A manufacturing firm’s transformation programme has earned recognition from an engineering superstar.
Hayward Tyler, in Kimpton Road, Luton, has received a Certificate of Achievement from Rolls Royce’s Nuclear Quality Improvements Awards programme.
Hayward Tyler has been designing and supplying nuclear related applications in the UK and Scandinavia since the building of the first civil nuclear power station in 1956.
The company has also been seeing a “strong momentum” in new orders. New orders booked from April 1 to June 30 were 42 per cent ahead of the same period last year, at £13.9 million.
These include, as a result of closer collaboration between its North American and Chinese operations, its first order for several mission critical canned motor pumps for use in the chemical manufacturing industry in the people’s republic.
Ewan Lloyd-Baker, Hayward Tyler’s chief executive, said: “We are encouraged that the momentum in the business that we demonstrated in the final quarter of the 15 month period ending March 31 has continued into the current financial year. This is allowing us to reach strategically into complementary markets whilst maintaining growth in our core sectors, and is enabling us to continue to invest in our long-term talent pool through Hayward Tyler’s graduate recruitment and apprenticeship initiatives.
“We are encouraged with the progress being made by the group which gives us confidence in meeting our expectations for the current financial year.”
