As a member of Made in the Midlands, work-holding specialist Hyfore regularly attends the annual Expo, with 2019 being no exception. Operating the stand this year were Oli Riley and Rob Wait.
“The Expo gives us the opportunity to meet new people and network with people we already know,” says Wait. “It helps get our name out there a little bit more, and gives us the opportunity for more business.”
Hyfore remains proudly Coventry-based and supplies to a number of industry-leading firms throughout the Midlands.
“It’s a good opportunity for us to hone in on the fact that we’re from Coventry,” says Riley. “Coventry’s quite prestigious when it comes to the automotive industry and a lot of engineering and manufacturing, so it’s quite good to stick with our roots. Especially with the fact that the Expo’s actually in Coventry at that Ricoh arena, it’s perfect.
“I think manufacturing is definitely on the up again,” he continues. “We’re seeing a lot of projects in the Midlands and around the country that are starting to pick up more. Being out on the road and seeing different customers and speaking to them more often we find that actually, they’re benefiting from new projects coming about, and hopefully, it continues.”
Adds Hyfore’s sales manager Graham Cherry: “We’re always expanding and diversifying, constantly looking to grow our client portfolio and further our reach. We’ve got three new sales staff starting within the next 6-12 months, which will help us enhance our work-holding offer. We’re definitely seeing an increase in business and are looking to reinforce our already strong position in the market.”
