KNOWSLEY dignitaries officially open
new facility for Studley Engineering and Electrical... Local dignitaries have
paid homage to a Merseyside engineering company have now formally opened its new
factory on Friday, 20 March 2014.
The event at Studley Engineering on Knowsley Industrial Park was attended by the
Rt Hon George Howarth MP, the Mayor of Knowsley Cllr Frank Walsh and the leader
of Knowsley Council Cllr Ron Round.
In unveiling a plaque to commemorate the event, Mr Howarth recognised the
company's commitment to apprenticeships since its formation 32 years ago, the
current technical director Neil Brierton being a former apprentice himself.
As well as visiting exhibition stands from
more than a dozen of Studley's suppliers, the dignitaries also took time out to
admire a "Back to the future" DeLorean car before a buffet lunch
with more than 100 customers, suppliers, staff and apprentices.
During the lunch Neil Brierton explained to the guests that the reason for the
company's success was its philosophy in training and developing young talent,
with more than 60 apprentices being recruited in recent years. Managing director
John Hyland also thanked all who had supported the business over the past 3
decades.
Studley Engineering is 1 of the region's leading mechanical and electrical
engineering companies, specialising in M&E projects, 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 3 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.
The original engineering business was complemented by an 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.
