      <description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We are pleased to announce that at the beginning of
April we opened our 40th Hayley branch. Our latest contribution is located in
beautiful Poole in Dorset so it comes handy to our customers from the South of
England. The branch is open on Mondays to
Fridays, from 8 am to 5 pm.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Even though the branch has been open only for a few
weeks, the Poole team has settled in well and their customers keep them busy
already. The branch provides the same support as any other Hayley branch,
offering an on-site trade counter holding a wide range of products, which
guarantees immediate accessibility. The trade counter is open the full working
week and there is no lack of parking capacities. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;We would like to
welcome the new Poole team and wish their branch good luck and many happy
customers!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you would like to contact Hayley Poole, feel
free to send them an email to poole@hayley-group.co.uk or alternatively call
them on 01202 666 611. In case you would like
to visit, their full address is: Unit 1 Nuffield Trade Centre, Nuffield Road,
Dorset, BH17 07UF. The Poole team are looking forward to seeing you!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Descours &amp;amp; Cabaud achieves a historic milestone in its international expansion strategy by acquiring a 50% stake in Hayley Group Limited in the United Kingdom&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks to this acquisition, Descours &amp;amp; Cabaud now covers 14 countries and thus enters the small circle of MRO B-to-B distributors able to operate over the entire European market.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Leader in wholesale distribution in France and a major player in Europe, Descours &amp;amp; Cabaud has acquired a 50% stake in Hayley Group, one of the leading MRO distributors in the UK.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This acquisition provides Descours &amp;amp; Cabaud with its first ever operation in the UK and is totally in line with the external growth strategy the Group launched two years ago.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Since 2014, Descours &amp;amp; Cabaud has greatly expanded its presence in Europe, particularly in the Netherlands with the integration of the companies Wiek de Laat Security, Kroon and Nomag; in Northern Italy where it has acquired CCRE; in Germany and Austria, where it acquired earlier this year the companies Rala and Steyr-Werner and most recently in Spain, with the companies Helios Dica and Bou.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In total, eight European companies have joined the Group in the last two years.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hayley, a major player in the UK&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Created in 1976, Hayley services all sectors of industry and has developed a great expertise in the Rail, food and beverage, aggregate &amp;amp; cement, utilities, agricultural and engineering sectors.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Hayley offers a comprehensive range of MRO products for industrial maintenance bearings, power transmission, sealing products, tools, personal protective equipment, and fluid power.

Beyond profitability and complementary skills, we are looking for partnerships with entrepreneurs who share the same values of excellence, technical expertise and customer focus as our Group. We pay special attention to the culture of the company, its people and its core skills. The key objective is to pool our resources together to better serve our clients. Hayley fits perfectly these demanding criteria and will make a huge contribution to our European ambitions, concludes Alain Morvand, CEO of Descours &amp;amp; Cabaud.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;*MRO = Maintenance, Repair and Operations&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;ABOUT DESCOURS &amp;amp; CABAUD&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Wholesale distributor for industry and construction&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/b&gt;With the largest offer on the market, Descours &amp;amp; Cabaud is in daily contact with its 450,000 customers in the building, industry and the public or private tertiary sectors.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The leading wholesale distributor in France and a major European player, Descours &amp;amp; Cabauds expertise has developed over the 234 years it has been in business.

      <title>Hayley Bearing Solutions Publish Issue 1 of First for Bearings</title>

      <description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.hayley-group.co.uk/divisions/hayley-bearing-solutions/&quot;&gt;Hayley Bearing Solutions&lt;/a&gt;, the specialist bearing support team within Hayley Group, have published issue one of their brand-new First for Bearings magazine. The name making direct reference to Hayley Group being the primary bearing distributor in the UK.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The publication is the first in a series which will focus on the role of bearings, and the operational issues they face within a particular industry sector. It will also include the very latest product innovations from the world&amp;rsquo;s largest bearing manufacturers. The latter section of the magazine highlights the key technologies available to our customers, and emphasises how working with Hayley Group can really help to provide solutions and drive innovation. Issue one focuses on the ever-growing food and beverage sector and the specific bearing challenges and innovations relevant to the industry.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The initial First for Bearings magazine also includes a select few examples where Hayley Group have successfully worked with companies in the food sector to improve reliability, increase efficiency, and save money. We also put the spotlight on Wil Woodrow, based at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.hayley-group.co.uk/branches/hayley-kings-lynn/&quot;&gt;Hayley King&amp;rsquo;s Lynn&lt;/a&gt;, who tells us his stories about providing Bearing Solutions to customers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Steve Onions, Hayley Bearing Solutions Support Team Manager said, &amp;ldquo;We are really proud to be able to launch the first edition of our First for Bearings magazine to the branch network and to end-users across the country. The food and beverage industry is the UK&amp;rsquo;s largest manufacturing sector, and is worth an annual &amp;pound;28bn to our economy, so it is fitting that we give it some focus in our first publication. We hope that it provides people with a reference for how Hayley Group can assist businesses when it comes to bearings performing a vital role in critical food and drink applications.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;First for Bearings is available from Thursday (4th March) at your &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.hayley-group.co.uk/branch-finder/&quot;&gt;nearest Hayley Group branch&lt;/a&gt;, or as a digital download from the Hayley Group website.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Built Around Industry: Celebrating 50 Years of HAYLEY DEXIS</title>
      <pubDate>15/05/2026</pubDate>

      <link>https://watlyengineering.co.uk/news/built-around-industry-celebrating-50-years-of-hayley-dexis?subdomain=hayleygroup</link>
      <author>HAYLEY DEXIS</author>
      <description><![CDATA[&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;By Ilona Pitt, Made in Group&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;Fifty Years in the Business of Keeping Things Moving&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;Fifty years is a long time in British industry.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;Long enough to see factories modernise, supply chains stretch across the world, technologies come and go, and customer expectations change completely.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;Yet some things remain stubbornly constant.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;A machine still stops when a bearing fails. A production line still waits when the right component is missing. A maintenance engineer still needs someone at the other end of the phone who understands the urgency.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;For HAYLEY DEXIS, &lt;strong&gt;celebrating 50 years in business &lt;/strong&gt;is not simply a milestone. It is a reflection of a company that has spent half a century building itself around the practical realities of industry.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;Behind the Scenes, Where It Matters&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;During a recent Made in the Midlands factory tour of HAYLEY 247 DEXIS, members saw that reality up close. There was no theatre to the operation - just pace, organisation and purpose.