I felt I could not let the opportunity pass without stating how much I enjoyed reading your "UK Utah Festival 1996" feature, which I found most interesting and informative.
I was particularly interested to learn that 89,000 Utahns claimed Scottish ancestry. Perhaps they too will be surprised to learn that a Scottish company, the Weir Group of Glasgow, is today a major employer in Salt Lake City, having acquired the EnviroTech Pumpsystems manufacturing operation at 440 W. 800 South.Like the Scots, our employees in Salt Lake City have been raised with a strong work ethic and have shown a willingness to join hands and work together to grow our business, and we have been very impressed by the warm reception we have received following the takeover.
It is the efforts of those who work in the group that are the foundations of its continuing success, and a sincere appreciation and thanks are due to all our employees in Salt Lake City. We hope that they will continue to share in our future development for many years to come.
