25 Years In Business

25 Years of Dedication and Growth

For the past quarter of a century, we at Howcroft Group Ltd have been at the forefront of the Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) industry, right here in the heart of Yorkshire. This year, we proudly mark our 25th anniversary, a journey that reflects our unwavering dedication and commitment to excellence. The company has evolved from a modest one-man operation to become one of the largest independent MRO suppliers in Yorkshire, a testament to our relentless perseverance and clear vision from the founder and Managing Director, Allan Howcroft.

From Humble Beginnings to Industry Leaders

Our journey from humble beginnings to an industry leader is anchored in a simple, yet profound ambition set by Allan – to distinguish ourselves in the MRO sector by consistently delivering unparalleled quality, value, and service. Beginning with a specialisation in bearings, we strategically expanded our product offerings to include Automation, Bearings, Belt & Chain Drives, Electrical components, Janitorial supplies, Signs, Tools, Workwear and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), ensuring we meet the ever-evolving needs of our industry.

A Diverse and Comprehensive Portfolio

Our diverse product portfolio is a reflection of our commitment to being a comprehensive solution for our customers, providing all essentials for the maintenance, repair, and upkeep of various industrial operations. This breadth of offerings not only illustrates our adaptability but also our dedication to fostering long-term partnerships by addressing the complete spectrum of our customers' needs.

Unwavering Commitment to Quality, Value, and Service

At the core of Howcroft Group Ltd are our guiding principles – Quality, Value, and Service. With over 2 million pounds of stock at Manvers, Rotherham and the capability to deliver 1 million lines within 24 hours, our prowess in providing prompt and reliable service is unmatched. Our dedication to being available 24/7, 365 days a year, further solidifies our position as a proactive and dependable leader in the industry, relentlessly striving for excellence and customer satisfaction in every way.

Embracing a Greener Future

We are also proud to embrace a greener future, having taken significant steps towards environmental sustainability. The recent installation of solar panels and electric vehicle charging stations signifies the inception of this green journey. In our bid to minimise our ecological footprint, we are committed to using recyclable packaging materials where possible and collaborating with innovative manufacturers to ensure that our product offerings, like the recyclable safety knives, are in harmony with our eco-friendly ethos.

Looking Ahead

As we celebrate this significant milestone, our eye is firmly set on the future, with a continuous focus on improvement, innovation, and unwavering dedication to customer satisfaction. Our 25th anniversary is not merely a celebration of past achievements but the foundation for a future that promises even more milestones and successes.

Here's to celebrating 25 years of industrial excellence at Howcroft Group Ltd, and looking forward to many more years of success and innovation!
