There has been a run on bunting this week, with royalty officially opening Hayward Tyler Group PLC’s (LON:HAYT) new facility yesterday.
The specialist engineering group’s “fit for nuclear" facility in Luton, which recently underwent a multi-million pound refurbishment to support the group’s long-term growth plans, was officially opened by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
The Centre of Excellence is now the world's most advanced facility for specialist fluid-filled motor manufacturing, the electric motors and pumps specialist said.
The Duke and Duchess also made the presentation of the Queen's Award for Enterprise to Ewan Lloyd-Baker, the chief executive of the Hayward Tyler Group. The Queen's Awards for Enterprise are the most prestigious accolades for businesses in the United Kingdom.
“It was a great pleasure to host the Duke and Duchess to officially open the facility and also to present us with the Queen's Award, an award that demonstrates the significant progress the Hayward Tyler Group has made, and will continue to make, with the help of everyone at the company," Lloyd-Baker said.
“We were proud to showcase the new facility to our strategic partners and loyal customers who will benefit from our enhanced capabilities,” he added.
