Newton Derby Have Moved

Newton Derby, Yorkshire’s leading designer, manufacturer and supplier of specialist generators for the rail, military, aviation and power generation sectors, is moving to newer and larger premises. This move will bring a new dimension to the company’s expansion drive and to its commitment to customer service.

The new headquarters, still in Leeds, close to Newton Derby’s existing Pudsey business, will provide the enhanced facilities for continued growth. The Company’s sister company, Winder Electrical, the manufacturers of power and distribution transformers and switchgear for utilities, transportation and industry, are also there.

Scheduled for completion during the second quarter of 2008, the new premises will nearly double Newton Derby’s manufacturing capability, offer larger crane facilities, and provide a more efficient office environment for the growing team.

General Manager Steve Wood is positive of the benefits of the move to the team and customers alike, as he explains. “The new premises will increase our manufacturing space, which will speed up workflow through certain parts of the process that were bottlenecks in our old facilities. The greater crane capacity will give us more flexibility and allow us to use the floor space to maximise efficiency.”

“Meanwhile, the office accommodation will allow us to lay out the sales, design and management team areas in a more ergonomically efficient manner for improved communication and general comfort, all of which should help productivity.”
