Receives Royal Visit
Haldane UK rolled out the red carpet today as it received a royal
seal of approval from His Royal Highness, The Duke of York, who
visited the company’s headquarters in Glenrothes, Fife.
The visit followed on from Haldane UK’s success in winning
the prestigious Queens Award for Enterprise in 2006 which recognised
the company’s continuous development of the equipment and
technology used in the architectural joinery sector.
As well as presenting the company with its Queens Award, His Royal
Highness will also conducted the formal opening of Haldane UK’s
factory extension which will see the company double the size of
its existing premises.
His Royal Highness was able to see first hand how Haldane UK has
become one of the most advanced timber manufacturers in the world
with its investment in state of the art technology coupled with
the company’s manufacturing efficiency programme which was
recognised by the DTi.
Haldane UK’s Managing Director, Forrester Adam, said “Winning
the Queen’s Award for Enterprise is one of the highest achievements
any UK company can be awarded and receiving the accolade from His
Royal Highness was the icing on the cake for us.”
He continued, “The visit was a very special day for everyone
associated with Haldane UK. His Royal Highness was particularly
interested in the technology we used to manufacture the intricate
timber balustrading involved in the restoration of Queen’s
Prayer Room following the fire at Windsor Castle.”
Haldane UK has become one of the most advanced timber manufacturers
in the world manufacturing luxurious timber handrails, components
and glazing beads following an investment of over £500,000
in CNC technology normally used for machining aluminium and a bold
change in business strategy.
Haldane’s technology and expertise has revolutionised the
UK timber components industry. The company can now machine and replicate
complex timber components to accuracies of within one quarter of
a millimetre in just 45 minutes - a process that takes competitors
1.5 days to hand carve.
