Moving to the people side of the business, Roy explains that one of his priorities when he became Plant Manager three years ago was to reconnect with the shop floor.“ Following the Covid-19 pandemic, I wanted to strengthen our culture and engage our employees,” he reflects.“ We’ ve implemented several things as a response, such as new workwear including a specific range for female employees, an onsite gym, and a peer recognition platform called Kudos that allows employees to earn awards and redeem points for gifts. We also remain committed to supporting our local communities, and we’ re passionate about supporting the small local businesses that rely on us for growth.”
With investment flowing in both its infrastructure and people, Daventry is confidently entering a new chapter. Looking ahead, Roy plans to build on its momentum, strengthening its foundation for future growth while meeting current demand. He notes that the team is focused on executing its investment program to ensure everything is in place over the coming years. As these investments come to fruition, the site expects gains in productivity and capacity, with the full potential realized in the years that follow.
“ Daventry’ s legacy has only been possible because of our willingness to evolve in line with market and customer demands, and the future will require the same flexibility and adaptability,” Roy concludes.“ Today, we’ re a Power Systems manufacturing site aligned with Cummins’ broader portfolio across multiple power solutions, which will ensure Daventry remains a strong and relevant plant for years to come.” ■
