An emergency serviceready to respond 24/7
AT Fletcher Moorland we think of ourselves as
an “accident and emergency” service for
industrial electric motors, pumps, gearboxes,
printed circuit boards, inverter drives and servo
motors. Just like a hospital casualty unit, we are ready
to respond 24 hours a day – 365 days a year.
Whatever the time – day or night – our customers
know they can turn to us to get their equipment
fixed as quickly as possible.
Our vast range of engineering skills and disciplines
gives us confidence that we can sort out almost any
machine breakdown – from the first control system
to the last mechanical movement. Our first task is to
find out what has gone wrong and then to tell the
customer how long it will take to repair so they can
plan around any downtime.
We put great store by keeping our customers
informed – it is an important part of our service
because it is vital to factory maintenance managers.
Sometimes a repair can be done in hours and more
extensive work can take days – but we always aim to
keep our turnaround time to a minimum.
However, speed is only part of the equation.
We make sure the repair is done to the highest
standards – so the equipment is as good, if not
better, than when it was new. This is achieved by a
mixture of engineering best practice, using top
quality parts and providing industry-leading
guarantees.
To continue the health analogy, we like to take an
holistic approach to factory equipment maintenance.
It is not just a case of responding to a breakdown –
we look at the bigger picture to make engineering
adjustments and take preventative measures which
will reduce the number of breakdowns. That cuts
downtime and saves our customers money.
We even have a fleet of vehicles ready to go out to
factories to collect and bring back the problem parts
to our workshops in the heart of the UK at
Stoke-on-Trent. This fleet is backed up by a network
of couriers throughout the country and Europe to
ensure that, when urgency is of the essence,
transporting the equipment is not an obstacle.
On a personal note, I am proud to say I have
worked at every level at Fletcher Moorland. (I started
at the aged of nine when my father gave me a
Saturday job sweeping the factory floor!) So I know
at first hand the professionalism and expertise we
have throughout the company. They are very healthy
attributes – and ones which enable us to take good
care of our customers.

DIANE Mansell entered the male-dominated world of engineeringafter 17 years in the food manufacturing industry and soonfound that the change in career was to her taste.
The Operations Director is responsible for the day-to-day
running of just about every aspect of Fletcher Moorland’s
operation, making sure it runs smoothly, efficiently and meets
the needs of customers.
During the six years in her present role, Diane has seen
the specialist company expand dramatically, winning
new overseas business in Europe which now
accounts for 20 per cent of Fletcher Moorland’s
client base.
Diane was Production Manager for a reputable
ice cream company in Telford then HR Manager
for another food production firm in
Skelmersdale. Personal reasons brought her
back to her home city of Stoke-on-Trent 13
years ago.
She joined Fletcher Moorland as Logistics
Controller, then for a spell was PA to the then
Managing Director before becoming General
Manager. She was promoted to her present
senior management role six years ago.
Diane’s wide remit involves sales and sales
forecasting, customer account management,
production planning, human resources, logistics
and financial accounting. In fact on a day-to-day
basis she closely monitors each job, working with
the departmental managers from initial inquiry
to completion.
She also has ultimate responsibility for seeing that
Fletcher Moorland’s fleet of six vehicles up to 7.5 tonnes
and the company’s network of couriers throughout the UK
meet the aim of collecting faulty equipment from a customer
within 24 hours of their initial call.
It’s this attention to detail and
customer service, together with effective
networking and marketing that has
helped Fletcher Moorland develop its
business across the Channel in France,
Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium and
Luxembourg.
Diane said:“I joined Fletcher Moorland
with a background in production and
human resource and I feel that I have
been given a great opportunity to
use my past experience to benefit
the company. I’m passionate about
all aspects of our operation but in
particular I get a huge sense of
personal achievement when
involved in sales and HR.”

