An open house held last month at Hurco Europe’s headquarters, showroom and technical centre in High Wycombe attracted 70 visitors from 30 companies. The company took orders valued at £450,000 over the two days, providing an excellent springboard into 2022. Managing director David Waghorn says: “Despite the difficulties of trading during Covid and some disruption caused by Brexit, we ended our financial year at the end of October 2021 with our second highest turnover ever, only a little less than our record year of 2018.”

Close to 300 Hurco machining centres and lathes were sold into the UK and Ireland market during the company’s latest financial year period, nearly one-third of which went to first-time users of Hurco machine tools. As a postscript, Waghorn mentions that Hurco Europe plans to continue increasing its number of service engineers. The company added two service engineers during 2021 and plans to recruit another three in 2022, which will bring the total to 25.