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;Stock moved through the building. Orders travelled across systems. Teams worked through customer requests with the quiet confidence of people used to urgency.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;It was a reminder that industrial supply is not just about what sits on the shelf. It is about what happens when a customer needs it immediately.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;HAYLEY 247 DEXIS exists in that space between problem and production - the place where speed, stock, technical knowledge and trust all come together.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot; src=&quot;https://madeingroup.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/storage/uploads/wysiwyg/2026/05/14/madeinmidlandsHayley0302_1.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; height=&quot;333&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Made in Group members arriving at HAYLEY 247 DEXIS for a behind-the-scenes factory tour exploring the operation behind company&#039;s industrial support network.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;Built on More Than Scale&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;From its &lt;strong&gt;Midlands roots in 1976&lt;/strong&gt;, HAYLEY DEXIS has grown into a national &lt;strong&gt;industrial supply and engineering services business&lt;/strong&gt;, supporting manufacturers across sectors including food production, quarrying, utilities, agriculture, logistics and engineering.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;But scale alone does not explain longevity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;A business does not last 50 years simply because it gets bigger. It lasts because customers keep finding reasons to rely on it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;With a network of &lt;strong&gt;more than 50 branches and over 1300 employees&lt;/strong&gt;, HAYLEY DEXIS has maintained a local presence while continuing to grow nationally - keeping technical knowledge and customer relationships close to the industries it serves.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;To the outside world, a component may look small. Inside a factory, it can be the difference between a line &lt;em&gt;running&lt;/em&gt; and a line &lt;em&gt;standing still.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot; src=&quot;https://madeingroup.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/storage/uploads/wysiwyg/2026/05/15/1778063401265_1.jpeg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; height=&quot;500&quot;&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;Incorporated as Hayley Bearings Limited on 6th May 1976, the business began from a small High Street shop in Blackheath, West Midlands&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;The Strength of Local Knowledge&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;One of HAYLEY DEXIS&amp;rsquo; defining strengths is the way it combines national capability with local understanding.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;Different regions have different industries, different pressures and different expectations. A branch serving automotive manufacturers in the Midlands may not face the same demands as one supporting quarries, dairies or food producers in the South West.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;That ability to adapt locally has helped the company remain close to the customers it serves, even as the wider business has grown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;It also reflects something deeper: HAYLEY DEXIS has not built its success by moving further away from industry, but by &lt;em&gt;staying close to it.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot; src=&quot;https://madeingroup.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/storage/uploads/wysiwyg/2026/05/13/madeinmidlandsHayley0312.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; height=&quot;334&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Adrian Easter, Group Strategic Contracts Director, Adam Bacciocchi, Group Strategic Contracts Manager, Andrew Farrington, MRO Sales, and Sam Noakes, General Manager, pictured during the Made in the Midlands Factory Tour at HAYLEY 247 DEXIS.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;The Next Chapter&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;The company&amp;rsquo;s evolution now reaches beyond traditional supply.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Training, technical services, inventory management and engineering support&lt;/strong&gt; have become increasingly important as manufacturers look for partners who can help them improve capability, reduce downtime and strengthen resilience.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;That shift says something about where industry is heading.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;Customers no longer need suppliers who simply process orders. They need partners who understand their operations, anticipate challenges and help them build better systems around the work they do.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;After 50 years, HAYLEY DEXIS appears to be doing exactly what long-standing industrial businesses must do: &lt;em&gt;honouring the principles that built the company while continuing to evolve around the needs of modern manufacturing.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;Still Built Around Industry&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;Anniversaries often look backwards. This one feels more like a reminder of what still matters. Stock matters. Speed matters. Technical knowledge matters. Relationships matter.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;But above all, &lt;em&gt;usefulness matters&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;For half a century, HAYLEY DEXIS has remained &lt;em&gt;useful&lt;/em&gt; to British industry - not in a distant or abstract way, but in the &lt;em&gt;daily, practical, often unseen moments that keep businesses running.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And that may be the real story of 50 years. Not just growth or legacy. But staying close enough to industry to keep moving with it.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot; src=&quot;https://madeingroup.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/storage/uploads/wysiwyg/2026/05/13/DSC08138 (1) Large_1.jpeg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; height=&quot;333&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Celebrating 50 years of HAYLEY DEXIS at the company&amp;rsquo;s Anniversary Awards Evening - a proud moment for the people behind half a century of keeping industry moving.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[&lt;h5&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s1&quot;&gt;Hayley Group, one of the UK&amp;rsquo;s leading industrial supply specialists officially opened its Leeds Bradford branch on the 2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s2&quot;&gt;&lt;sup&gt;nd&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s1&quot;&gt; September 2019.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s1&quot;&gt;The 5,700 sq. ft. branch occupies two units on the newly-developed Newhall Nano Park, located off Newhall Way, Bradford. The site is built on the grounds of a former golf course and has been constructed with Yorkshire stone to keep in tune with the local architecture. Hayley Leeds Bradford is a two-minute drive from the M606 spur off the M62 motorway, connecting the branch to the major West Yorkshire transportation arteries. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s1&quot;&gt;Unit 1 houses a trade counter containing leading-brand consumables such as lubricants, PPE and tools, with two floors of warehousing covering bearings, chain, sprockets, pulleys, through to hydraulic and pneumatic fittings. Unit 2 has been utilised for the bulk storage of motors, geared drives, torque arms and provides capacity for workshop facilities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s1&quot;&gt;Established in 1976, Hayley Group is one the UK&amp;rsquo;s largest value-added suppliers of leading-brand engineering components, consumables, and related support services that enable customers to maintain operations, strive for operational efficiencies and improve the safety of personnel.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot; src=&quot;https://madeingroup.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/storage/uploads/wysiwyg/2019/10/09/rsz_1rsz_leeds_bradford_opening.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;513&quot; height=&quot;385&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s1&quot;&gt;Hayley Leeds Bradford is the newest addition to Hayley Group&amp;rsquo;s expanding branch network and is being headed up and staffed by an extremely capable team, having a total of 142 years&amp;rsquo; experience working within the maintenance, repair and overhaul sector. Having worked extensively with engineering, maintenance and stores professionals across West Yorkshire for many decades, the Leeds Bradford team has acquired a wealth of product and service knowledge required to meet the diverse demands of industries operating within the region.