I’d like to thank our team for their hard work and commitment to engineering excellence, which helps to continually drive us forward.

“We’re proud to be long standing members of NEPIC, which does great work to develop and support the North East’s process industry, and it means a great deal to be recognised by the cluster in this way.

“As a pump manufacturer as well as a distributor, we’re able to bring a manufacturer’s perspective to engineering challenges and for many clients, we act as their pump engineering consultancy, drawing on our problem-solving capabilities to support them.This has been a key reason for our long term success.”

Iain Wright, Chief Executive of NEPIC, said:“The NEPIC awards is an occasion to celebrate the achievements of industry and to showcase the talented firms and individuals who work in this important sector to the region.

“They recognise success in the year past, but what is most gratifying to me is that they point to the future, with firms growing and innovating, investing in young people, being positive players in the local community and embedding even closer links between education and industry.”
