______________________________________________________________________ The Adelphi Group of Companies
A culture of innovation- British engineering legacy
Over the years , Adelphi has put a great focus on its R & D and innovation , having spent well over seven figures on R & D in the last five years alone . This has allowed the company to be flexible , agile and grow its teams and systems to support its innovation processes . “ Today we are proud to employ four full time dedicated R & D engineers , which represents 44 percent of our design engineering staff ,” adds Satal .
Alongside R & D and innovation of brand-new products , Adelphi as a group of companies is extremely customer driven , and it works on customizable solutions for specific applications , as Francisco Neto , the R & D Director recounts . “ A recent example included a full clean-in-place system , with over six stages of cleaning phases , including caustic and acid washes . This took the design team nearly ten weeks to create and will be used on a beverage production line for an international beverages manufacturer ,” he says .
Living their culture
Moving onto the company culture and the core values that drive the business forward , Ellen Holroyd , the Group Culture Director , explains that Adelphi is determined “ to support the local economy and the natural environment , operate with integrity , deliver on commitments , nurture the next generation , appreciate colleagues , reward excellence and to be honorable and trusted by customers and suppliers .
Adelphi is a familyowned and managed company , with two generations of family currently actively involved in the business
“ Adelphi is a family-owned and managed company , with two generations of family currently actively involved in the business ,” she says . “ We pride ourselves on our personal touch with our staff and our customers . Staff are encouraged to suggest and take up further qualifications , training , or study programs , to help them realize their full potential and progress further within the company . All staff are made aware that they have access to full financial and emotional support from Adelphi ,” Ellen shares .
“ Our team ran a Benefits Fair earlier in 2023 , at which staff were given the opportunity to ask questions about their pension and other benefits on offer from the company . We contribute to gym memberships and are signed up to the Cycle to Work scheme . We also offer yoga lessons once a week on site and provide a box of fresh fruit every week . Furthermore , staff complete an organizational satisfaction survey each year , the results of which are analyzed by the leadership team and shared with all staff . We have an active charity committee dedicated to fundraising , and an annual charity partner of the year , which is proposed and selected by staff .
Supporting the community
“ Supporting our local community is extremely important to the Adelphi Group of Companies . We provide affordable housing for local residents in public service roles . We sponsor and contribute to local events and activities . We heavily invest in the community ; for example , within the last year we have rebuilt a local vehicle repair shop ( with the build achieving the highest level A + rating ) and let this to the business owner at reduced rent ; we have almost rebuilt a music school , The Rok Skool , which we will then be let to the business at reduced rent ; and we have substantially funded the local rugby club ’ s new club house for which planning permission has been granted ,” Ellen expresses .
