Striking gold is a figurative term used to describe a company that has recently earned a breakthrough in their operations. It usually describes out of the world achievements. The phrase “strike gold” originates from mining operations, especially gold mining. It takes in cognizance the challenges involved in mining and the euphoria that follows the success. So based on this fact this article will celebrate two companies who have struck gold.
First on the list is a company that “really” struck gold. For Pvt Exploration Company the phrase “striking gold” is not just figurative but true. They discovered gold ore in 300 acres of land in Mangalagatti.
This company, PVT Exploration Company, has been working on this since 2003. Mangalgatti is a small village having two hills that covers almost 400 acres of land. In order to begin mining, the company had to receive authority from the government. The effect of this mining was very chaotic for the local population; as a small village was soon over run with investors from all over the world.
The other company on the table for celebration comes from a former golf pro. Jon Haveman has been in the golf business for a while, playing as a pro for a golf club in Byron Township, MI. and for Wuskowhan players in port Sheldon. He, however, diverted into business in 2006 and registered a company – Lakeshore Candle Company. The company is primarily in the candle production and selling business, operated from a fifteen thousand square foot plant in Zealand Michigan.
For a man who moved from golf pro to a candle producer, Jon Haveman is sure proving his mettle in business as he certainly struck gold when the company he took over, introduced over three hundred candle fragrances, and expanded into different candle sizes and other product lines bringing in a 30% increase in business, and is hitting sales records in an industry that has greatly suffered in a recession.. It should be noted that Mr. Jon Haveman bought the candle company in 2005 because they were going out of business and it was his wife’s favorite candle.
Jon Haveman’s story might not compare to striking gold in the real sense of the word, but it is actually a story of success, and that is what striking gold is all about – outstanding achievements.
