Since 1998 I have been Coleherne Ltd’s managing director, overseeing manufacture & repair of industrial bearings for the engineering industry & our CNC laser cutting service. For over 100 years we’ve offered technical advice & support to our customers earning a reputation for high quality & reliability. Coleherne Ltd offer plain & white metal lined bearings.Industrial bearings are used in various machines, most notably rotating equipment, in which it is vital the parts fit.Laser cutting was introduced in 1991 increasing our production capacity & changing the culture of the company. As managing director, I now have 65 employees working a 24 hour continuous shift pattern. I am proud of the high standards we maintain in all our activities & as managing director enjoy nurturing & developing employees at Coleherne Ltd. The laser cutting equipment is in high demand for creation of high quality components for the engineering industry & our technical advice is sought by customers seeking tailor-made products. The range of industrial bearings is constantly being developed & designs improved.Our partners Kingsbury Inc. are world leaders in fluid film bearing used for rotating equipment & power generation equipment. They also offer power generation & rotating equipment parts such as tilting pad thrust & journal bearings. Our technical advice & commercial expertise support their activities throughout the UK & Europe. Direct internet links with Kingsbury Inc.’s engineering department gives us access to their team of highly trained experts & technical advice on products in their range of industrial bearings. Customer support is a major responsibility for me as managing director & I get great satisfaction every time we successfully complete a job. Anyone in the rotating equipment/engineering industry looking for bearing fabrication or CNC laser cutting should visit Coleherne Ltd. See www.coleherne.co.uk for more information.

Before taking up my post as Coleherne Ltd’s managing director, in charge of manufacturing rotating equipment parts & industrial bearings for the engineering industry, I was employed by SAC Taylor Hitec – a manufacturing consultancy company. My main role was day to day management of projects including contractual requirements, financial control, liaison with clients & suppliers and some technical advice on specifications. I was responsible for some very large deals in industries other than engineering where my focus is now. Gas pipe coiling & fabrication of small fittings was the subject, not industrial bearings & laser cutting that Coleherne Ltd focus on.As Coleherne Ltd’s managing director I am responsible for selecting & supervising staff in laser cutting & manufacture of industrial bearings for various sectors of the engineering industry. My experience with SAC Taylor Hitec managing staff & sub-contractors was good practise for the staff management I undertake in my current position of managing director. Design detailing, fabrication & offering technical advice on manufacturing & assembly specifications were tasks I previously had to undertake was good experience for my current role offering technical advice about laser cutting, rotating equipment & industrial bearings to our engineering customers at Coleherne Ltd. I researched & prepared feasibility & design study reports on a selection of topics.We also supply rotating equipment & power generating equipment parts supplied through our partners Kingsbury Inc., one of the leading companies creating bearing for various sectors & with their LEG (leading edge groove) bearings are highly recommended for rotating equipment & large machines. For technical advice or guidance about any of our laser cutting services or wide range of products, contact me managing director: p.fahey@coleherne.co.uk or call: 0161 3666603

During my time with Land Rover Ltd I performed several different roles, starting with responsibility for the quality control system and laboratory activities, and quickly moving to the dimensional assessment centre where I was principal engineer. My last role was in the Enhanced Technology department under the control of the manufacturing engineering director. I was one of a team assessing new technology and its possible benefits to Land Rover Ltd. in reducing manufacturing costs while still maintaining high quality. Projects were concerned with advanced engineering and manufacturing techniques. The company links with industry and commerce introduced me to the principles of fabrication and the importance of sound technical advice. I was lucky enough to have a practical introduction to laser cutting – one of the laser applications in use at that time. This was a valuable introduction to the CNC laser cutting we offer at Coleherne Ltd where I am the managing director.Coleherne Ltd supply bearings to the majority of rotating & reciperating plants focusing on rotating equipment.Another useful experience at Land Rover Ltd. was my work with aluminium and coated steels. We use similar materials for the manufacturing of rotating equipment parts & industrial bearings at Coleherne Ltd In retrospect, I can see that the variety of tasks I undertook at Land Rover Ltd., has been good preparation for my current role as managing director of Coleherne Ltd where I offer technical advice on the design, manufacture and repair of a wide range of industrial bearings.
