Eleanor Hughes has been appointed full time in the office and with both her experience and enthusiasm she has transformed the administration part of the company which the team has aspired to.

Last year Lance Winkless took over the Research & Development Department and has far exceeded all expectations. With prior manufacturing experience from shopfloor to management level, making sure our customers are serviced beginning to end with 100% satisfaction.

This year we are pleased to announce we have invested in a list of various machinery to aid our swift manufacturing. A new 'Rhodes CNC 200t' press, Erfurt 250t roll-feed progression press run, 100t hydraulic press, 3 x metal spinning lathes, box/pan folder, 2 x TIG welders, semi-automatic rotary welding table and an automotive leak test station to name a few.

The team have had an exciting time working create this web site along with a new fresh image which updated all of our stationery, signage and vehicle graphics which was well planned with the update of our vehicles. We are extremely pleased with the overall finished articles.

Although we have managed to keep busy over the year, the first quarter was a tough one with a down turn in orders due to the start of what seemed to be a recession. We are now in the position that we have never been so busy with enquiries, but at the same time so frustrated with the enquires turning to orders. We now have plenty of secure orders and a steady amount of enquiries coming in from both new and existing customers.

Winward engineering has been built on reputation and loyalty where our team all give 110% to maintain it. We have maintained our Health and Safety records with the constant updating of training, skilled tradesmen and contractors. We always welcome a challenge and work as a pro-active team.
