JOHN SWAIN
Director
John deals with major contracts and some day to day sales. With 40+ years experience within the Valve and Process industries there are very few applications he hasn't seen.
Some may find his valve-ramblings boring, everyone in the office however, finds it riveting (he is the boss after all)
​
ADRIAN BIRD
General Manager
Adrian generally manages and also knows a fair bit about valves & process engineering.
He is happiest on a Friday when you can hear him sing and whistle - this photo was taken on a Friday.

GARY SEARS
Sales Manager
Based in Norfolk, Gary looks after stockists, re-sellers and end users mainly located north of the Thames.
Gary is a big Canary (Norwich FC) supporter and a great story teller. He keeps us all entertained recounting all the hilarious situations he has found himself in over the years as DJ, Children's entertainer and Sales Manager
​
ADÉLE BIRD
Systems, Quality & Marketing
Adéle is responsible for ISO9001 Quality, Internal Systems, Health and Safety and other general geeky computer stuff.
She has a background in Sales & Marketing and can therefore lie with a straight face
​
​
HARRY CROSBY
Stores
Harry keeps things moving in our warehouse, looking after Goods in & out as well as assemblies, generally accompanied by some serious rock music in the background. When Harry is not out gigging or rehearsing with his band, he can be found supporting the Eagles (Crystal Palace) and is often overheard singing “You are my Palace” – we’re still not sure if this is band or football related or maybe a clever combination of his two passions. Harry’s creativity also extends to Graphic design which will come in handy as our team photo’s are increasingly in need of some photoshop-refinement.
​
DEE SWAIN
Director
Dee is responsible for the accounts and finance, having been involved in general engineering for over 35 years and ran her own business, she is certainly not just a pretty face.
"Can't pay, we'll take it away" remains her all time favourite show.
​
ANDY WILLIAMS
Office Manager
Andy runs the office and general day to day sales, with his 40 year's experience he also comes with an encyclopedic knowledge of products and applications.
He is a proud granddad who now knows about as much about tractors as he does valves
JOE MATTHEWS
Sales Technician
Joe looks after internal sales and helps out with the assemblies/builds in the workshop.
Joe is also our resident frog wrangler and has become a dab hand at removing unwanted amphibians from the warehouse - we suspect this is a skill he picked up down under (Crocodile Dundee style)
​
RHYS GRAY
Area Sales Engineer (North)
Rhys joins us “fresh off the boat” as he leaves his engineering career in the Navy to sell some valves on solid ground. In true Geordie fashion he ensures us he is a lover and not a fighter, however his rows of mixed martial art trophies would suggest the opposite. Rhys looks after our Northern sales area and will be sure to say hi if he sees you “doon the toon like”. When Rhys and Harry gets chatting we all swear we can hear the Match of the Day theme tune playing.
​
CHARLES & EDDIE
Security
This dynamic duo take their job(s) very seriously - no delivery vehicle arrives unannounced when these two are about.
They would do anything for a ball, bone or biscuit
