Celebrating 50 Years with Kautex, UPA and Hyperbat!

On Monday, 1st July, Kautex Unipart (KUL) marked Unipart's 50th anniversary with a day packed full of activities. The celebration featured a wide array of games that kept everyone engaged, from Jenga and Connect Four to axe throwing and mini golf. The highlight of the event was undoubtedly the human football table championship, which provided endless entertainment and a competitive spirit as teams battled it out to be the overall winner! Attendees also had a blast with the Unipart World Tour game of Higher and Lower, adding a unique twist to the festivities. Bear Street Food Truck was on-site, serving up a variety of delicious dishes that perfectly complemented the lively atmosphere and kept everyone satisfied throughout the day.

The day ended on a high note with the KUL Management Team taking their turn in the stocks to raise money for charity. It was a memorable day celebrating Unipart's milestone, combining fun, food, and community spirit.

Later that week on Thursday 4 July, Unipart Powertrain Applications (UPA) and Hyperbat, also celebrated Unipart's 50th milestone. The event was another great opportunity for the teams to come together and reflect on Unipart's history and achievements. There was also a recognition award ceremony to reflect on the teams hard work and dedication.

The event was capped off with featured outdoor games that kept everyone engaged, from Jenga and axe throwing to bean bag toss. The burger van was enjoyed by all and the sun was shining!

Over this time, we've navigated numerous challenges, continually adapting whilst staying true to our values and long-term vision.
