Harpscreen celebrate 21 years in business.
As the number one producer in the UK of screen media for quarrying and recycling, Harpscreen GB has already got plenty to celebrate, but never more so than this month, when it marks 21 successful years in business.
The industry that Harpscreen GB started out in 2003 is very different from the industry of today. In fact, the organisation itself has played an integral role in the transformation of the sector, growing from a small-scale business working alongside multiple competitors and manufacturers into what it is today – the largest manufacturer of media for screening and recycling consumables.
Before Harpscreen GB came along in its current form, quarry and plant owners and recycling businesses would have to down tools until a particular mesh or part could be ordered, manufactured and delivered, resulting in costly down time and hugely inefficient working methods.
Approaching the issue from the perspective of the client, Harpscreen GB recognised the need to have parts in stock, so they could be ready to go at all times with the result that the end ser could continue production uninterrupted.
Thanks to this unique selling point, Harpscreen GB is now the go-to for clients in the UK and beyond who need a fast turnaround and who want to maximise their uptime.
But don’t just take our word for it… Harry Hughes, mechanical maintenance manager at Torr Works, Aggregates South, talks about the ‘Harpscreen difference’ saying:
“We have been working with Harpscreen for some time now and approached them about the possibility of some cost saving options and they were very accommodating, coming out during weekend shutdown to measure up meaning production was not affected, a real plus for a busy production plant, As a result of working with Harpscreen we have managed to save our spend, allowing more budget for screen media.”
Neil Cook, technical sales consultant, has been with Harpscreen GB since its inception 21 years ago and has witnessed the evolution of the business at first hand. He is delighted the organisation has reached its milestone birthday saying:
“I’ve seen how our commitment to quality and innovation has driven significant growth, establishing us as industry leaders. Our trajectory is clear, and I’m proud to continue playing a key role in shaping the future of this company.”
Lee Bednarczyk is a maintenance engineer with Veolia Ltd and he says Harpscreen GB has a proven track record with them: “Harpscreen have consistently proven to be a reliable and top-notch company. Their products are of excellent quality and their delivery is always on time. Harpscreen’s commitment to customer service and product excellence makes them our go-to supplier. We highly recommend their services.”
Harpscreen GB’s ever-expanding list of satisfied customers is testament to the success of the business with industry big hitters such as Blue Machinery, Aggregate
Processing and Recycling, Sure Equipment, SCG Supplies, McCloskey Equipment and Molson Equipment amongst its impressive clientele.
Customers who come back time and time again to Harpscreen GB cite its emphasis on customer service excellence among its best attributes together with a commitment to high quality products and rapid turnaround time. There just isn’t anyone else in the industry who can do what Harpscreen GB do – hence the strapline: ‘Discover the Harpscreen difference.’
Praise indeed for a business that continues to go from strength to strength and whilst he is keen to celebrate its success, operations director Paul Blanchard isn’t sitting back on his laurels, saying:
“In the 17 years I have been with Harpscreen GB, our team’s dedication to transform not just a business but an entire industry has been amazing.
“Enjoying the highs and lows of growing our turnover from £2m to £7.5m annually has been challenging and rewarding in equal measure. We have demonstrated that hard work and vision builds leaders. We are number one in our field, ready to push on and conquer new markets in Europe, USA and Australia while standing proudly as a British manufacturer.”