CUSTOMERS know they can
count on Dave Daly when it
comes to avoiding those
annoying and costly breakdowns –
for he is Fletcher Moorland’s very
own Mr Reliability.
With 40 years of experience in
the engineering industry, Dave has
the know-how to identify potential
problems as well as recurring faults
– and to come up with an effective
solution.
The Reliability Engineer drives
30,000 miles a year visiting almost
20 sites throughout the UK in a
trouble-shooting role that is
making life easier for a wide range
of customers including a major
food processing company, a
chemical plant and a cling film
manufacturer.
Even fun seekers at Britain’s
biggest seaside resort have Dave to
thank for the time he was called in
by Blackpool Pleasure Beach to look
at a troublesome piece of
equipment that kept bringing one
of the favourite rides to a halt.
He found that water was seeping
into an underwater gearbox unit of
the famous Valhalla water ride
causing it to fail, and recommended
the use of a silicon compound that
proved to be an effective
watertight seal.
Dave said of his role:“I have to
have a crystal ball and identify what
might go wrong for the customer.
“I look at areas such as motors,
gearboxes, fans, pumps and
electronics to help customers
avoid problems happening in the
first place.
“I also help customers
experiencing repeated problems
with equipment to pinpoint the
root cause and prevent it from
happening again. A lot of advice I
give is just commonsense – like
using the correct type of lubrication
or cleaning fan blades regularly so
they maintain a perfect balance.”
Dave added:“I see myself as an
ambassador for Fletcher Moorland
as I visit customers to work with
shop floor engineers and senior
management.”

IN a specialist industry that seesmany companies come and go,Fletcher Moorland Limited has
stood the test of time. It is more than66 years since Sam Fletcher –grandfather of current ManagingDirector Matt Fletcher – formedElectrical Rewinds & Supplies to begina business that over the decades wasto develop into one of the UK’s leadingplayers in electro-mechanical andelectronics repair and maintenance.
Hard work and innovation helped toearn the company a national andinternational reputation for quality andreliability – attributes that today arestill very much part of the FletcherMoorland DNA.“We won our spurs thehard way,” said Malcolm Fletcher,former Chairman and ManagingDirector, who is still a working director.
“Having a ‘can do’ attitude is centralto our business philosophy. We lookafter our customers and make sure werespond when they need us. That iswhy we provide a round-the-clockservice 365 days a year which is a bigand expensive commitment ofresource – but one which we believe isworthwhile and is appreciated by ourcustomers.
“Always being available is only partof the story. We have also consistentlydelivered a top quality and reliableservice which has required
engineering innovation. This has givenus a competitive edge and providesour customers with the added valuethey are looking for.”
Malcolm points to the continualinvestment over the years in the latestequipment and technology and also, inwhat is perhaps the company’s mostvaluable asset – its highly skilledworkforce.
“Our specialist expertise in electro-mechanical and electronic engineeringhas been developed over decades butparticularly over the past five years,”he said.
“We have focused on repair andremanufacture and in this field wehave engineers who are among thebest in the world.”
As the company continues toexpand and develop new markets forits services, Malcolm looks to a brightfuture for Fletcher Moorland – basedon the same sound business culturethat has stood it in good stead for somany years.
He added:“We never rest on ourlaurels – we have to keep adapting,investing and improving to stay at theforefront of our industry. Thatinnovation is vital as we go forward.”

