Hiring machinery allows businesses to continue production without immediate bulk financial commitment  27 Jan 2012

When a machine breaks down finding a replacement quickly is often the manufacturer’s priority, at times regardless of price and complete suitability, to avoid interruption to production. However, in this situation hiring machinery is often the best resolve as it allows manufacturers to maintain and concentrate on production without having to make hasty and financially substantial purchasing decisions.

In 2011, English Lakes Ice Cream, one of the country’s finest producers of luxury ice cream and sorbets, faced just this quandary when its filling machine broke and threatened to disrupt its production volumes during a vital period – hire as a short-term resolution or hurriedly purchase a machine outright?

A Christmas message from Paul Crowter  16 Dec 2011

With Christmas nearly upon us, we’d like to take the time to say a big thank you to each and every one of our clients that has supported us, bought our machinery, and utilised our services during a very exciting, eventful and successful year.

2011 saw us expand our offerings and global reach on a number of levels. Not only did we sell, ship and install machinery all around the UK, we also did so in Holland, South Africa, Mexico and as far afield as Australia and New Zealand. We also travelled further than ever before; scouring the globe to ensure that we were able to offer machinery that was constantly of the highest possible standard - more often than not, being as good as new. 

We also established our first international office in India which will now allow us to consistently reach further afield in terms of both buying and selling machines, and ultimately provide a quick and proactive service to each and every one of our clients, no matter where in the world they are located.

I could continue much longer but my point is none of this would have been possible without our loyal and expanding client base. For that, we hope that our services throughout 2011 have not only met your expectations but surpassed them in every way.

From me and the rest of the team here at Machinery World: “have a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year.” 

Paul Crowter
Managing Director

Costly Downtime Easily Avoided with Machinery World’s Specialist Engineering Division  22 Aug 2011

Machinery World, is fast becoming the one-stop-shop for all things machinery related and is now offering both on and off site machinery maintenance and reconditioning services.

Machinery is the backbone to any successful dairy-related business. If it falters, quality and production volumes can be severely hindered which in turn can damage partnerships, relationships and ultimately bottom line profits.

A periodic check-up of machinery can provide many years of trouble-free operation, preventing expensive downtime and potential product contamination issues including the consequential possibility of costly product recalls. Additionally it gives manufacturers peace of mind that their products are continually being produced to the highest possible standards, while ensuring that expensive long-term or even irreversible damage is avoided.

Lease Hire Provides the Starting Blocks for Expansion, Says Machinery World  21 Jun 2011

As a new or expanding business, making a profitable impact in a highly competitive market is always a difficult task, especially when financial constraints are factored in. As a result, Machinery World, is adapting to post recessional industry requirements by offering lease hire services across its range of stock machinery.
Machinery is without doubt the single largest expense when starting or expanding a dairy manufacturing business. It is this large initial outlay and associated risk which is inhibiting entrepreneurial spirit within the industry and causing many small businesses to stay as they are – halting the progression of new business ideas.
Machinery World is, however, now offering rental services across its range of in-stock secondhand machinery as well as the new, premium machinery of its sister company, ROKK, as a means of increasing the available options open to manufacturers within the industry.