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s1&quot;&gt;The Hayley Leeds Bradford team have the full backing of Hayley Group&amp;rsquo;s national specialist product support teams, dedicated specialists for mechanical and electrical drives, pumps, hydraulics and pneumatics, condition-based monitoring, lubrication, industrial vending, stores management through to e-business. In addition, the branch has access to local technical support teams for all the major supply partners. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s1&quot;&gt;Where major competitors have relocated and reduced their branch network in recent years, Hayley Group has sought to expand its branch network, bringing products, technical expertise and services closer to the customer under its Stock | Service | People philosophy.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s1&quot;&gt;David Williams-Berry, the regional manager stated: &amp;ldquo;We have assembled a fantastic team here at Leeds Bradford. With access to an impressive level of local stock and additional technical support, we have a really strong proposition, bringing something new to the West Yorkshire region.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s1&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The reception of the new branch has been really positive, placing Branch Manager Tony Williams in a position where he and the team can move forward into 2020 with real confidence.&amp;rdquo; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s1&quot;&gt;All those that are interested in taking a look around the branch are urged to contact the team, or simply come along to the trade counter. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Exeter-based branch of Hayley, one of the UK&amp;rsquo;s foremost providers of engineering products and services to industry, has moved into newly-built premises on Matford Business Park to the South of the city centre. Lord Mayor of Exeter, Councillor Kevin Mitchell, will attend an official opening ceremony on Thursday 9th November.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hayley Group, which is part of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.dexis.eu/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;DEXIS Europe&lt;/a&gt;, the industrial arm of multi-billion-Euro distributor&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.descours-cabaud.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;Descours &amp;amp; Cabaud&lt;/a&gt;, prides itself on its healthy local stockholding at upwards of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.hayley-group.co.uk/branch-finder/&quot;&gt;fifty locations&lt;/a&gt;, ensuring customers are supported with the goods they require, wherever they are in the UK. The moving of the Hayley Exeter team into the new premises represents an investment in a larger unit and is a strong declaration of support for Hayley&amp;rsquo;s customers in Devon and the wider South West region.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hayley Exeter&amp;rsquo;s new 13,360 sq. ft. premises is comprised of warehousing, offices, a dedicated trade counter, and a showroom. The larger office space will enable the team to expand as desired, with a view to doubling the number of staff employed in the coming years, further enhancing the support provided by Hayley Exeter to its customers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The brand-new warehouse will house products from across Hayley Group&amp;rsquo;s diverse portfolio including&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.hayley-group.co.uk/products/bearings/&quot;&gt;Bearings&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.hayley-group.co.uk/products/fluid-power/&quot;&gt;Fluid Power&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.hayley-group.co.uk/products/power-transmission/&quot;&gt;Power Transmission&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.hayley-group.co.uk/products/tools/&quot;&gt;Tools&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.hayley-group.co.uk/products/lubricants/&quot;&gt;Lubricants&lt;/a&gt;, and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.hayley-group.co.uk/products/ppe/&quot;&gt;PPE&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The site will also host a specialist gearbox assembly facility, differentiating it from what was achievable at Hayley Exeter&amp;rsquo;s previous location. This additional facility will enable Hayley Exeter&amp;rsquo;s customers to benefit from same and next-day delivery on custom assemblies of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.hayley-group.co.uk/products/drives/&quot;&gt;leading-brand industrial gearboxes&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hayley Exeter&amp;rsquo;s new building has also been delivered to&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bregroup.com/products/breeam/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;a standard of BREEAM&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;lsquo;Very Good&amp;rsquo;, which represents sustainability performance in the top 25% of UK new non-domestic buildings. BREEAM is the world&amp;rsquo;s leading science-based sustainability assessment scheme for the built environment. The scheme motivates sustainable design and construction and has been applied to this project across a broad spectrum of sustainability issues. These include the management of the building, health and wellbeing, energy, transport, water, materials, waste, land-use, ecology and pollution. Features such as the following have been incorporated into the building: a building fabric that minimises heating and cooling demand, efficient lighting and sanitaryware, cyclist facilities that reduce the reliance on car transport, and photovoltaic panels on the roof which are already demonstrating financial return for the business.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Give the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.hayley-group.co.uk/branches/hayley-exeter/&quot;&gt;Hayley Exeter team&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;a call on 01392 823 180 or email; exeter@hayley-group.co.uk.

      <description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The dedicated&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.hayley-group.co.uk/divisions/industrial-vending-solutions/&quot;&gt;industrial vending solutions team&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;at Hayley Group has recently overhauled its technology portfolio. Established for almost a decade, the team has overseen hundreds of successful installations of&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.hayley-group.co.uk/services/industrial-vending-solutions-smartvend/&quot;&gt;Hayley SmartVend&amp;trade; machines&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;at customer&amp;rsquo;s sites, right across the UK. The machines have enabled businesses to reduce inventory, improve productivity and efficiency, and gain valuable insight into the usage behaviours and expenditure associated with their stocks of tools, consumables, and PPE.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The brand-new range of machines comes as part of a newly-strengthened partnership with a UK-based technical partner. Customers can therefore be safe in the knowledge that they are supporting British manufacturing at this vital time. The partnership will allow Hayley SmartVend&amp;trade; to keep pace with the continually diversifying industrial vending market. As a result of the refresh of the Hayley SmartVend&amp;trade; offering, customers will be provided with enhanced technical and service support capabilities, while legacy machines will retain complete end-to-end support.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Powered by VEPO Connect&amp;trade; technology, Hayley SmartVend&amp;trade; will deliver cloud-based connectivity, further amplifying the positive impact that the solutions are able to have on the day-to-day operations of customers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Craig Melia, National Vending Manager for Hayley Group said, &amp;ldquo;the new technology comes at a time of unprecedented levels of investment in facilities and the recruitment of specialist vending personnel. We are confident that the product overhaul facilitated by our UK-based technical partner will enable us to provide customers looking to reduce costs and time wastage, with a really strong offer.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Those who are interested in looking at the possibilities around implementing SmartVend&amp;trade; industrial vending solutions within their business are urged to contact their local Hayley Group branch.