IF you compare a standard electric motor to a
typical family saloon, then a servo motor has
to be on a par with a cutting edge Formula 1
racing car.
They are highly sophisticated pieces of
equipment that power complex machines – such
as automated robots or computer numerically
controlled (CNC) machines… and it’s in this area
of engineering where Fletcher Moorland’s
specialist expertise really excels.
For more than 20 years the company has run a
dedicated servo motor workshop and the
six-strong team now repairs more than 1,000
units a year from the UK, Europe and USA.
The burgeoning division works with high
calibre customers such as Toyota, Nissan and
Rolls Royce, and is recognised as confidential
repairer to a number of major original
equipment manufacturers.
Alan Palmer, who manages the workshop,
delivers specialist on-the-job training to his
team members who learn their skills as their
careers progress.
He said:“We repair and maintain the full range
of servo motors. The work can vary from simple
jobs such as changing the bearings to the
complex set up procedures of modern
programmable encoders.
“Training is on the job because it is so
specialised that college courses can’t teach it.
It means our team have a wealth of skills that
companies need to turn to and rely on.”
A huge factor in Fletcher Moorland’s success
has been continual investment in the servo
motor department.
In 2007, £250,000 was pumped into new
equipment, workshops and development at the
company, which included a complete
refurbishment of the servo motor workshop and
new servo test equipment development.
Alan added:“New servo motors are being
developed all the time and are getting more
sophisticated. This is why we have to keep up by
having the latest equipment and software to
repair them.
“For instance, we have invested
considerably in a new encoder
programming kit but we will
continually have to upgrade it so
we stay at the cutting edge of
the industry.”

THE Drives and Controls department at
Fletcher Moorland works round the
clock to ensure that disruption is kept
to a minimum for customers when a vital
piece of equipment needs to be repaired.
A team of engineers operate three shifts
over 24 hours to work on printed circuit
boards (PCBs) and complete drive units to
locate faults and rectify them as part of a fast
and reliable service.
The last 12 months has seen a record
investment by the company in electronic
drives and controls equipment – including
the cutting edge Pinpoint technology, a
£50,000 electronics diagnostic machine that
brings together a number of testing
procedures in a single piece of equipment.
This gives the ability to diagnose faults on the
most complex, modern PCBs.
Along with 25 years of experience in the
repair and testing of PCBs, Fletcher Moorland
has established its own in-house Research
and Development centre that constantly
reviews testing methods and equipment.
Drives and controls engineers are trained
to the highest industry standard of IPC
7711/21 in the rework and repair of electronic
assemblies.
Technical Director Geoff Rigby, who has 20
years’ experience with Fletcher Moorland,
said: “Our drives and controls team closely
follow advances in the electronics industry in
order to ensure our service is second to none.
“This industry does not stand still and we
have to keep up with each new
development.”

FLETCHER Moorland Ltd was able to deliver
some good news to the company that
prints North Staffordshire’s daily paper
The Sentinel.The two presses at the Etruria,
Stoke-on-Trent publishing centre will continue
to roll for many years to come, thanks to a
carefully planned programme of refurbishment
for the large specialist servo motors that are a
vital component of the printing process.
One of the presses is powered by 17
Indramat motors while 34 more are used on
the other press and until two years ago the
motors were serviced by the manufacturer.
However The Sentinel were told by the
manufacturer that the motors had exceeded
their normal operational life – substantially
increasing the cost of repairs and servicing.
That’s when Technical Manager Jeff Hilditch
contacted Fletcher Moorland’s Managing
Director Matt Fletcher and found a very local
solution to their problem.
Fletcher Moorland drew up a plan to
completely re-build all the motors at a fraction
of what it would have cost to purchase new
ones. The components are being refurbished
one at a time and it takes around two weeks to
restore each one to mint condition.
Meanwhile The Sentinel keep a number
of Indramat motors on stand-by in case of a
breakdown to ensure the presses – which
print up to 60,000 copies of The Sentinel a
day five days a week and 300,000 copies of
The Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday seven
nights a week – are not interrupted by servo
motor failure.
Jeff said: “We have embarked on a long
term project of motor refurbishment which
will take about five years. Fletcher Moorland
came up with a rebuilding programme that
is extremely cost effective and meets our
needs perfectly.”

