Studley Engineering set to officially open new factory
A Merseyside engineering company which
has gone from strength to strength over the past 32 years is celebrating its
latest success.
Studley Engineering, who are 1 of the region's leading mechanical and electrical
engineering companies, will celebrate the official opening of its new factory on
Knowlsey Industrial Park, on Friday, 20 March 2015, when local MP George Howarth
and the Mayor of Knowsley Cllr Frank Walsh, will help the 200 strong business
look:- "back to the future".
Apprentices have been a growing part of Studley since 1983 and current ones will
be working with some of the company's key suppliers in giving demonstrations of
the company's work in M&E projects and maintenance and shutdown services in the
petro chemical, chemical, pharmaceutical, energy, nuclear, food and drink, paper
and utilities sectors.
At 60,000ft2, the new factory is three times the size of the company's former
premises on Liverpool's Vulcan Street and a far cry from the barn in which the
company was founded by its current management, including technical director Neil
Brierton, himself a former apprentice.
The engineering business was further enhanced with an established electrical
company more than 3 years ago, which provides electrical, control,
instrumentation and maintenance services to the industrial, utilities,
infrastructure, environmental, commercial and health sectors.
Some of the company's staff will show Mr Howarth, Cllr Walsh and customers
around the site, demonstrating training and safety with the help of several
exhibitors. A "Back to the future" DeLorean car, which was coming
to the end of its journey at about the same time as Studley Engineering was just
beginning theirs, will also be on show.
John Hyland, managing director, said:- "We are delighted to be celebrating
this landmark occasion together with our customers and the apprentices who have
helped to make all this possible. This new site will enable the company to
continue to move forward and provide further expansion for all parts of our
business."
