We are very much looking forward to exhibiting at the Ceramics UK exhibition and conference both today and tomorrow! Ceramics UK 2019 is the UK’s premier trade show and conference for the ceramics industry and is actually the only free event of its kind in Europe.

To some, it is known as Stoke-on-Trent. A cosy 36 square miles of industrial history, with a characteristically unassuming name that simply means ‘place on the river’.

There has been significant interest in our latest welding standards accreditation to BS.EN.ISO 9606-1, and at Therser we are now fully into the flow. BS.EN.ISO 9606-1 is a demanding certification that enables us to guarantee the best quality for equally demanding sectors.

Tuesday 19th March 2019 was a special day for us. Apart from being officially the last day of winter, it was also the day we celebrated 10 years in business. A lot changes in 10 years and it’s good to take stock and think about how far we’ve come and what our team have achieved in this time.

We are delighted to welcome Andrew Wildblood to our team as our latest Commissioning Engineer. Andrew is a highly skilled professional with 40 years’ experience in the industry and is well known in the sector for his skill and expertise! It’s a pleasure to have him on board and we look forward to working with him to further strengthen our commissioning team.

After doing lengthy research and considering our clients’ comments, we made the decision to present a new line of electric furnaces. There are numerous models of this furnace so the choice of which depends on the volume/size of products which need to be fired, rate at which the product requires firing at and the continuous temperature your products require.

At the beginning of this year we completed our application to become members of the Midlands Aerospace Alliance. Having had our application accepted, we are now looking forward to the opportunities this brings to play a greater role in serving the aerospace industry in and around the Midlands.

Well done to all of the Therser team! After an extensive auditing and compliance process, we were delighted to be awarded our CHAS Health and Safety accreditation last month. The Contractor’s Health & Safety Assessment Scheme (CHAS) is one of the UK’s leading third-party accreditation services – arguably THE authority on health and safety compliance outside of the government HSE. The association’s accredited membership now includes over 1000 client organisations in the public and private sectors, as well as more than 70,000 registered contractors.

Health and safety is central to the work we carry out here at Therser. All of us who work with industrial furnaces know how dangerous they can potentially be, and also the negative effect they can have on the environment if polluting emissions are not controlled adequately. With the first quarter of 2018 drawing to a close, we are happy to have continued the momentum for health and safety innovation built up in 2015, 2016 and 2017.

We are delighted to announce that our services are now SafeContractor approved, following a successful health and safety audit. The SafeContractor scheme sets a rigorous benchmark for health and safety and quality standards in the engineering, logistics and manufacturing sectors. To become a member, each applicant has to undergo a comprehensive audit tailored to their specific business, taking into account risks and risk management for every business process.
