George Osborne, The Chancellor of the Exchequer, visited our sister company, Masterhitch Europe Ltd.
Mr. Osborne first had a private meeting with Hugh Edeleanu, the Managing Director of Masterhitch. Also Neil Davis, the General Manager. Followed by a tour of Masterhitch’s factory on the Medway City Estate in Strood. He was shown the design and manufacturing processes used to create the Masterhitch equipment. Additionally, he met the Masterhitch workforce including some of Masterhitch’s local apprentices. They have learned advanced fabrication and welding skills, and are helping to rebuild Medway’s industrial heritage.
During the private meeting, Hugh Edeleanu told the Chancellor of the increasing amount of “red tape” that businesses have to comply with and the cost of that on UK businesses.
During the tour, the Chancellor stopped at one of the work stations to try his hand at rolling a half tonne plate of steel using a 200 tonne set of hydraulic rolls. The Chancellor commented that the process was harder than it looked!
Mr. Osborne visited Masterhitch as a part of the Rochester and Strood by-election campaign accompanied by the Conservative candidate, Kelly Tolhurst. The election will take place on Thursday 20th November 2014
Hugh Edeleanu, who is also Chairman of Masterhitch’s parent company, H. E. Services, stated “It was a pleasure to have the Chancellor visiting Masterhitch today. Plus for him to see for himself some of the great British manufacturing and design work that is happening here in Medway. It was also great to meet some of our young apprentices who are developing into professional engineers and fabricators”.
