Moving with the times

Posted on September 27, 2011 by admin

After 80 years, Denholm Rees & O’Donnell are outgrowing their 30,000 sq ft premises in the heart of Aintree and the time has come to move.

For those of you who have visited the Aintree site, you will  know that the location, in the centre of a residential area can provide additional land for the development of much-needed housing stock:

For Denholm’s, a move to a dedicated industrial site where everything can be housed under one roof  with room to expand can provide obvious benefits. As an added bonus, the preferred new site is barely 1/2 a mile from the current premises.

In the words of Denholm’s Managing Director Alan Hayes:

“These are exciting times at Denholm, Rees & O’Donnell. Our proposed move to new premises will open up a world of opportunities for the company. There will be a lot to do but, our core focus must, and will, remain on delivering
exceptional service to our customers.“

If you have any questions about the move, or wish to discuss anything else with us, please get in touch.

If you are interested to learn more about the availbility of the exisiting site, please contact our agents Mason Owen

Investing in Staff

Posted on September 14, 2011 by admin

The Denholms management team is committed to investing in their staffAs well as the ongoing commitment to investing in our equipment and software infrastructure, Denholms recognises that the best systems and equipment in the world are rendered useless without an effective, dedicated and qualified team of specialists.

Part of the Denholms mission is to nurture talent from within and a recent example of this strategy is Nick Hayes who joined Denholms as a technical apprentice back in in 2001.

Working with the Production Engineering Manager Ian Hennessey, Nick did a 5 year apprenticeship, completing his National Certificate in Manufacturing Engineering. He continued his education part-time at St Helens College, gaining a HNC then HND in 2007 before going on to John Moores University.

His time at university was crowned with a First Class Honours Degree in Manufacturing Systems Engineering.

 ”It’s been quite a journey since I joined the company ten years ago” says Nick.
“I am extremely grateful for all the training and support Denholm’s have provided.
Without them I don’t believe I would have achieved what I have.”

We are delighted to have someone with the dedication of Nick as part of the team here at Denholm Rees and O’Donnell.

As part of the company commitment to continual improvement, Denholm’s is investing in state of the art CMM (Co-ordinate Measurement Machine) technology from Nikon Metrology.

The system allows Denholm’s to measure finished components with an unrivalled degree of accuracy to ensure that the dimensions of units delivered to customers match exactly with the initial specification.

The new CAMIO Studio Software is an upgrade to the existing system operated by Denholms and has a range of functionality that can handle metrology requirements to extreme precision. Measurement techniques include touch, continuous contact and optical laser probes.