FANUC Robotics is a world leader in
the production of industrial robots
and robotic automated systems –
and a number of their European
customers entrust Fletcher Moorland
with the repair and servicing of the servo
motors that drive their robotic assembly
and production lines.
With 240,000 of their robot systems
installed worldwide,
Japanese-owned FANUC
supplies tailor-designed
products for the aerospace,
consumer goods, metal
fabrication, medical,
pharmaceutical, solar panel
and many other industries.
Their robots have payload
capabilities ranging from
0.5kg to 1,350kg, and the
company also designs and
manufactures simulation
packages, application
software, force sensing and
iRVision. FANUC produce their
own servo motors at their
in-house factory in Japan.
Among the customers of
Luxembourg based FANUC
Robotics Europe, who
regularly send their servo
motors to Fletcher Moorland from plants
all over Europe, are blue chip names such
as Coca Cola, Hoover, Opel and Suzuki.
All of them are industries where
continued production is a priority and
who therefore require a highly
dependable repair and maintenance
service to prevent any disruption to the
flow of the assembly process.
Andy Smith, FANUC’s General Manager
for European Customer Services, said:
“Feedback we have received from some
of our major customers about the repairs
undertaken by Fletcher Moorland
confirm the work they carry out has
consistently been of a high standard and
very satisfactory for the customers
involved.”

SELF-CONFESSED night owl KenMcCleaft is happy with his twilight roleat Fletcher Moorland where he is Night
Shift Site Manager.The post has been specifically designed to
meet the growing demand from industrial
customers for an overnight repair service in
order to keep their production rolling.
As a keen stargazer US-born Ken is used to
being wide awake when most people are asleep
– and back home in the States he often worked
late as a back stage and front of house volunteer
for a community theatre.
Now Ken leads the seven-strong Fletcher
Moorland team that works through the night
and usually comprises four engineers dealing
with electric motors, two on drives and controls
and one on logistics.
Ken was born in Long Island, New York, but his
work as a computer engineer, some of it for the
US military, took him to Los Angeles,
Memphis, Minneapolis, Virginia and
Maryland. Again, it was a job that
often kept nocturnal Ken
working late into the night.
Through a mutual friend
Ken came into contact with
Fletcher Moorland’s
Technical Director Geoff
Rigby, who shares the
American’s passion for
astronomy and amateur
radio, and in 2003 Ken
“crossed the pond” to join the
company in the Research and
Development department.
He said: “A lot of the work

“Also in this period of downturn, customers are
opting to repair faulty equipment rather than
replace it and this also keeps the night team busy.”

country and I haven’t been back to the US since
arriving here nearly 10 years ago.”

BROTHERS Steve and Phil
Robson have always played for
the same sports teams – and
are still on the same side as they
work together at Fletcher Moorland.
Now in their 50s, they often find
themselves on neighbouring
benches in the Electro-Mechanical
Workshop where they both fulfil the
roles of fitters and site engineers.
Steve, 50, first joined up from
school in 1978 while Phil, aged 54,
arrived in 2007 after a career
elsewhere as a maintenance
engineer. Engineering is in
their blood.
“We loved Meccano when we were
kids and making model aeroplanes.
We used to play for the same
football teams and we’ve played
badminton and golf together all our
lives,” said Steve, who is married
with two children.
“I can’t remember us ever falling
out. We’re both quiet and down to
earth so we get on really well at
work.”
Phil said: “I just wanted a change
of scene and Steve fixed me up here.
It’s a little different from what I was
doing before so I asked him a lot of
questions in the early days. He’s
always dead helpful.
“I soon picked things up as the
whole team helped so everything is
fine now. I’ve really settled in.”

