It is a very exciting time at Severn, since we launched our new brand to create a strong, consistent identity for the business, we have been working to align our systems and processes within our manufacturing sites.
Following a review of the Severn Group companies operating in the UK, we have decided to simplify this structure and operations. Therefore, from 1st January 2023, Severn Unival Limited and Severn Glocon (Aberdeen) Limited will operate under the name of Severn Glocon UK Valves Limited.
Severn Unival Limited and Severn Glocon (Aberdeen) Limited will operate under the name of Severn Glocon UK Valves Limited
In practical terms this means all the business and assets will now use the Severn Glocon UK Valves Limited name. Day-to-day management, operations and business contacts will remain the same. However, some contracts or purchase orders will require formal assignment, we will notify you in due course, if this is the case. We will contact you again shortly to let you know about changes to be made to our bank accounts.
For your records, the official details are Severn Glocon UK Valves Limited, a company registered in England and Wales, under number 12329544, and with its registered office address at Heywoods Industrial Estate, Birds Royd Lane, Brighouse, HD6 1NA.
We have a dedicated project team in place to ensure a smooth transition. Please see enclosed a list of key contacts who will assist you with any questions you may have.
We look forward to working with you in the future. Best Regards,
John Long
President