      <author>HAYLEY DEXIS</author>
      <description><![CDATA[&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;In a recent sit-down at Hayley Group&#039;s Halesowen facility, Jason Pitt of The Made in Group met with Adrian Easter, the new national contracts director of Hayley Group. Adrian, a former mechanical engineering apprentice hailing from Norfolk, is taking over from John Holden as the national accounts director. With a rich history of supporting the branch network and strategic accounts, Adrian is poised to help Hayley Group through its next stage of growth.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Challenges in UK Manufacturing&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;When asked about the state of UK manufacturing, Adrian was candid. &quot;The challenges for the UK lie in attracting the right companies and the government making decisions on the level of support they&#039;ll offer to bring those companies into the UK,&quot; he explained. &quot;We need to understand what we&#039;re good at, where our skill base exists, and what would make us attractive in various regions of the UK.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;Adrian highlighted the workforce&#039;s importance, stating, &quot;It&#039;s crucial to think about what our workforce currently has and what would make us attractive. We need to train people and bring them through, which is a significant challenge given the gap left when apprenticeships stopped back in the eighties.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Expanding the Branch Network&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;Adrian also touched on Hayley Group&#039;s growth plans. &quot;We will continue to expand our branch network, which means we need more people. Attracting the right personnel is our biggest challenge right now,&quot; he said. Reflecting on the impact of past practices, he noted, &quot;The apprenticeship programs from the eighties provided a pool of engineers who are no longer available. We now need to train new people to fill that gap.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Maintaining Company Values&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;One of the key points Adrian emphasised was maintaining the company&#039;s identity and values during its growth and transition. &quot;It&#039;s important to embody the values of Hayley. This business is more than just a company; it&#039;s an emotional attachment for many of us. Maintaining our identity and values while ensuring our philosophy remains intact is crucial,&quot; he stressed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;Sam Noakes, who also attended the meeting, added, &quot;We have some of the best people in the industry, but there&#039;s a shortage of exceptionally good people. It&#039;s about manufacturing our own talent long term and ensuring they embody the values that Bernie and Lee built this company on.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rebranding and Training Initiatives&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;Discussing recent developments, Adrian mentioned, &quot;We&#039;re rebranding, with the process starting now and culminating in spring 2025.&quot; Addressing the challenges around people, he noted, &quot;We&#039;re using the apprenticeship levy as much as possible to bring apprentices through in all aspects of the business. The Hayley Academy has been rebranded as the Hayley Inspire program, targeting various roles within the company to identify gaps and needs for the future.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Productivity and Innovation&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;On the topic of productivity and innovation, Adrian highlighted Hayley Group&#039;s unique approach. &quot;Everything we do is about value for the customer. Our Track-Up program records the value we bring to our customers, not just by selling a product but by providing solutions. We utilise cutting-edge technologies and share best practices across the industry,&quot; he explained.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sustainability Efforts&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;When it comes to sustainability, Adrian shared significant milestones. &quot;This year, we have achieved carbon neutrality. It&#039;s challenging in distribution, but we&#039;re looking at reducing our packaging, using more electric vehicles, and building sustainably with solar panels and grey water systems,&quot; he said. However, he acknowledged the difficulties, stating, &quot;Achieving net zero is tough because most carbon emissions come from our suppliers and manufacturers.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Looking Ahead&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;Adrian also touched on future fuels and the debate surrounding them. &quot;Hydrogen is a future tech that should be applauded. The generation process is currently dirty, but it will remain so if we don&#039;t focus on improving it,&quot; he said, referencing the work of companies like JCB.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Benchmarking and Innovation&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;When asked about benchmarking against other companies, Adrian had a clear stance. &quot;I don&#039;t believe in benchmarking us against our competition. There&#039;s a danger of following them instead of innovating. We should look to use new technologies and adapt them to our business,&quot; he said. Sam Noakes agreed, adding, &quot;In distribution, you don&#039;t often see graduates stepping straight into high-level roles. Understanding the business first is crucial.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Human Touch and AI&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;Adrian also emphasised the importance of human interaction, a lesson underscored by the pandemic. &quot;The need for human interaction is essential. The pandemic showed us that isolation isn&#039;t good for people. Our customers wanted to see us and have face-to-face interactions, which drove business,&quot; he noted.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;On the topic of artificial intelligence, Adrian mentioned ongoing projects. &quot;We&#039;re involved with local universities on AI programs, which will help us and our customers. We&#039;re a long way down the road with AI, but it&#039;s not ready to be released yet,&quot; he said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Backing Britain and Personal Advice&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;Adrian concluded the interview by reflecting on the importance of supporting UK manufacturing. &quot;Backing Britain means protecting our business long-term. As long as manufacturing remains and grows in the UK, we&#039;ll have employment, security, and opportunities for new businesses,&quot; he stated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;When asked about the best piece of advice he&#039;s ever received, Adrian shared wisdom from his past. &quot;Bernie Noakes once told me about &#039;light touch management.&#039; It&#039;s about setting parameters and guiding people gently. It&#039;s a non-confrontational way to keep people on the right path,&quot; he recalled.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Community and Collaboration&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;Adrian also stressed the value of community and collaboration. &quot;Engaging with others and understanding their challenges helps avoid ignorance. You can&#039;t grow your business or life in isolation; integration is key,&quot; he said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;In a final note, Sam Noakes reflected on the role of social networks in business. &quot;Networking is essential. We don&#039;t just benefit from our customers but from engaging with other companies and learning from them,&quot; he said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;In this comprehensive discussion, Adrian Easter and his colleagues at Hayley Group outlined a clear vision for the future, emphasising growth, maintaining core values, and embracing innovation while navigating the challenges of a changing industry landscape.