Initially renowned for its water and fire pumps, including its own unique Multistage Multi-Outlet (MSMO) pump that has been used in many high-rise buildings and tunnels around the world, the company has evolved and expanded to include a variety of class leading process pumps to meet the demands of this global market.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">With\u00a0nearly a\u00a0year having passed since we last caught up with SPP, we sat down with Director and COO, Robert\u00a0Tichband\u00a0to understand more about the company\u2019s<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-56334\" src=\"https:\/\/manufacturing-today.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/11\/SPP-241-body-image-1.jpg\" alt=\"a technician performing a service check on a piece of industrial equipment\" width=\"425\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/manufacturing-today.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/11\/SPP-241-body-image-1.jpg 425w, https:\/\/manufacturing-today.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/11\/SPP-241-body-image-1-300x212.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 425px) 100vw, 425px\" \/> ongoing evolution and growth, including how\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0preparing for the future. To begin our conversation, Robert shares some highlights from the last 12 months: \u201cLast year was\u00a0very successful\u00a0for us; we had\u00a0a very strong\u00a0financial performance.\u00a0We\u2019ve\u00a0continued to invest heavily in talent, by taking on both graduate engineers and apprentices, as well as upskilling our existing staff.\u00a0We\u2019ve\u00a0spent a lot of money upgrading and updating our infrastructure.\u00a0We\u2019ve\u00a0also invested heavily in technology as we begin to integrate AI across the operation, so\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0been\u00a0a very busy\u00a012 months.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Robert then takes a moment to reflect on the factors that have contributed to the company\u2019s longevity: \u201cA significant factor is the quality of our products, as well as the quality of our people. Throughout the course of our history, the ability to adapt to changes in the market and the macroeconomic landscape has also been key.\u00a0We\u2019re\u00a0proud to be a British manufacturing company and continue to thrive.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Preparing for the future has also been a key element of the company\u2019s success. Apprenticeships can ensure there is a constant pool of talent to fuel the company as it grows and adapts to\u00a0new technologies\u00a0that\u00a0emerge. Robert sheds more light on the importance of the program to the business: \u201cWe\u2019re\u00a0firm believers in apprenticeships; we have a lot of ex-apprentices in senior positions within the organization, so we see first-hand how important it is to develop your own talent in-house. These people buy into the culture of the organization very quickly. We challenge our apprentices to take on responsibility quite quickly and make sure that\u00a0they\u2019re\u00a0contributing. This practical, hands-on learning embeds much better. So,\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0hugely important to us.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cIn the UK, close to ten percent of our workforce are apprentices at various stages of their journey. For example, one of our apprentices has been recognized with two very prestigious prizes by Gloucester Enterprise.\u00a0We\u2019re\u00a0really proud\u00a0of his achievement, just as we are proud of our apprenticeship scheme more broadly.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">As the company goes from strength to strength, its operations in America are also expanding. Robert outlines how recent acquisitions have bolstered SPP\u2019s presence and capabilities in the US: \u201cIn 2006, we founded a subsidiary in Atlanta, Georgia. That business has grown exponentially over the years. Around ten years ago, it then\u00a0acquired\u00a0a business called\u00a0SyncroFlow.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cWe\u2019ve\u00a0been able to support their product development activities from the UK;\u00a0they\u2019re\u00a0very focused\u00a0on their markets. We are also increasing our social media footprint in America through promotional videos, and LinkedIn profiles for example.\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0a key growth area for us and\u00a0represents\u00a0a very successful\u00a0part of the business.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">As consumer and regulatory demands shift, the company has adapted to meet the changing needs of modern infrastructure and industry, with critical increases in efficiency transforming the water utility sector. Robert explains: \u201cWe\u2019re\u00a0focusing on\u00a0efficiency and lowering energy consumption. Pumps are a critical part of most industrial processes, particularly in the water utility sector, which is all about moving water from one place to another.\u00a0There\u2019s\u00a0an energy cost associated with that. By making our pumps more efficient, much easier to\u00a0maintain, and with longer maintenance intervals, we are contributing to the decarbonization of the industry by reducing energy consumption and energy costs for our customers, as well as extending the lifecycle of the products.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-56335\" src=\"https:\/\/manufacturing-today.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/11\/SPP-241-body-image-2.jpg\" alt=\"a technician from the Pump Supply &amp; Repair Group performing maintenance on a large industrial pump and motor. \" width=\"425\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/manufacturing-today.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/11\/SPP-241-body-image-2.jpg 425w, https:\/\/manufacturing-today.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/11\/SPP-241-body-image-2-300x212.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 425px) 100vw, 425px\" \/>Before highlighting the company\u2019s current investments and growth strategy, Robert takes a moment to reflect on the significance of winning the Manufacturer of the Year award three times in a row: \u201cIt really underpins our status as the premium pump manufacturing company in the UK. To win that award once is a great\u00a0honor, twice in a row is unprecedented, and three times is remarkable.\u00a0We\u2019re\u00a0very proud\u00a0of it. We also actively support the BPMA, the British Pump Manufacturers Association.\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0nice for us to be recognized not only by the market and by our customers, but by our peers as well.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cTo\u00a0maintain\u00a0our growth and ongoing financial success, we are investing heavily right across the board. Firstly, we have invested in our staff because we recognize our people as our most important asset. Updating and upgrading the infrastructure of our facilities and our machinery, particularly the machinery that apprentices can\u00a0operate, which really accelerates their learning, helps prepare the company for the increased demand of the future.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cWe are also doing a lot with AI and software platforms that increase our presence in the service sector and increase the efficiency of our manufacturing processes. We view ourselves as a progressive organization that is ready to adapt to new challenges. I think that investment in people, current technology, and infrastructure has been key to our success so far and will continue to be a crucial factor in our future success.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">To conclude, Robert looks to the future, outlining the company\u2019s ambitions and goals for the years to come: \u201cIn the shorter term, we have some shipping and sales targets to meet, as well as some financial performance numbers to achieve. Looking forward, though, our priorities are securing and building on our financial performance, ensuring that we have a very sound financial base, and we are improving our credit rating, which\u00a0we\u2019re\u00a0also\u00a0very proud\u00a0of. We will also be ensuring that the culture of the organization is not only protected but enhanced by everything that we do, making sure that we live by our values, that the company is sustainable, and that we can provide security for the communities that we operate in and deliver value to all our stakeholders.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a
