Join Us In Donating To The Philippines Typhoon Appeal

Millions of people have been affected by Typhoon Haiyan which struck the Philippines on 8th November 2013. 

Typhoon Haiyan was 300 miles across and was the strongest tropical storm to ever make landfall. Hundreds of thousands of people have lost everything and are in urgent need of emergency shelter, food and clean water.

The Disaster Emergency Committee’s (DEC) Chief Executive Saleh Saeed said “The public’s reaction to the sheer devastation left by Typhoon Haiyan has been quite simply remarkable. We are so grateful for the huge volume of donations, which are vital to fund the work done by our member agencies’ emergency teams.”

The Cyclops Group will be holding a dress down day on Friday 29th November in aid of the Philippines Typhoon Appeal. All proceeds raised for the appeal are being used to deliver food, water, household items and tarpaulins to those affected by the typhoon.

If you would like to make a donation please visit the DEC website and click on the red 'donate now' button.

Cyclops Group Raises Money For The Breast Cancer Campaign Charity

This week The Cyclops Group held a charity bake off and a 'wear it pink' dress down day, all in aid of the Breast Cancer Campaign charity. 

At the beginning of the week we held a 'bake off' and raised an amazing £150. We had two days of volunteer bakers and a kind donation from The Marbeca Bakery, to help raise a whopping £121. We also raffled off a special collection of cupcakes, again donated from The Marbeca Bakery, and made £29. 

Then to round off the week, we held a 'Wear It Pink' dress down day, with members of staff wearing pink in support of the charity. We managed to raise a fantastic £110, meaning a total of £260 was raised for the Breast Cancer Campaign charity. 

A huge thank you to everyone who took part and to The Marbeca Bakery for helping raise money for this worthy charity.

To find out more about the charity, please visit the Breast Cancer Campaign website. 

Are You Looking for a Flexible Way to Sell Your Excess Stock?

In today's market, fluctuating component prices and inventory levels are a common occurrence. Just last year we saw semiconductor inventory reach an alarmingly high level, due to a surge in demand to facilitate an expected busy Christmas period.

Here at Trading Specialists we offer a full consignment selling option for your excess inventory. This is an ideal solution for when you have excess stock with a high residual value. 

Full Consignment Benefits

We market your excess stock globally to 16,000 OEMs, CEMs and distributors in 40 different countries, 24 hours a day. This enables us to get you the maximum value for your excess stock. 

We relocate your stock to our purpose-built ISO9001:2000 approved warehouse. We also cover the transport costs and provide insurance cover to give you complete piece of mind. 

You will retain full title over the stock until it's sold, meaning that you can have access to any unsold parts, at any time. We provide you with 24/7 access to your stock via our secure web based Consignment Partner Login area. 

You can even set your own price per part if you need to reach a target level of return. Or we can get one of our dedicated purchasing team members to asses current market values and attach a price for you.
