Xa kuziwa kwimveliso kunye noomatshini, i-Adelphi iqinisekisa ukuba asinamaxhala, kuba ibonelele ngenkonzo ebalaseleyo eyaqala emva kokusungulwa kwe-LittlePod ngo-2010. Ukuqinisekisa ukuba sinazo zonke izixhobo ezichanekileyo kunye nokugcina yonke into ihamba kakuhle, iqela lika-Adelphi lidlale indima ebalulekileyo kwiPhulo lethu leVanilla yokwenene, akukho namnye ngaphezu kukaDean Willis. Iminyaka elishumi elinesihlanu ukusukela oko wandwendwela i-LittlePod HQ okokuqala, uMlawuli weNtengiso we-Adelphi Manufacturing wabuyela e-East Devon ukuze ahlaziye abantu abazana noJanet kunye neqela. Enomdla wokufumana ngakumbi malunga nokuba yintoni intsebenziswano egqibeleleyo, uPaul wahlala phantsi noDean. Ngawo la amazwi akhe:

Sibe yinxalenye yohambo lwe-LittlePod iminyaka eli-15. Kuye kwanelisa ukubona indlela inkampani ekhule ngayo kwaye yaphuhliswa ngelo xesha kunye nokwazi ukuba sinendima kuyo yonke into eyenziwe yi-LittlePod. Ndikhumbula ndiqala ukuza apha ngo-2010 ndizodibana noJanet. Emva phaya wayelungise yonke into ekhitshini kwaye wayefuna uncedo lokugcwalisa iibhotile kunye neetyhubhu. Siye samazisa kumatshini wakhe wokuqala wokuzalisa kwaye wenza umahluko omkhulu. Ukusukela ngoko i-LittlePod ikhule ngaphaya kwayo yonke ingqalelo. Bekumnandi ukuyibukela yonke ikhula.

Kanye njengeLittlePod, uAdelphi ukhule kakhulu. Saqala ngo-1947 kwishishini lokupakisha. U-Adelphi uselishishini losapho, inkampani yomyeni nenkosikazi, kwaye asizange siphulukane nolo mvakalelo. Kodwa ukusukela kwezo ntsuku zakuqala, siye saba sikhulu kakhulu kwaye ngoku sineenkampani ezine ezahlukeneyo. Nantsi lapho Adelphi Manufacturing endisebenzelayo kunye ne-Adelphi Masterfil, i-Adelphi Pharma Hygiene Products kunye ne-Adelphi Healthcare Packaging. Sisebenzela ukutya, amayeza, izinto zangasese, izinto zokuthambisa nokunye. Akukho mzuzu utyhafileyo-njengalapha eLittlePod!

Ndajoyina i-Adelphi ngo-1993 kwaye ndiza kunyuka ukuya kwiminyaka engama-32 kunye nenkampani. Ndiqale njengomthengisi kwaye ndisebenze indlela yam ukuya kuba ngumlawuli wentengiso. Ibiluhambo olude! Ebudeni belo xesha, ndiye ndadibana nabantu abaninzi, kodwa bambalwa abafana noJanet. Unothando olunjalo kwaye andizange ndidibane nomnye umntu ofana naye. Abantu bahlala beqala ngokuthanda kakhulu, kodwa amaxesha amaninzi ishishini lithatha indawo kwaye kunzima ukuligcina. Iminyaka elishumi elinesihlanu okoko waqala i-LittlePod, ndicinga ukuba ukuthanda kukaJanet oku kukhulu kunangaphambili - nangaphezulu kunango-2010.

Kukuthanda kukaJanet okwenza iLittlePod ibe nomtsalane ebantwini. Bekusoloko kunjalo kum. Umdla wakhe ubusoloko ikukudlulisela ebantwini into abaphoswa yiyo kwaye yonke imisonto evela koku iyenza ibe nomtsalane. Kukho igadi yeziqhamo yaseLittlePod eIndonesia kwaye kukho abasasazi apha, phaya naphi na; kukho iimveliso ezinkulu kunye namabali anomdla kunye nabo bonke abantu abahlukeneyo ababandakanyekayo ekwenzeni konke kwenzeke. Oko kubandakanya uAdelphi, kunjalo. Kodwa kufuneka ndigxininise ukuba oku akunakuze kwenzeke ukuba uJanet wayengenalo uthando kunye nazo zonke ezi ngcinga kunye neengcamango: apho uya khona, wenze ntoni kwaye wenze njani.

