exploring opportunities in the marketplace for both businesses. We have made significant changes, including relocating HEGS from the shared Wakefield facility with Green’ s to a dedicated, modern site near the M18 and M62, close to the M180 junction. HEGS primarily focuses on small-scale heat exchangers and plate heat exchangers all over the UK. It serves a variety of key clients in the chemical, offshore, and rail industries, including Rolls Royce, Ithaca Energy, and Cummins. We strengthened the management team at HEGS by introducing new systems, processes and personnel, enabling the business to thrive. The move has allowed HEGS to operate as a selfcontained entity, alleviating the constraints it faced in the previous shared facility with Green’ s in Wakefield. This transition has also provided Green’ s with the opportunity to expand into the additional space,” he opens.

In the same vein, Ropsley has implemented changes across all its companies to better align the individual businesses with the Group’ s goals.“ Over the past 12 months, Green’ s undertook a significant restructuring exercise that included a thorough overhaul and deep clean of the workshop, realigning office buildings to enhance efficiency. In addition, we felt the business development had lost its direction somewhat, so following a re-evaluation of its core markets we are now focused on three key areas: the UK market, which is closely linked with our subsidiary, PJD; the Middle East; and the Marine market, where we have over 7000 Spanner boiler references at sea.”
