Perry Process Refurbishment Programme


Perry has the in-house expertise to fully refurbish any unit from our stock. All refurbishment work is completed by our own Engineering Specialist Team, at our Newton Aycliffe facility which makes the turnaround time minimal. 

This year, we have refurbished and sold a 1,500Ltr stainless steel ribbon blender to Sticky Baits, UK. The unit was inspected before refurbishment began.
 
 
The unit was stripped down and shot blasted in our purpose built facility. Following this, the unit was primed with a zinc-phosphate primer, as per the customer’s request. Our Engineering Team replaced all lubricants required and checked the integrity of all mechanical parts.


The completed unit ready for shipment.
Once completed, the unit was reassembled and a new frame was constructed. A full test run was carried out whilst witnessed by the customer. Sticky Baits, UK statement:
“The Ribbon blender was refurbished to an exceptionally high standard and was barely recognisable from the blender that we first viewed. Exceptional service and work from start to finish, Thanks!”

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 16th 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.