Ndicinga ukuba oko uJanet akuzuzileyo kule minyaka ili-15 idlulileyo kuyakhuthaza kakhulu. Andikwazi kulinda ukubona ukuba uza kwenza ntoni ngokulandelayo!

UDean Willis, uAdelphi Manufacturing

Ngo-2020, sanceda i-LittlePod ukuba izenzekele ngokupheleleyo. Ndiyikhumbula kakuhle. Ndihlele yonke into. Yayilucelomngeni olukhulu. Umatshini wokuzalisa umbhobho we-LittlePod we-TGM wenziwa e-Itali. Umsebenzi wokuqala yayikukuyisa eDevon. Sifumene indawo yokuyigcina, kufutshane nesikhululo seenqwelomoya sase-Exeter, ngaphambi kokuba siyithuthele kwiLittlePod HQ, phantsi kwazo zonke ezi ndlela zimxinwa zelizwe. Kwakungekho ndlela yokuba ilori ijike ingene kwindlela yokungena, ngoko wonke umntu owayelapha kwafuneka ayincedise ukuyothula endleleni aze ayifake esi sakhiwo. Kwafuneka sikhuphe amasuntswana kumatshini size sisuse izinto zokulungisa iingcango ukuze nje singene ngaphakathi. Yayilusuku olunika umdla, oko kuqinisekileyo. Andinakuze ndiyilibale!

Kuhlala kumnandi ukutyelela i-LittlePod kwaye ubone umatshini usetyenziswa kakuhle. Ukuyifumana apha ibingumsebenzi onzima kodwa sakuba siwuqalile sawuqhuba, asizange sijonge ngasemva. Sathetha ngokwenza le nto ixeshana kwaye ndandisithi kuJanet, 'akekabikho' ngokwamanani. Ekugqibeleni, xa sifikelela kwinqanaba apho kwacaca ukuba i-automation iya kuba yinzuzo, umatshini we-TGM wathengwa kwaye ubonakalise ukuba uxabiseke kakhulu ukususela ngoko. Ixesha lalilungile kwaye isigqibo esenziwa nguJanet emva koko siye sanceda i-LittlePod ukuba iqhubeke nemfuno ekhulayo. Ukumnceda ukuba enze eli nyathelo kube luyolo kubo bonke e-Adelphi Manufacturing.

Ndicinga ukuba oko uJanet akuzuzileyo kule minyaka ili-15 idlulileyo kuyakhuthaza kakhulu. Ndirhalela ukubona into ayenzayo kule minyaka ili-15 izayo. Unokwenza nantoni na azimisele kuyo. Into emnandi kukubona bonke abantu ebeze nabo. Ukufundisa, ukuqeqeshelwa umsebenzi – uJanet usoloko efuna ukunceda abantu ukuba baphumelele, bazuze iziqinisekiso zemfundo nokufikelela imigangatho ethile, okubenza bakwazi ukuqhubela phambili xa ixesha lilungile kwaye banandiphe impumelelo kwimisebenzi yabo. Le yinto esithanda ukuyenza e-Adelphi kwakhona kwaye yenye yezinto ezininzi ezifana ngazo ezi nkampani zimbini. Kwasekuqaleni, olu ibe lubambiswano olugqibeleleyo.

Ndihlala ndikuthanda ukubuyela kwi-LittlePod ukutyelela uJanet kunye neqela. Indawo intle, usebenza kwiyunithi encinci kwaye inemvakalelo yosapho enjalo. Kungaphezulu koko, kunjalo. Ngeemveliso ze-LittlePod ezithunyelwa kwihlabathi liphela, eli lishishini elinzima. Kodwa ayizange ilahlekelwe yiloo ngqiqo, loo mvakalelo okanye loo mbono intle yecawa esezantsi kwegadi. Nokuba ndiza apha ukuze ndifumane ikomityi yekofu kunye nokubambisa okanye nokuba kukufowunelwa kwenkonzo okanye ngumcimbi oza kuqwalaselwa, ukutyelela iLittlePod kuhlala kuyonwabisa kwaye andinakulinda ukubuya kwakhona. Nantsi kwi-LittlePod kunye ne-Adelphi, ukuya kwiminyaka eli-15 ezayo kunye nayo yonke into eyibambele iinkampani zethu!
