Mark White, Engineering Manager, who has been a loyal servant to the company for more than a decade has decided to retire.

Helipebs Controls has always the need to encourage talented young people to consider an apprenticeship in the advanced engineering sector.

Helipebs Controls was recently pleased to host a visit from The Lord Green of Hurstpierpoint, the former Minister of State for Trade and Investment and a former Group Chairman of HSBC Holdings plc.

Helipebs Controls are proud winners of the Manufacturing Excellence award from Cotswold Life, a regional publication covering Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire. Geoff Davis, Managing Director says “the company works hard to be where it is today and it is pleasing to be recognised in this way. We have a great team of people who are dedicated to making the company a success”.

Helipebs Controls Ltd has gained a prestigious award having been named as the winner in the category ‘Family Business Manufacturing Excellence’.

One of Helipebs young engineers, Lucy Nichols, recently visited a local school, Elmbridge Junior, to help promote engineering to year 5 and 6 students. The day was spent working with small groups to design and build a lego robot, which had to be programmed and complete a range of functions. The winners had the opportunity to visit Helipebs Controls where they were shown the latest computer programmed machines as well as spending time working with engineers to design 3D models.

Following detailed discussions at Board level, Helipebs Controls Ltd has decided to withdraw from the specific ‘Intelligent Systems’ market with effect from 1st April 2014. The company will no longer offer frames, structures or servo controllers. The financial results of this division have been poor over the past few years and this has regrettably resulted in one redundancy.

Helipebs Controls are pleased to announce the appointment of Martin Dyball as their new Business Development Manager, to look after the North of England.

Ron Tyler our Manufacturing Director is a member of The Advanced Engineering Committee of The Gloucestershire LEP.

For the second year in succession, the Cheltenham North Carol Concert was held in the Princess Hall at Cheltenham Ladies’ College, and once again Helipebs were keen to sponsor this prestigious annual event.
