COMPANY PROFILE
Dave Moss
DYNAMIC DUO Not surprisingly it is a frenetic time and with this collaboration the ‘dynamic duo’ of Dave Moss and James Clegg plan to meet with and cooperate with existing customers to explain the situation and establish future infrastructure.
UK TEAM
James Clegg goes on to say that the team at the Huddersfield site viewed this acquisition initially with some trepidation, which has rapidly changed and developed into enthusiasm and excitement for the future.
A team of HR professionals from the Moventas office in Germany have been over to meet with the personnel and spoken with them all individually to ensure all know what is planned and to allay any concerns they may have had. This now means that responsibilities can be divided for the UK service market.
CO-OPERATION/COLLABORATION Marko Sormunen, from Moventas in Finland has already spent six months in the Huddersfield service centre now providing technical support, working with the existing David Brown team, establishing and fine tuning workshop processes and procedures to bring them in line with other Moventas Service Centres around the world. The initial process was to provide Moventas with a trusted partner in the UK that was certified as a service partner for Moventas products and to support them.
The object of that exercise was better support for the customer base in the UK and Ireland. Now that David Brown Wind are a Moventas Group Company Marko will return to Huddersfield for a further 12 months to continue the excellent work already done, build on the success so far and strengthen the Huddersfield team.
It is Moventas’ concept to continue to provide a global service and to standardise all the processes, which will allow for far greater flexibility in the service offering for their European customers.
This localised service provision and flexibility now allows the team to perform more extensive ‘up-tower’ work, changing shafts/ bearing and in some cases the complete helical stage for gearboxes up to 2 MW. This union also provides the opportunity for cross fertilisation of innovative ideas in
the design and implementation of their own tooling used in up-tower processes not previously thought possible.
James Clegg states “With the acquisition of DB Wind UK the process continues – ever increasing the quality and services offered.”
TEST RIG There will be a major impact in 2014 with the installation of the 3.6 MW test rig in the Huddersfield service centre, which is the only test rig of its kind in the UK – capable of providing full load test for serviced gears. This is of particular importance for MW class gears and is quite a coup. James goes on to discuss the site in Huddersfield which in total is 17 acres, 6 acres of which is dedicated to the wind business.
