Alfa Laval and Harwill Engineering team up
Alfa Laval Limited, the world’s leading manufacturer of high speed separators, decanter centrifuges, plate heat exchangers and sanitary pumps, valves and fittings, has teamed up with Harwill Engineering Ltd of Rossendale to provide a service to commercial and industrial customers in the North-West.
Established in 1994, Harwill has developed a strong reputation in the heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) markets for expertise in the specialised field of combustion engineering. This involves not only designing and manufacturing but also maintaining boiler plant and other heat source equipment. In recent years, it has focused particularly on the air conditioning market and building facilities management.
The tie-up with Alfa Laval Ltd provides Harwill with another, very specialised string to its bow. As well as being a leading manufacturer of plate heat exchangers, Alfa Laval also has Europe’s largest and best equipped workshops for the highly-skilled job of reconditioning and regasketting plate heat exchangers. It is this facility that Harwill will now be able to offer its customers in the HVAC market.
According to Lynda Hannam, Harwill Engineering’s Sales Director, ” this association will benefit both companies. Harwill will be able to offer our customers state-of-the-art facilities while Alfa Laval will draw on the expertise and experience we have developed in the HVAC market in the North-West.”
Lynda added “We are very excited by the opportunity this liaison gives us all at Harwill, the fact that Alfa Laval a large well known, and prestigious, global company approached Harwill with regard to this agreement brings an added degree of prestige, esteem and good will to our company”.
The new arrangement gives Harwill the substantial opportunity to develop their expertise and support for existing clients as well as the potential to open up new markets. It brings an addition range of complimentary products to Harwill’s already substantial product portfolio, and makes available additional machining facilities.
Harwill, are a company with a fierce pride in their local roots and they will continue to offer a doorstep response to local businesses, built up on their in depth knowledge of local industry. Lynda explains, “The new relationship will give us the ability to offer a smoother and more efficient response to emergency situations and a faster spares turnaround to customer response with 95% of spares on next day delivery.”
The company sees this as an opportunity to expand the operations which are based locally with more back-up, and development of the collection/delivery service. It is anticipated that the new arrangements will lead to the need to increase staff in the near future.
Following several years involvement with the Bolton & Bury and North Manchester Chamber of Commerce, Harwill’s Managing Director, Lynda Hannam has been appointed President of the Great Manchester Chamber of Commerce local Bury council. In addition to her new role Lynda will also sit on the board of directors of the Greater Manchester Chamber which is the largest Chamber of Commerce in the UK with over 7,000 members.
Lynda says
"I will continue to champion the cause for Bury businesses by promoting local, national and global opportunities and ensuring that the voice of our local business community is heard in the right places and at the right level.
It is important that links with associate and supportive bodies are maintained and strengthened through a strong local council, this I will endeavour to achieve.
I believe a buoyant business community is essential to our economic development and will continue striving towards becoming key players not only in the Greater Manchester sub region but also nationally and internationally. Being part of the largest Chamber of Commerce gives us added support thus allowing us access to additional resources and avenues. I will continue to promote and support good business practice to further underpin the positive, innovative and entrepreneurial attitude of the Bury business community".
