Top Battery Dealer in Northern England Celebrates 21 years of Expansion

(PRWEB) February 5, 2011

Eric Roberts Managing Director of Pellon Tyre and Auto centre, one of Yorkshire leading companies in their field is celebrating, his companies twenty first year in business.

His company started out in 1989, when he bought a two bay small tyre business in Halifax, in the UK. The company only sold cheap tyres, usually re-treads or low cost budget brands. ?At the beginning it was very tough?Eric explains,? ?we had receptionist called Debbie, who still works for me now, and two tyre fitters, the first day we had a snow fall and all hell broke loose, we struggled to cope but got there in the end?. The takings made up for the achings.

Since that day Pellon grew from strength to strength. The tyre side of the business remained at high levels, but before long Pellon were doing MOT testing and car menu servicing and the turnover began to steadily climb.

In the nineties and yet another recession, Eric introduced a new point of sale computer system from a well known auto software company TEAM,(Tyre and Exhaust Management). This was a great step forward and helped Pellon Tyres move on to expand into other auto related things, such as mechanical work and batteries and exhaust systems. ?This was mainly due to our increased capacity of stock holding available to us from our new TEAM computer system.

We then rented a small warehouse near by and became Bosal exhaust and catalytic converter stockists. Pellon were also able to improve their battery side of the business, by including leisure and mobility batteries into their range along with car batteries and started trading their own brand called Pennine batteries, this was very successful but it was soon apparent that they would need a leading brand to trade with Pennine batteries and after trying different ones settled for a brand called Lucas Batteries, this turned out to be a good move and the company use this brand today.

The next move up was the formation of our first web site in 2001, Called http://www.pellonautocentre.com this was primarily an informational web site, but in 2009, Eric Roberts introduced a tyre selector which baled him to start offering tyres online. The company also opened http://www.batteriesontheweb.co.uk to sell leisure and mobility batteries across the UK.

This was introduced after the successful opening of our E-Bay shop in 2009. Eric Roberts is very excited about the future and has one or two new ideas up his sleeve , including the merger of his two web sites into one and his newly found love of blogging, offering his vast experience in the garage and tyre trade to others through his blog at anthropocentric/blog. Pellon autocentre has now become one of the leading companies in its field in the North of England, indeed as far as batteries go it is a leading player in the whole of the UK.

The company is in close relationships with the giants of tyre distribution Michel-Devers, who have a huge distribution centre in Elland about four mile from Halifax, home of Pellon autocentre, giving them access to multi million pounds worth of tyre stock.

Historic Salmon Cannery Celebrates 27 Years as Alaska's Premier Salmon Fishing Resort

Ketchikan, AK (PRWEB) March 19, 2011

Waterfall Resort, a historic former cannery turned upscale, world-class saltwater sport fishing resort is located on the west coast of Prince of Wales Island in Southeast Alaska?s famous Inside Passage. Waterfall attracts anglers of all skill levels for staggering numbers of trophy-size King Salmon, Coho and Halibut and offers a Fly-Free to Alaska promotion when a guest books the all-inclusive 3-night / 4-day sport fishing package on selected dates.

?Celebrating 27 years, Waterfall?s $ 100,000 King of Kings Salmon Tournament awards over 29 prizes for which guests vie for throughout the summer. From a Ford Truck to an international Princess Cruise for two, and gift certificates from Cabela?s, the annual Tournament is a Waterfall tradition and favorite!

The 3-night/4-day Waterfall Package includes: round-trip floatplane, accommodations, meals, guided fishing, fishing gear, rain gear, and fish processing.

Waterfall Resort offers some of the best salmon and halibut sport fishing in the world. In the clear, cool waters surrounding Prince of Wales Island, rich tides prime the deep waters with millions of bait fish that attract annual returns of trophy-size salmon, halibut, red snapper, and ling cod. These natural phenomena first made Waterfall one of the most productive salmon canneries in Alaska.

Today, the resort attracts anglers of all skill levels for legendary sport fishing and Alaskan adventure. Waterfall?s guides, among the most experienced in Alaska, are certified, licensed, recruited from across the nation and return each year to helm cruisers that fish 4 guests per boat.

"For the novice angler to grizzled old salts, here?s a piece of advice. Put away your ego, forget about your past fishing experiences and listen to your guide, following his instructions to a tee" suggests Peter Ottesen, Outdoor writer

At Waterfall Resort, where Chinook salmon is ?king,? it takes a special technique to hook and net the ultimate prize. Catching a salmon requires mooching with a plug herring. While the boat drifts you are asked to lower the bait slowly, so it doesn?t wrap around itself. On the way down to depth prescribed by your guide, be alert to the slightest bite or hesitation, or a complete stop. If this happens, reel back about 10 turns on your Shimano level-wind and you?ll quickly learn if a salmon is present.

Never ever set the hook. Reel at a steady pace and allow the G. Loomis Rod to load up and nearly bend into the water, as if it were a witching stick. Only then do you raise the rod as the salmon bolts to the ocean depths. Do not jerk the rod or horse the fish. Salmon have soft mouths. Allow it to take line, don?t cinch the drag or thumb the reel, and let the rod do the work. It?s an epic battle you can win, if you follow instructions.

With a fleet of 27 state-of-the-art aluminum North River / Almar cabin cruisers piloted by Coast-guard certified guides, Waterfall guests fish from the largest private fleet of charter boats in Alaska.

After an exhilarating day on the water, the fish are taken to the seafood processing area where experienced cutters fillet (according to each guest?s request), vacuum-package, and flash freeze the catch. The fish are then placed in special wet-lock boxes for the return trip home.

The Resort?s 4-star meals and 4-star accommodations welcome guests while the one-to-one guest-to-staff ratio allows staff to provide attention to detail for each visitor?s requests and comfort.

Easy-to-get-to, Waterfall Resort is 600 miles north of Seattle and 63 air miles west of Ketchikan via a scenic 45-minute floatplane trip which is one of the most memorable highlights of this Alaska experience.

Upon arrival at Waterfall, guests board their assigned cruisers. The legendary Waterfall sport fishing adventure is underway within moments of landing.

Waterfall Resort is the only remote resort in Alaska to have an on-site airline agent. The Alaska Airlines dockside agents facilitate a ?hassle-free? departure day. Luggage and fish boxes are checked in at the Resort and then transferred directly to the guest?s flight leaving Ketchikan.

*Special Offer:

Fly Free to Ketchikan, Alaska from U.S. cities only.

*Offer not valid with any other offers or discounts and good on selected dates based upon availability. Restrictions apply, contact Waterfall Resort for details.