WHEN it comes to winning new contracts and
keeping existing customers happy, former
ice cream factory worker Andy Mansell has
got it licked.
Customer Service and Sales Manager Andy, picturedright, leads a five-strong team who have a track record for
identifying potential new business and going the “extra
mile” for current clients.
Andy said: “When it comes to selling the company,
Fletcher Moorland’s reputation speaks for itself. We have a
very good name with our customers for going the extra
mile and receive a lot of referrals for work as a result of this.
“The team has an extensive current and potential
customer database and uses this to generate new leads.
“We tend to target large companies in areas such as the
automotive industry or food and drink manufacturers and
then meet face to face.
“The best way to sell our services is in person – it gives
them a feel for who they are doing business with and they
can also gauge that you are trustworthy and credible.”
Fletcher Moorland’s customers can be found throughout
the UK and Europe – and even in the United States and
Japan. Their enviable reputation is based on a combination
of an honest approach and a reputation for quality.
Andy added:“We’re always direct and honest and lay our
cards on the table from the off – it’s an approach
companies appreciate.
“They also know they can rely on our repair skills and
the high quality workmanship and parts we use. We are
always proactive. So if we are on site at a company we are
constantly testing their motors to ensure they are running
correctly. It saves the company a large repair bill and
unneeded downtime later.”
On a personal note, Andy has to be on his mettle in the
workplace… because his wife Diane is also Fletcher
Moorland’s Operations Director.
The couple met 22 years ago when they were both
working at an ice cream factory in Telford – and it’s fair to
say their hearts melted.
“She was the production manager and I was a machine
operator and, well, we simply fell in love,” he recalled.
“Several years later Diane came back to her native
Stoke-on-Trent to be Fletcher Moorland’s Logistic
Controller and I came with her and joined as a general
duties operative.”
He added:“We have our moments like any couple – but
at work it is purely professional and we have a great
working relationship.”
The best way to sell ourservices is in person – itgives them a feel for whothey are doing businesswith and they can alsogauge that you aretrustworthy and credible.

WHEN Richard Urwin disembarked from hiscareer with the Royal Navy he sailed straightinto a new job with Fletcher Moorland.
The former weapons engineer who served on board
HMS Gloucester swapped tours of duty on the seven seas
for a new life with the Servo Motor Division.
He has signed up as a trainee engineer and is learning
to repair some of the most sophisticated servo motors
being used in a wide range of industries.
Richard, 22, spent three years with the Royal Navy.
However, after a seven-month tour on board the Type
42 Destroyer in the South Atlantic – including patrols
around the Falkland Islands – he decided to drop
anchor back in the UK.
He said: “My girlfriend was back at home in
Stoke-on-Trent, and the more time I spent away
the more I missed her.
“I was interested in an engineering career in
civilian life and my uncle, Dave Urwin, who
used to work here, was quick with a
recommendation.
“He said that if I was looking to learn
my trade thoroughly there was no better
place than Fletcher Moorland.
“Training is on the job under very
experienced supervision and it is a
steep learning curve. It is constantly
challenging me and I am able to work
with some of the most complicated
precision motors.”
He added: “Both my uncle and my
cousin worked here for many years and I
can definitely see me following suit. I am
really glad I made the change of career.”

W INDER Mike Dukes has
just completed his
apprenticeship as
Fletcher Moorland continues to
invest in upskilling its staff to
provide the engineers it needs
for the future.
The 24-year-old already had a
National Diploma in Electronic
Engineering from Newcastle
College in his back pocket when
he was taken on as a trainee
apprentice winder in 2008.
Block release courses at
Loughborough College filled
in the gaps in his knowledge
while college assessors
continually checked that his
practical workplace skills were
up to scratch.
Mike said:“It’s what I’ve always
wanted to do so I’m chuffed.
I get a lot of satisfaction from
my job and at some point
would like to move on to a
supervisor’s role.”
His mentor over the five-year
apprenticeship was Dave Elks, 62,
the former Electro-Mechanical
Workshop Manager who is now
Engineering Manager.
He said:“He’s come
through well. He’s passed his
exams when some on the
course dropped out or failed
so that’s pleasing for us.
“There is a lack of young
engineers at the moment so we
need to train people up. I’d
encourage young people to
come to us.
“We have a terrific amount of
experience and the work is
varied as we service a vast array
of companies. I’d say we’re
second to none.”
Operations Director Diane
Mansell said: “It can be a
struggle to get young people
interested in engineering so we
offer flexible and practical
training. We also provide a best
practice workshop service to our
customers who often send us
their apprentices to
experience our workshops.”
