FILMING FOR BUSINESS

AWARDS PRESENTATION

GALA DINNER EVENING

At our Head Office in

Hull this week we had a

visit from a film crew

who were with us to

make a short film about

our achievements in the

area of exports. If you

received the July Nesco

News you may recall we

have been short listed

for a Business Award for

Export and as part of the

award a film is made to

be shown at the awards

dinner and for us to

keep afterwards, so look

out for it on our

YouTube and web site in

the next few weeks. The

film features just a very

small amount of our

activities but it will give a

flavour of our company’s

activities.

Busy Times for Nesco in the Run-Up to Christmas

iceberg.

We are also including in

these news letters from now

on technical updates which

will be written by my

colleague John Wealsby, so

that your engineers,

technicians and sales

personnel will be kept up to

date with the latest moves in

weighing technology as well

as information on technical

achievements accomplished

by the Nesco Group.

Look out for the Technical

‘Nibbles’ later.

Hello and welcome to the

Nesco News for the third

quarter of 2011, only a few

weeks to Christmas!!!

Summer was again a very

busy time for all of us in the

Nesco Group with new

products coming on-stream,

which I will feature later.

Being short listed for a

business export award, sales

of new weigh-bridges and

upgrades for our old

Wavecheetah systems now

available to our customers

and that are just the tip of the

Wavecheetah MKI Upgrades

We are receiving

more and more

requests to upgrade

the Mk I

Wavecheetahs to

the latest MkII

specification, after

all some of them

have been out there

for over 12 years.

We at Nesco have

carried out

This is an area that my

colleague John Wealsby

is working on and I

know that there has

been some progress

made so I will leave

that for John to cover

that area in his

Technical Update.

By John Wealsby

Nesco has been considering

Self Verification for a number

of years now, having first

discussed the challenges with

the UK Weighing

Federation’s Chief Technical

Officer –

We have now found

ourselves in a position

whereby the number of

requests for re

weighing machines and

weighbridges is increasing to

such a level that we now

need to put the final blocks

in to place, which would

include new ISO9001

auditing procedures and new

training for

engineers.

A recent visit to the newly

appointed Chief Tec

Officer –

going to allow

the transition to having both

Nesco and Mordue engineers

qualified for re

New Weighbridge

Leaflets

We have been supplying

British made, or should that

be Yorkshire made Weigh

Bridges for almost two years

now but until very recently

we didn’t have a leaflet on

these products available,

but now we have. We offer

the Cardinal 225 or 825

indicators with these

products so together they

make a quality piece of

equipment. View the full

leaflet from the website:

www.nesco-weighing.co.uk

Mordue Atex Success

Mordue Brothers Director

Simon Hyde and Lead Engineer

Jim Fegan have recently

completed the latest Atex

training courses, so they are

now all set up to offer our

North East customers

equipment for explosive areas

and be fully conversant with all

the latest requirements for

service and installation of this

very specialised equipment.

Mordues have contracts in

some of the most potentially

dangerous chemical factories in

the North East so they now

have the opportunity to expand

that area of expertise and to go

after more organisations

working in the chemical and

petro chemical industries.

NEW CARDINAL STORM &

REFURBISHED DISPLAY

AREA

We have now received the

first of what I expect to be

many of the new Cardinal

190 Storm Indicators and it

is taking pride of place in

our refurbished

display/demonstration and

shop window area.

The old show room has

been completely

transformed into a shop

window display,

demonstration area, final

inspection and dispatch

area.

The 190 Storm indicator

takes pride of place sitting

immersed in a tank with a

constant shower of water

poring over it, live and

attached to a weigh

platform.

To say this is impressive

would be an

understatement.

The 190 Storm has IP69K

water and power protection

and will be used in various

new development systems

we are currently working

on.

I am sure John will be

featuring these in his section

over the coming months.

Mordue Brothers Success, Now

ISO9001 Accredited

Nesco’s Newcastle Branch Has Now

Completed It’s ISO9001:2008 Accreditation

Early in the month of

October Mordue

Brothers received a

visit from NQA our

quality control

auditors and after an

exhaustive

investigation

awarded Mordue

Brothers Limited the

ISO 9001 quality

standard.

This is down to the

extensive work

carried out by Pip

Hodgins (pictured)

our Quality Co-

ordinator and all the

staff at the

“ISO ACCREDITATION JUST

EMPHESISES THE QUALITY OF THE

WORK CARRIED OUT”

Newcastle Branch in

Hebburn.

To obtain the ISO

9001 accreditation is

no mean feat as it is

something that

Mordue had been

striving for and had

failed to achieve

before they were

taken over by the

Nesco Group, Having

ISO 9001

accreditation just

emphasises the

quality of the work

that is carried out by

our staff and gives

the customers even

more confidence in

our abilities.

Featured Staff Member

Alex Chadwick

Alex has been with us from

leaving School and is just about to

come out of his Apprenticeship

but he has already finished his

normal Technical College studies

which he passed with flying

colours and has asked if he can go

on to do his Higher National

Certificate.

As Nesco Weighing has a policy of

Continual Personal Development

we were delighted to be able to

back Alex and to allow him time

off in order to carry on his studies

for his HNC and we all wish him

well.

Alex is a highly valued member of

our staff and he is currently

carrying out in house training in

the Product Development Section

on some of most advanced

systems that we work on.

This News Letter is sent to all members of the Nesco Group incorporating Mordue Scales Limited, together

with selected trading partners and associate organisations.

To Conclude

We continue to develop our personnel as well as our product but that is what we believe the Nesco Weighing Group is all about.

We can do the ordinary but we like to be challenged and to continually develop our company skills base as well as our personal

development, that way we bring added value and profits to our customers and partners.

We push the boundaries of what is possible as we believe that to stand still is just another way to go backwards
