Luddendenfoot based service engineering company Crescent Machinery are celebrating their 25th year of trading.
They were formed by managing director Steve Jackson in late 1989 to service the needs of the Sheet Metal and Fabricating Industries by maintaining and servicing their production machinery. Over the years the company has built a large customer base throughout the North of England in particular the M62 corridor.
Steve has over thirty years experience within the metal forming industries and sits on the board of the MMMA (Metal Forming Machinery Maker’s Association) the national body for the industry, joining such luminaries within the field as Joseph Rhodes, Schuler and Jones and Attwood Worcester Presses.
Crescent recently doubled their workspace by moving to their 8000 square foot premises in Luddendenfoot, allowing them to equip the new works with a machine shop to re-engineer obsolete parts in house, which can be back engineered by using the latest CAD (Computer Aided Design) systems to produce workshop drawings.
As part of this ongoing advancement Crescent has recently been awarded ISO9001 and OHAS18001certification. Steve attributes this to the hard working team of administrators and the skill base of the Crescent engineers who all continue to receive ongoing on and off the job training.
Steve said, we have (unlike some companies) survived three recessions and this has been by far the worse but we have come out of it leaner and stronger. The larger premises allow us to take on other engineering projects above and beyond our core business such as the refurbishment of fabricating machinery and the supply of new metalworking machinery from within the EC.
