An occasional customer called us recently to make an enquiry in relation to the replacement of an electrical component for one of our compressors (well out of warranty, we might add at this stage). The problem was, at this particular building in the Canary Wharf area of London, that over time there appeared to be much confusion at their end …

Today marks the 350th anniversary of the Great Fire of London. On 2nd September 1666 a small fire started at Thomas Farriner’s bakery on Pudding Lane just after midnight. The small fire soon turned into a catastrophic blaze, destroying the homes of 70,000 of the City’s 80,000 inhabitants. No one could have ever imagined a worse day for the City …

Our MD, Rob Bell, attended the 2016 BAFSA Challenge at Mottram Hall, Cheshire on Thursday 23rd June after an invitation from Grundfos. Rob and fellow BAFSA team members took part in a series of (supposedly!) fun team-building & networking events with the day ending in a barbeque and presentation.
