Engineers’ fortunes turned around |

Davy and Markham – two names synonymous with quality and achievement. |
 Bob Rae writes in the Sheffield Star:
Names that have been a byword for innovation and the ability to solve some of the toughest, most complex and biggest engineering challenges. Names steeped in local industrial history, boasting unique manufacturing facilities. Names which, combined into one company, are once more taking on the world – less than two years after coming close to becoming nothing more than history. The turnaround at Prince of Wales Road based DavyMarkham is an extraordinary story and one which finance director Duncan Hay argues is yet to be completed. “We’re not out of the woods yet,” says the cautious Scot, “We are at the changeover from making losses to becoming profitable and we have got to get into the habit of making money” Even so, the achievements of the DavyMarkham management and workforce in a comparatively short time suggests it shouldn’t be too long before it acquires that habit. |
