Celebration of 40 years in business for June Emerson Wind Music

 Good food and good company

Saturday 25th June marked the celebration of 40 years in business for June Emerson Wind Music. A select gathering of staff, ex-staff, friends, family and a few music business colleagues got together for an afternoon in the office, being shown round and meeting the current staff, followed by a really memorable evening party in a marquee in the field outside on our hilltop. It was wonderful to see people who had travelled such a long way, people who’d never visited before and so many old friends who used to work here.

Mid-way through the evening, June made a short speech to thank everyone for coming, followed by a presentation to two members of staff for their many years of hard work and dedication - John Toll, for 30 years as our accountant, and Tracy Battensby, office manager, for her 25 years with the company.

  Party continued through the evening

The evening seemed to be over so quickly and was rounded off with a firework display. A really good time was had by all!

Supplying Sheet Music for Wind Players for 40 years - June Emerson Wind Music's 40th Anniversary

2011 marks the 40th birthday of June Emerson Wind Music!

Having spotted a gap in the market, June started the business with a working capital of £11.23 and no sheet music stock. It has grown gradually over the last 40 years and we now have what is probably the biggest stock of wind music anywhere with over 38,000 titles of music for wind instruments. Catering for everyone from beginners to professionals, we stock everything from exam syllabus repertoire to the obscure pieces that you wouldn't find anywhere else. Ordering from our suppliers at least three times a week and dealing with publishers big and small worldwide, this is probably the only place you'll find such an interesting and diverse selection all under one roof.

None of this would have been possible without a combination of incredibly loyal customers, wonderfully dedicated staff and, of course, the hard work and passion of June Emerson herself.

THANK YOU!!