&lt;/p&gt;]]></description>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;The firm, a specialist engineering products supplier, has recently taken on new employees and it 20 staff had outgrown its former premises.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;It has relocated the short distance to a 14,400 sq ft unit on the Forge Trading Estate in Halesowen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;The new facility, which is complete with a trade counter, will provide the company with the flexibility for further expansion.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;John W Jones, director at Hayley Fluid Power, said: &amp;ldquo;We have recently increased staff numbers which is why there was a necessity to move, and we definitely see a need for further recruitment once we have moved.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Hayley Fluid Power have had meteoric growth supporting Hayley Group&amp;rsquo;s 44 branches, who are actively growing their business. Our mantra is &amp;lsquo;stock, service, people&amp;rsquo;, and adopting this approach has enabled our local branches to offer unparalleled levels of service.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Hayley Fluid Power&amp;rsquo;s new premises will house offices, stores and hydraulic hose production facilities along with a quality control function and a pneumatic control panel build facility.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;The expanding division is part of the &amp;pound;110m-turnover Hayley Group, distributing hydraulic and pneumatic components, as well as providing related products and services.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;The relocation deal was arranged by Black Country commercial property agents Bulleys and means the Forge Trading Estate is now full.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Max Shelley, an associate at Bulleys, said: &amp;ldquo;We&amp;rsquo;re pleased to have found the right property for Hayley Fluid Power to relocate to, and the improved facilities are just right for the company&amp;rsquo;s ongoing growth.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;HALESOWEN, UK - &lt;b&gt;Hayley Group PLC, the UKs largest
independent engineering inventory supplier, announces the 40&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;
anniversary of the companys founding, and the launch of the new corporate
website to support its brand identity in its fifth decade. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The company was established on 6&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; May
1976 by joint managing directors Lee Willitts and Bernie Noakes who have
remained in their functions up to date. The company initially based in
Blackheath, West Midlands was operating under the name Hayley Bearings Ltd, and
as the name implies, it supplied bearings only. As the company was expanding
its product range and services, the name was changed to Hayley Group PLC in
1992.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In 1989, still as Hayley Bearings Ltd, the next
branch in South Kirkby, West Yorkshire was opened under the name Hayley
Northern. Since established, Hayley Group PLC has achieved four decades of
steady growth to become the largest UKs independent engineering inventory
supplier. Today the company prides itself on 40 branches across the UK. Its
only branch abroad is located in the Czech Republic and it was established to
provide closer support to their clients in Central Europe. As the branches have
been growing, so was the number of their employees  since 2008 they more than
doubled from 300 to over 600 staff.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Today, Hayley Group PLC is on the doorstep of the
fifth decade of its existence as a company recognised across most industries in
the UK. In order to enhance its corporate image and provide true representation
of their current offerings, the company has just
launched their &lt;span&gt;newly developed website that
features enhanced usability and responsive design. The websites easy
navigation and enhanced approachability reflect the Hayley Groups determination
to remain responsive to their customers demands, and keep providing added
value in the following decade.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To see how Hayley Group&#039;s been growing, have a look at their &lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.hayley-group.co.uk/timeline.html&quot;&gt;Timeline&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt; introducing the key Hayley moments throughout the last 40 years!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hayley Fluid Power the dedicated fluid power sales and
technical support team of Hayley Group, one of the UKs leading industrial
supply specialists is set to exhibit at Fluid Power &amp;amp; Systems, NEC
Birmingham, 10&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;  12&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; April 2018, Stand AF1010. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The three-day industrial event will see technical experts
from Hayley Fluid Power alongside other leading names within the fluid power
industry, covering hydraulics, pneumatics, filtration and process equipment. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In recent years Hayley Fluid Power has seen significant
investment within technical staff and value-added services development, such as
custom hose assembly facilities, leak detection and custom panel build and
design. Coupled with a service orientated approach this has paid dividends,
seeing the dedicated teams customer-base develop rapidly throughout Hayley
Groups 40-plus strong branch network. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The unprecedented growth of Hayley Fluid Power has enabled
Hayley Group to emerge as a significant player within the fluid power industry,
holding direct supply agreements with many of the Worlds leading fluid power
brands. Leveraging both stock and expertise to become a real single-source
solution for maintenance professionals and those that operate within the trade.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The specialist team is set to use the Fluid Power &amp;amp;
Systems exhibition as a vehicle to showcase their latest in-house technical
innovations, specifically surrounding its ground-breaking compressed air
reclamation devices. Commercially proven new to market technology that has the
ability to offer significant cost-savings to those that rely on compressed air
within their operations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To accompany these innovative devices Hayley Fluid Power
will be using the event to launch a new range of high-quality hydraulic hoses
and fittings, which have a proven track record for both reliability and
performance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;John
Jones Hayley Groups Fluid Power Director stated, I strongly believe that
Fluid Power &amp;amp; Systems 2018 is an ideal opportunity to showcase our
innovations, stock availability and technical expertise to the industry. We
look forward to meeting many of our customers and those within the trade over
the three days.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;]]></description>

As part of the quality measures put in place, Hayley Bespoke Components are able to supply supporting documentation, including ISIR, PPAP and IMDS, giving full reassurance to customers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The move from the Hayley Group headquarters in Halesowen will enable the team to expand in terms of personnel and to complement their core capabilities with access to purpose-built facilities, such as a dedicated quality management room.&lt;/p&gt;

By bringing the quality management capabilities in-house, we have taken full responsibility for the quality of all products leaving our facility. Customers can now be assured that their products have been subjected to stringent checks, and are therefore up to the high standards that we want to be associated with.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Importance of Fitted Women's PPE</title>

