History

WHS was founded in 1981 by Bob Harford who started the business by repairing hydraulic presses at a local rubber company .

As part of our expansion we acquired  Kennard Hydraulics and Mackey Bowley and as such  we are are able to supply spares and services for these press manufacturers as well as all presses made by Daniels of Stroud. 

We have gone from strength to strength since our humble beginnings and we are proud to have built strong relationships with a vast number of prestigious companies in various sectors.
