Advanced growth for West Yorkshire actuator supplier

Silsden-based Advanced Actuators Limited has reported a 40 per cent increase in turnover for 2013 and announced two key internal promotions

Managing Director Chris Woodhead has revealed significant expansion plans with over 50% of current business secured through export and says the changes in personnel will help sustain further business growth.

With over 20 years combined experience with the company - a leading supplier of actuators and control solutions to the industrial valve market - Lee Ellerton has been promoted to Engineering Director and Graham Coulton has taken on the role of Production Director.

Chris said: ‘Lee and Graham’s new positions brings an increased responsibility for all contracts from order placement to product dispatch alongside the launch of new product ranges and the development of our onsite facilities.

‘Their strategic involvement with the business means I can take on a greater role expanding the Advanced Actuators portfolio in the Middle East and the Far East which is where we anticipate a further 20% growth in 2014.

‘While our 2012-13 financial year was exceptional, we have secured 80% of last year’s turnover just one month into our new financial year,’ Chris added.

‘This is a significant growth period for Advanced Actuators and we anticipate further job creations at home and overseas, in the coming months.’
