Ripley Engineering is delighted to formally announce the appointment of its new permanent Managing Director, Richard Osborn.

Richard has a very strong background in the engineering industry.

Starting as a precision sheet metal work apprentice, he moved on to study production management at Cranfield University. He then embarked upon an operational and sales role for a ‘Tier 2’ Ford Motors supplier in Detroit, USA.

Since his return to the UK after several years, Richard has enjoyed a successful career managing family owned manufacturing businesses. His knowledge of manufacturing processes, sales and marketing skills, and commercial acumen has enabled Richard to build up a proven track record in helping companies reach their full potential. He has in fact been with Ripley for several months already, and we are excited about the fresh ideas and enthusiasm he has brought to the company.

Richard would like to extend a warm invitation to our valued customers, and prospective clients to discuss any ongoing and upcoming requirements (November 2011).

We have a number of new opportunities for employment here at Ripley Engineering.

Works Manager for Ripley Engineering since 1986, Brian Beswick has retired having loyally served the company for nearly 25 years.

Brian is regarded with a great deal of affection and respect by his friends and colleagues here at Ripley and by our long-standing customers and suppliers.
He is notable for his down-to-earth approach to all things, his unfailing sense of humour and also his near-pathological fear and mistrust of computers (which he is currently in the process of overcoming!!).

Everyone at Ripley Engineering would like to thank Brian for his inestimable contribution towards the success of the company. "Our sincere wishes for a very long, happy and healthy retirement" (April 2011).

Ripley Engineering has been selected to receive a Gold Standard Award from Mars Drinks (UK) for the sixth year running. This is "in recognition of excellent quality and delivery performance".

We are particularly proud of our sequence of Gold Standard awards, and of our long association with Mars Drinks (January 2011).
