Hockey with Grandpa - A special ornament
Rick Hancock is the president of Hancock Management LLC out
of Derry, New Hampshire. Hancock Management provides management consulting services
to commercial as well as government clients. Through systemic analysis and personalized
application of best business processes, Hancock Management solves its’ client's
performance problems. Additionally, the company is a Service Disabled Veteran
Owned Small Business.
Mr. Hancock is not only a veteran and successful business
man, but also a proud grandpa to two girls and a little boy (a future hockey
all-star, of course). The custom-designed ornament captures a moment of grandpa
lacing up his grandson’s skates, while the girls are chatting on the ice, hockey sticks in hand. The back side shows
Mr. Hancock and all three grandchildren participating in a game of hockey on a frozen
pond. If you have seen our Modern Santa ornament, HM197, then you are familiar
with Rick Hancock’s clever ideas, as that was originally a custom ornament made
for Hancock Management.
If you're interested in creating a custom piece for your
company, town, church, or organization, give us a call and we can begin the
design process. We will discuss your idea or help you to develop a concept
which we then send off to our artists and they will give us a detailed sketch
of the ornament, which we send to you for approval. Our process continues with
the design being sculpted out of resin into a 3-D model. Pictures of this sculpted piece then
goes to the customer for review, and once it is approved, we can create our
one-of-a-kind vulcanized rubber mold for the ornament. After the mold is
created, we can begin hand-casting the ornaments with our specialized
centrifugal casting machine. Once the ornaments have cooled to raw solid pieces
of pewter, they are deburred by hand, antiqued to bring out the detailing,
buffed by hand, dusted, inspected, ribboned, and packaged. All in all, our
custom ornament process takes around 6-8 weeks from an idea on paper to a batch
of pewter ornaments in-hand. We can fast track the process for important events
and deadlines, just give us a call at 866-282-7384 to discuss that option.