      <description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&#039;&lt;i&gt;Over the past 12 months Hayley Rail has been working closely with major rail operators to find out what women&#039;s PPE is available in today&#039;s market, and to raise awareness to manufacturers about the importance of ladies PPE within the marketplace&lt;/i&gt;.&#039; Mark Hammond, Manager at Hayley Group PLC, explains. &#039;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.45em;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Our research revealed that this task is a lot more complex than we first thought. When it comes to ladies PPE, &#039;unisex&#039; seems to be the buzzword&lt;/i&gt;.&#039;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.45em;&quot;&gt;Some items can fit into a unisex category; for example, over trousers usually include garments that are easily fitted, as they are intended to be baggy and oversized, so it is generally easy to find the correct fit. It is common sense that tells us if the PPE doesn&#039;t fit, then it probably isn&#039;t performing or giving the correct level of protection to the standard specified.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.45em;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hand and head protection&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.45em;&quot;&gt;If gloves don&#039;t fit correctly, they can make you clumsy, which can affect how efficiently you perform. Likewise, if you are wearing a helmet that is too big, this could compromise your balance and increase the risk of trips and slips through having to use one hand to hold your helmet on.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.45em;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Working at heights&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fall arrest equipment shouldn&#039;t fall into a unisex category. The difference between men&#039;s and women&#039;s chest, hips and thighs could affect the angle that the straps fit into a harness.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Footwear&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We often hear that women are routinely wearing two pairs of socks in order to fit into the shoes they have been given. Men and women have different shoe lasts because of the different widths, depths and insteps. The word &#039;universal&#039; often gets batted around, but half sizes and women&#039;s lasts are now available from us.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Universal PPE and one-size-fits-all is no longer acceptable. At Hayley, we have ladies specific PPE available, including foul weather jacket, hi-vis trousers, smaller fitting eyewear and boots, all of which have been a great success in trials.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We continually challenge our PPE supply base, which consists of all the world leading manufacturers and recognised brands. We constantly reaffirm the message that there is a gap in the market for women&#039;s PPE. Over the next 12 months, Hayley&#039;s Rail division will be working with key manufacturers and suppliers to bring a women&#039;s PPE range to our key customers, recognising the importance for the user to have the correct PPE available to ensure the right level of protection, as well as comfort, quality and wearability.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;*If you are interested in this topic, for more information and enquiries, please call Hayley Rail on 0121 585 5841 or email rail@hayley-group.co.uk.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Made in the Midlands latest breakfast event was hosted by MIM Platinum members Hayley Group at their specialist engineering and industrial gearbox repair centre Hayley 247 in Dudley, West Midlands.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hayley Group has grown to become the UKs largest independent engineering inventory supplier. Their nationwide network of 40 branches, each carrying a minimum of £300,000 of stock, provides a combination of product supply and technical expertise 24/7/365. Their customers are a combination of MRO and OEM users so we have the ability to meet both unpredictable and often urgent demands, as well as more predictable scheduled demand.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Over 40 Made in the Midlands members attended Hayleys premises which left them at full capacity. There were 60 second presentations from all of the attendees, before UK Electrical Drive Specialist, Chris Pails delivered an informative presentation regarding Hayleys energy management services and quality. You can learn more about Hayleys services and capabilities by visiting their microsite &lt;a href=&quot;http://hayleygroup.madeinthemidlands.com/&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hayley Group Marketing Manager, Craig Bastable stated: The event was very successful, I feel that the visitors got a lot out of the presentation from Chris Pails, as he opened up a lot of eyes to energy management and the cost savings that can be brought about by compressed air.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;twitterwidget class=&quot;twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered&quot; id=&quot;twitter-widget-0&quot; data-tweet-id=&quot;824603265119744000&quot; style=&quot;position: static; visibility: visible; display: block; transform: rotate(0deg); max-width: 100%; width: 500px; min-width: 220px; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/twitterwidget&gt;


&lt;twitterwidget class=&quot;twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered&quot; id=&quot;twitter-widget-1&quot; data-tweet-id=&quot;824581238581264385&quot; style=&quot;position: static; visibility: visible; display: block; transform: rotate(0deg); max-width: 100%; width: 500px; min-width: 220px; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/twitterwidget&gt;


&lt;p&gt;Made in the Midlands have already listed five future breakfast events on our events page. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.madeinthemidlands.com/events&quot;&gt;Tickets &lt;/a&gt;are still available to attend O.L.D. Engineering, AW Precision, Torus Technology Group, Hexagon Metrology and Boneham and Turner. Craig offered his advice to these companies, as he explained: I think to host you have to plan, keep it informal and present something interesting that people want to hear about. You should also give people a chance to network and promote their businesses, whilst making a port of call for businesses to talk to you.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Our breakfast events have consistently grown in popularity throughout the years due to the increase of Gold members within the group. These events provide attendees with a great opportunity to meet and network with local MDs and decision-makers who represent the manufacturing community. Craig concluded: I think cross fertilisation of business is huge. A lot of businesses arent big bold and brash, I think in some industrial parks, people dont really know that other businesses exist there. There are great services locally that a lot of manufacturing businesses can tap into, as there are a lot of great people out there.&lt;/p&gt;
