400 Years of Maryland – Reflections from Kiplin Hall

Last week, I had the privilege of attending a truly special celebration at Kiplin Hall, North Yorkshire. Kiplin Hill is a place steeped in history and close to my heart, the ancestral home of George Calvert, the 1st Baron Baltimore, who founded the colony of Maryland in America 400 years ago this year. During these events I had the privilege of meeting the former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. He spoke warmly of the importance of heritage, community and the people who keep these connections alive. I couldn’t agree more.

As someone who is in an industry rooted in legacy and precision, I often think about how the past shapes the present. Events like this are a reminder of how far we’ve come and how important it is to support the places and people preserving our history for future generations. A big thank you to the team at Kiplin Hall for all that you do.

Meanwhile, down in the South of England, my team has begun work on an industrial new foul water connection for one of our valued clients. It’s a busy period for us and the team has been working flat out, something I’m incredibly grateful for. A huge thanks as well to our customers for keeping us so busy!

Thanks for reading.
