About this employer

Based in the UK, we operate from two principle locations and maintain strong links with our local communities. Cradley Heath, in the West Midlands ? the home of UK chain making ? is where it all began. In 1892, we started manufacturing chain products for the agricultural and marine sectors and have emerged to become a global leader in the manufacture of chain harrows. Alnwick, Northumberland, is where we established our lifting division in 1989. From Alnwick, we manufacture and distribute our internationally specified chain sling systems and manual hoisting range. We have expanded several times during the last two decades to meet demand for our internationally recognised HA and WH brands.
