Insights for July

Message from the Managing Director

We’re already over halfway through the year, and what a year it’s been so far. From launching new and improved products (with more on the way) to welcoming fantastic new team members and forming brilliant partnerships, it’s been full steam ahead. To top it off, we’ve just been nominated for Engineering Innovator of the Year. There’s more exciting news coming soon. We can’t wait to share it with you.

Innovation Awards

We’ve been shortlisted for Engineering Innovator of the Year at the Innovation Awards 2025. Thank you to everyone who has already voted for us. If you haven’t already, you can vote for us here.

We Celebrated

We had a very busy month in June, and the whole team pulled together to ensure we fulfilled our customers’ promises. To celebrate the wins, we treated ourselves to some Krispy Kremes.

New Partnership

We annouced our new partnership with Parnells. Together, we aim to bring greater access, support, and efficiency to customers who rely on ball unit solutions to move heavy goods with speed and precision, safely and with minimal effort.

New Products

888 Heavy-Duty:

Premium product built for tougher environments with smarter design features. An alternative unit to the 805 for air cargo and perfect for heavy load movements in many applications such as construction, energy, aerospace, defence, etc. View this product.

805 Upgrade:

The upgraded 805 remains the go-to choice for air cargo applications and is listed in IATA guidelines. The unit is now operating at just 64dB, quieter, smoother, more efficient, and durable in both wet and dry conditions. View this product.

Roller Ball Tables:

We have launched our first Standard Ball Unit Tables that provide smooth, multi-directional movement, reducing manual effort and improving workflow efficiency using roller balls. Seamlessly integrate with conveyors, roller tables, and handling systems. View this product.

Available in three standard sizes (300mm x 300mm, 450mm x 450mm, 600mm x 600mm)

2025 Awards

Don’t forget about our 2025 awards.

We are paying tribute to the customers who consistently go above and beyond to support us as a business, so this year we are launching our very own customer awards. There are three categories with the winner of each being awarded £500 towards their Alwayse marketing activity.

The categories are:

  • Most interactive with our social media
  • Most innovative use of our products
  • Largest percentage of growth in order value with us (when compared to 2024) – to qualify for this award you must have been an active customer of ours for the previous 3 years

You do not need to register for the awards, we will be monitoring the interactions throughout the year and will announce he winners at the end of 2025.

LinkedIn Highlights: Meet Kieran

“I don’t want to just exist in a company. I want to help make it better.”

Kieran joined Alwayse in February as an Engineering Technician, working between the tool room and press shop.

His job is to keep things running smoothly, whether that’s setting presses, working on tools, or improving the processes behind them.

Before Alwayse, Kieran worked at the same tooling company he joined straight from college.
