongst the parents watching the competitors were famous champion jockey’s Bob Champion and Frankie Dettori.

Also during the show, Bee presented the prizes at The International Stairway event that we were sponsoring. The International Stairway was also supported by the British Showjumping Business Partnership.

As soon as one show finishes preparation begins straightaway for the next year’s show to be held on the 30th and 31st May 2018.
In the lead up to this year’s Suffolk Show a special ball was held at the Ringside Club Marquee at Trinity Park in Ipswich to raise money and awareness for three charities:
Team Rubicon – an international charity which unites military veterans to provide disaster relief in emergency situations.
Flourish – a Suffolk charity which addresses rural needs in the county.
Suffolk Agricultural Association’s education initiatives including the School Farm and Country Fair.
Bee hosts the ball.
Debach MD (and Honorary Suffolk Show Director) Bee Kemball hosted the military themed ball for the 670 guests in attendance and an auction during the event that included luxury prizes such as hotel stays, clothing and a flight in a WW2 Spitfire raised £30,000 for the three charities.
