Perry Appoints New Sales Manager - Dan Smith

Congratulations to Dan Smith, who has just been promoted to Sales Manager at Perry Process, UK.

Before joining Perry, Dan graduated in Bilingual Business Studies and worked in France for five years. When asked why he returned to England, he couldn't recall but we know it wasn't for the English weather.

Dan joined Perry in August 2011, as a Sales Assistant. He quickly found his feet in our UK office and is now responsible for covering the sales regions in France whilst working closely with our Plant Co-ordinator. As an avid cyclist, Dan choses to cycle over 50 miles per day to commute into work, plummeting the C02 footprint of Perry Process Equipment Ltd. In fact, Dan was previously a member of the Great Britain Junior Cycling Squad and has competed alongside the 2012 Tour de France winner, Bradley Wiggins.

We are sure that with Dan’s endurance and enthusiasm, he will be a key member of our Perry Team.

Richard Driver Celebrates 25 Years of Service at Perry

On 16^th November 1987, Richard Driver began working for the Perry Group over in the USA. Three years later he returned to his native UK to establish the first European office, known as Perry Process Equipment Ltd.

Some interesting facts from 16/11/1987:

• Margaret Thatcher was Prime Minister of the UK.
• T'Pau were Number 1 with “China In Your Hand”, in the UK.
• Ronald Reagan was President of the USA.
• Billy Idol was Number 1 with “Mony Mony”, in the USA.

In recognition of Richard’s 25 years of dedication and as a token of our appreciation, we said "Thank You" to Richard with a presentation and a gift. Our Managing Director said a few words, in which he described Richard as a great servant to Perry and a brilliant asset to the team. His experience and knowledge are second to none and he continues to thrive in his role with endless enthusiasm, hitting and exceeding his targets with consummate ease.

We are all looking forward to Richard hitting his next milestone of 30 years at Perry.

Perry Celebrate 80 Years

Perry has been at the centre of the used process equipment and machinery world for more than 80 years. Today we have one of the world's most extensive inventories of used equipment, with offices and agents worldwide.

In 1932, Perry Epstein formed his company, Perry Equipment & Supply Co, in Philadelphia, USA. During the early 1950's, the company started to manufacture new pressure vessels and heat exchangers alongside its used equipment division.

 

By the start of the 1970’s, Perry’s used equipment division, which had originally focused on chemical process equipment, had expanded into additional industries including Plastics, Pulp & Paper, Sugar and Pharmaceuticals.

The original company is now called Perry Videx and is headquartered in New Jersey, USA.
Perry’s first international venture was in 1990 when they established a European Business Division based in the UK that is now known as Perry Process Equipment Ltd .

Over the years, several other international offices have been established to cater for the global nature of the business and to ensure the highest quality service and the largest range of stock for our customers.
