This summer Mechline look back on how far they have come since 1991 and send thanks to staff, customers, partners, and industry colleagues for being a big part of their journey.
Since Mechline Developments Ltd was founded three and a half decades ago, it has gone from having one product range to seventeen, from four employees to nearly fifty, and from humble beginnings to being the medium sized enterprise it stands today.
Mechline attributes its growth and longevity to its unwavering values, one of which Andrew Farrell, Managing Director at Mechline, wants to highlight:
“Our business is built on five fundamental values: quality, sustainability, expertise, differentiation—and relationships—which I believe deserves particular recognition. Over the past 35 years, it is these relationships, both internal and external, that have played a vital role in helping the company evolve as it has. The insight they bring, the conversations, the collaboration. They’ve played a huge part in shaping our product offering and development, so that we can genuinely solve the changing challenges faced by commercial kitchens.
“A heartfelt thank you goes to everyone – our staff, customers, partners, and industry colleagues – we would not have reached this milestone without you.”