 Please visit our Events page to ensure that you dont miss any of our upcoming Breakfast Networking Events. If you are interested in hosting a breakfast event of your own, please contact our Group Events Manager Iwona at: iwona@firstorchard.com&lt;br&gt;]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Hayley Group, one of the UK&amp;rsquo;s leading industrial supply specialists officially opened its Leeds Bradford branch on the 2&lt;sup&gt;nd&lt;/sup&gt; September 2019.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The 5,700 sq. ft. branch occupies two units on the newly-developed Newhall Nano Park, located off Newhall Way, Bradford. The site is built on the grounds of a former golf course and has been constructed with Yorkshire stone to keep in tune with the local architecture. Hayley Leeds Bradford is a two-minute drive from the M606 spur off the M62 motorway, connecting the branch to the major West Yorkshire transportation arteries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Unit 1 houses a trade counter containing leading-brand consumables such as lubricants, PPE and tools, with two floors of warehousing covering bearings, chain, sprockets, pulleys, through to hydraulic and pneumatic fittings. Unit 2 has been utilised for the bulk storage of motors, geared drives, torque arms and provides capacity for workshop facilities.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hayley Leeds Bradford is the newest addition to Hayley Group&amp;rsquo;s expanding branch network and is being headed up and staffed by an extremely capable team, having a total of 142 years&amp;rsquo; experience working within the maintenance, repair and overhaul sector. Having worked extensively with engineering, maintenance and stores professionals across West Yorkshire for many decades, the Leeds Bradford team has acquired a wealth of product and service knowledge required to meet the diverse demands of industries operating within the region.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Hayley Leeds Bradford team have the full backing of Hayley Group&amp;rsquo;s national specialist product support teams, dedicated specialists for mechanical and electrical drives, pumps, hydraulics and pneumatics, condition-based monitoring, lubrication, industrial vending, stores management through to e-business. In addition, the branch has access to local technical support teams for all the major supply partners.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Where major competitors have relocated and reduced their branch network in recent years, Hayley Group has sought to expand its branch network, bringing products, technical expertise and services closer to the customer under its Stock | Service | People philosophy.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;David Williams-Berry, regional manager stated: &amp;ldquo;We have assembled a fantastic team here at Leeds Bradford. With access to an impressive level of local stock and additional technical support, we have a really strong proposition, bringing something new to the West Yorkshire region.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;The reception of the new branch has been really positive, placing Branch Manager Tony Williams in a position where he and the team can move forward into 2020 with real confidence.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All those that are interested in taking a look around the branch are urged to contact the team, or simply come along to the trade counter.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Leading UK engineering inventory supplier Hayley Group enters
2017 on a high-note following rapid sales growth within the hydraulics and
pneumatics product categories. Recent developments make Hayley Group one of the
most prominent forces within the sector. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hayley Fluid Power, the specialist hydraulics and pneumatics
division within Hayley Group has direct supply agreements with globally
recognised fluid power brands such as SMC, Gates, Festo and Camozzi. The
specialist division works closely with the 40-strong UK branch network,
facilitating enhanced local supply and technical support to customers. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Rapid growth of the division has increased the requirement
to recruit new talent and enhance our value-added capabilities. With the
increased manpower, Im confident we can build upon the sales growth gains made
over the last 12 months, whilst offering an enhanced service to customers. stated
fluid power manager, John W Jones. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Among the new recruits include Chris Melia &lt;i&gt;(left)&lt;/i&gt; who will
be working in a technical support capacity. He has a long-established and
hands-on career within the fluid power sector, making him ideal for solving queries
and providing timely solutions for customers. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Apprentice administrator Ethan Scott &lt;i&gt;(right)&lt;/i&gt; joins Chris in
providing additional capacity for purchasing and logistics operations within
the division.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The recent arrival of process valve specialist Alan Shennan
bolsters Hayley Groups capabilities within this category. Alans arrival brings
with him decades of industry experience that will significantly widen the
process valve portfolio offer to customers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The last of the four recruits Haleigh Fisher joins the
division with a focus on industrial hoses, with a specific focus on hygienic ranges
and hose management systems relevant to the food and beverage sector.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;]]></description>

&lt;p data-start=&quot;633&quot; data-end=&quot;1049&quot;&gt;At the heart of this network is &lt;strong data-start=&quot;665&quot; data-end=&quot;685&quot;&gt;Hayley 247 Dexis - &lt;/strong&gt;the group&amp;rsquo;s specialist 24/7 engineering support centre based in the West Midlands. In &lt;strong data-start=&quot;772&quot; data-end=&quot;780&quot;&gt;June&lt;/strong&gt;, this flagship facility hosted a &lt;strong data-start=&quot;814&quot; data-end=&quot;868&quot;&gt;Made in Group factory tour and best practice event.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;The visit brought together a group of&lt;strong data-start=&quot;1056&quot; data-end=&quot;1114&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;50 attendees, including members of&amp;nbsp; Made in the Midlands, Made in Yorkshire&amp;nbsp; and Hayley Dexis staff&lt;/strong&gt;, for a morning focused on people-first leadership, engineering excellence, and operational insight.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;633&quot; data-end=&quot;1049&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot; data-start=&quot;40&quot; data-end=&quot;115&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;Members connecting during the networking session at Hayley 247 Dexis.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr data-start=&quot;1051&quot; data-end=&quot;1054&quot;&gt;
&lt;h3 data-start=&quot;1056&quot; data-end=&quot;1108&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;1060&quot; data-end=&quot;1108&quot;&gt;Culture as a Strategic Weapon&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1110&quot; data-end=&quot;1487&quot;&gt;The event opened with a thought-provoking talk by &lt;strong data-start=&quot;1160&quot; data-end=&quot;1177&quot;&gt;Adrian Easter&lt;/strong&gt;, Group Development Director at Hayley Dexis, who has been with the company for 17 years. He outlined the business&amp;rsquo;s impressive growth - from &lt;strong data-start=&quot;1321&quot; data-end=&quot;1388&quot;&gt;&amp;pound;52 million in 2008, when he joined, to over &amp;pound;350 million today - &lt;/strong&gt;and made a compelling case that behind this trajectory is a deep commitment to people and culture.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1489&quot; data-end=&quot;1772&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;&lt;em&gt;Managing people well isn&#039;t just an operational necessity, it&amp;rsquo;s our strategic advantage,&amp;rdquo;&lt;/em&gt; he explained. Adrian praised the leadership of figures like &lt;strong data-start=&quot;1642&quot; data-end=&quot;1659&quot;&gt;Bernie Noakes&lt;/strong&gt;, whose &amp;ldquo;light-touch management&amp;rdquo; style set clear expectations while giving people space to lead, think, and grow.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1774&quot; data-end=&quot;2055&quot;&gt;He encouraged business leaders to model values rather than just talk about them. &lt;em&gt;&amp;ldquo;Culture is not what you say, it&amp;rsquo;s what you signal,&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;he said, advocating for recruitment based on &lt;strong data-start=&quot;1956&quot; data-end=&quot;1973&quot;&gt;&amp;lsquo;culture add&amp;rsquo;&lt;/strong&gt; rather than cultural sameness, to bring fresh perspectives into values-led teams.