Directors

We’re the team making sure everything moves in the right direction—driving innovation, seeking out the best technology, and ensuring you always get the best solution at the best value. We’re constantly looking ahead, not just for today’s challenges but for the future of food production, so you stay ahead of the game. It’s a group effort, and we’re committed to building a business that supports you for the long haul. That means not only delivering top-tier solutions but also attracting the best talent to work alongside us—because great people make great things happen.

Sales Consultants

We’re the friendly faces (or voices) ready to help when you need us! Whether you’re looking for a full production line or a single machine, we’re here to listen, advise, and find the best solution for you. With backgrounds ranging from butchery to engineering and even full-line automation, we know what we’re talking about — so when you come to us with a challenge, you can trust that we'll solve it for you. Think of us as your personal sat-nav in the world of food processing, but way more charming (we hope). And yes, we’ll be with you long after the sale, because we believe in long-term relationships, not just quick deals.

Product Managers

We’re the problem-solvers and solution-builders, here to make sure you get exactly what your production line needs. With backgrounds in both product management and engineering, we know how to take an idea and prove it—whether it’s something brand new or a refined solution tailored to your operation. We’re at the forefront of innovation, working closely with our suppliers and partners to bring the latest technology to the industry. Our job? To connect you with the right people, identify your needs, and bring together customers and suppliers to create the perfect solution that fits your production line like a glove.

Projects

We’re the masterminds who turn “Great Idea!” into “Done and Dusted.” With years of hands-on experience in engineering—especially in the food industry—we know that delivering the right solution is no small task. It’s one of the most challenging (and rewarding) jobs out there, and we take it personally. We don’t just manage projects; we immerse ourselves in them, understanding every challenge, juggling timelines — all while dovetailing seamlessly with your team to deliver the best solution without disrupting your production. If your project was a movie, we’d be the directors making sure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes… and hopefully with fewer plot twists.

Service Engineering

When it’s time to install, fix, or fine-tune, we’re the ones rolling up our sleeves and getting hands-on. We ensure everything runs like clockwork—no hiccups, no drama. But we don’t stop at just solving the immediate problem. We’re proactive, always striving to find those last few percent of OEE for your line, helping you continuously improve performance. When something’s not quite right, we’re there faster than you can say ‘emergency repair.’ And with our service contracts, you can sleep easy knowing we’ve got your back, keeping things running smoothly so you can focus on what you do best.

Spares and Training

When things go bump in the night (or day), we’ve got the parts to fix it. We work with you to ensure the right parts are stored and ready—whether that’s in our comprehensive UK stock, with our engineers, or with you. We make sure the right parts are securely packed and shipped at the right time, tailored to suit your single shift or 24/7 operations. When it comes to training, we don’t just show you how to use your machines—we offer hands-on training at our demo facilities, providing comprehensive programmes for both engineers and operators. This way, you're fully equipped to care for your machines and prevent any hiccups before they happen.

HR and Finance

We’re the behind-the-scenes heroes making sure everything runs smoothly—think of us as the glue holding it all together (or at least the ones making sure the bills get paid). Whether it’s processing invoices, sorting contracts, or ensuring everyone gets paid on time (a rather crucial task, if we say so ourselves), we keep the business ticking. And if you ever need HR support, a friendly chat, or just an excuse to raid the biscuit tin, we’re always here—just don’t ask us to explain the office printer settings.

Marketing

We’re the ones behind the eye-catching videos, snazzy brochures, and social media posts that make our machines look as good as they perform. We make sure you know exactly who we are, what we offer, and why it matters to you - we’re all about making sure your experience with us is as clear and engaging as possible. We make our solutions look cool, keep you in the loop with industry insights, and prove that even machines can have a personality (even if it involves more puns than strictly necessary).
