Howardson Group, home to market-leading brands Dennis Mowers, Hunter Grinders and SISIS Machinery, officially opened its new purpose-built facility in June, marking a significant milestone in the company’s continued growth and investment.
The new building, located on the original Howardson site in Ashbourne, Derbyshire, will serve as a central hub for office space, warehousing, and cutting-edge training facilities, further solidifying Howardson’s commitment to training, education and customer support within the sector.
The grand opening began with an exclusive press day, offering attendees an absorbing and engaging experience. Trade media were invited to participate in a variety of activities, including archery, rifle shooting and clay shooting, fostering a memorable and interactive environment.
Next day, the official ribbon-cutting ceremony saw managing director Megan Oliver formally inaugurating the impressive new building. Guests were then treated to a tour of the modern facility, showcasing its advanced design and capabilities.
A key highlight of the event was a comprehensive round table discussion featuring the Howardson Group’s senior management team. Megan Oliver, alongside representatives from sales and marketing, engineering and HR, engaged in an insightful dialogue with the press.
Discussions covered a range of pertinent subjects, including future product developments, the company’s enhanced training provisions, broader industry trends and the market perception and pipelined products of the Howardson brands.
“This new building represents a pivotal moment for the Howardson Group,” said Megan. “It is a tangible demonstration of our unwavering commitment to continued investment in infrastructure, equipment, and new products.
“This state-of-the-art facility will not only enhance our operational efficiency but also provide an exceptional environment for our team and customers. We are confident that this investment will future-proof our business for years to come, enabling us to continue leading the way in the industry.”
The new Howardson Group building underscores the company’s dedication to providing top-tier machinery and support to the sector globally, reinforcing its position as an industry leader, she added.