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;2057&quot; data-end=&quot;2454&quot;&gt;At Hayley Dexis, culture is embedded in everyday practice, through&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;2127&quot; data-end=&quot;2176&quot;&gt;weekly huddles, storytelling, and recognition - &lt;/strong&gt;and evolves as the business grows. Adrian also spoke about the importance of &lt;strong data-start=&quot;2254&quot; data-end=&quot;2278&quot;&gt;psychological safety&lt;/strong&gt; as the foundation of innovation. &lt;em&gt;&amp;ldquo;Playing it safe is the enemy of innovation,&amp;rdquo;&lt;/em&gt; he added, urging leaders to build trust so employees feel empowered to speak up and improve.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;2456&quot; data-end=&quot;2683&quot;&gt;He closed with a simple but powerful reminder: &lt;em&gt;&amp;ldquo;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;2504&quot; data-end=&quot;2558&quot;&gt;The culture that got you here won&amp;rsquo;t get you there.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;rdquo;&lt;/em&gt; For Hayley Dexis, culture is not a static idea, it&amp;rsquo;s a strategic asset, actively shaped by everyone in the organisation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start=&quot;2756&quot; data-end=&quot;2932&quot;&gt;Following Adrian&amp;rsquo;s talk, members joined a fully guided tour of the Hayley 247 Dexis facility, where engineering expertise and rapid-response capability were on full display.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;2934&quot; data-end=&quot;3352&quot;&gt;In the &lt;strong data-start=&quot;2941&quot; data-end=&quot;2973&quot;&gt;pump repair and testing area&lt;/strong&gt;, the team demonstrated their &lt;strong data-start=&quot;3003&quot; data-end=&quot;3033&quot;&gt;30,000‑litre live test rig&lt;/strong&gt;, used to validate performance on complex repairs for major customers like &lt;strong data-start=&quot;3108&quot; data-end=&quot;3161&quot;&gt;Severn Trent, Thames Water, and Jaguar Land Rover&lt;/strong&gt;. They explained how &lt;strong data-start=&quot;3182&quot; data-end=&quot;3202&quot;&gt;Belzona coatings, &lt;/strong&gt;a ceramic, brushable compound, are used to restore and enhance the hydraulic efficiency of worn pumps, often making them perform better than when new.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;3354&quot; data-end=&quot;3800&quot;&gt;In the &lt;strong data-start=&quot;3361&quot; data-end=&quot;3385&quot;&gt;gearbox rebuild area&lt;/strong&gt;, members saw the company&amp;rsquo;s &lt;strong data-start=&quot;3413&quot; data-end=&quot;3462&quot;&gt;reverse engineering and weld reclamation work&lt;/strong&gt;, where broken or obsolete components are brought back to life. Engineers shared examples such as a &lt;strong data-start=&quot;3562&quot; data-end=&quot;3591&quot;&gt;weekend emergency rebuild&lt;/strong&gt; for Veolia, where a full shaft was machined, fitted, and returned in under 72 hours. Repairs are backed by third-party testing and in-house inspection, ensuring every rebuild meets high-performance standards.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;3802&quot; data-end=&quot;4176&quot;&gt;The &lt;strong data-start=&quot;3806&quot; data-end=&quot;3822&quot;&gt;machine shop&lt;/strong&gt;, relocated and upgraded last year, runs 24/7 with a combination of CNC and traditional lathes. Engineers walked members through their live jobs, highlighted raw material stock used in breakdown response, and described the technical challenges of non-standard components, like&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;1251&quot; data-end=&quot;1305&quot;&gt;tight-tolerance work and precision-machined shafts&lt;/strong&gt; built to exacting requirements.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;4178&quot; data-end=&quot;4412&quot;&gt;During the networking session, attendees got a close-up look at a &lt;strong data-start=&quot;4244&quot; data-end=&quot;4279&quot;&gt;WMH collaborative robot (cobot)&lt;/strong&gt; on display, as the team explained how they&amp;rsquo;re exploring automation for repetitive processes to complement their expert-led services.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;4178&quot; data-end=&quot;4412&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot; src=&quot;https://madeingroup.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/storage/uploads/wysiwyg/2025/06/12/madeinmidlandsHayley0268.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;741&quot; height=&quot;494&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;hr data-start=&quot;4414&quot; data-end=&quot;4417&quot;&gt;
&lt;h3 data-start=&quot;4419&quot; data-end=&quot;4466&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;4423&quot; data-end=&quot;4466&quot;&gt;A Living Culture, Engineered for Growth&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;4468&quot; data-end=&quot;4665&quot;&gt;From the leadership message to the shop floor walkthrough, the event made one thing clear: &lt;strong data-start=&quot;4559&quot; data-end=&quot;4664&quot;&gt;Hayley 247 Dexis has built a business where culture, capability, and responsibility are fully aligned&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;4667&quot; data-end=&quot;5088&quot;&gt;Whether through trust-based leadership, rapid engineering response, or smart refurbishment practices that extend the life of industrial assets, the company demonstrates that success isn&amp;rsquo;t just about scale - it&amp;rsquo;s about how you operate.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;4900&quot; data-end=&quot;4945&quot;&gt;Repair over replace, reclaim over discard - &lt;/strong&gt;these aren&amp;rsquo;t just engineering choices; they reflect a values-driven approach rooted in &lt;strong data-start=&quot;5033&quot; data-end=&quot;5087&quot;&gt;efficiency, sustainability, and care for customers&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;5090&quot; data-end=&quot;5275&quot;&gt;More than just a factory tour, this visit offered a powerful case study in how a company can grow without losing sight of what matters most: its people, its principles, and its purpose.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr data-start=&quot;5277&quot; data-end=&quot;5280&quot;&gt;
&lt;h3 data-start=&quot;5282&quot; data-end=&quot;5336&quot;&gt;&lt;strong data-start=&quot;5286&quot; data-end=&quot;5336&quot;&gt;About Made in the Midlands Best Practice Tours&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;5338&quot; data-end=&quot;5694&quot;&gt;Made in Group factory tours offer members a unique opportunity to connect, learn, and share. These events highlight real operational excellence and encourage collaboration across the UK manufacturing network. Members who attend &lt;strong data-start=&quot;5566&quot; data-end=&quot;5596&quot;&gt;six or more tours per year&lt;/strong&gt; receive a &lt;strong data-start=&quot;5607&quot; data-end=&quot;5636&quot;&gt;Best Practice Certificate&lt;/strong&gt;, recognising their commitment to learning and leadership.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;5696&quot; data-end=&quot;5833&quot;&gt;🎟 &lt;strong data-start=&quot;5699&quot; data-end=&quot;5756&quot;&gt;To RSVP for upcoming tours, log in to your dashboard:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br data-start=&quot;5756&quot; data-end=&quot;5759&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.madeinthemidlands.com/login&quot;&gt;www.madeinthemidlands.com/login&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

and willing to work within a team. Basic IT skills would also be useful as the
roles may also include some computer work.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you can demonstrate youve got the right attitude
and attributes, you can expect a salary complying with National Minimum Wage
regulations, training, a friendly working environment and the opportunity to
join a growing, successful organisation  whats not to like?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Got what it takes?&amp;nbsp;
Then tell us why by emailing your details to &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:recruitment@hayley-group.co.uk&quot;&gt;recruitment@hayley-group.co.uk&lt;/a&gt;
and which apprenticeship you would like to apply for.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;]]></description>
