Hughes expands

Hughes Safety Showers has opened
an additional manufacturing unit
close to its existing factory and head
office in Bredbury, Stockport. This
follows more than 10 years of
sustained growth that has seen the
company become one of the world’s
largest manufacturers of emergency
safety showers and eyewash
equipment.

The new unit includes 40,000ft2 of
production space, office accommodation
and training facilities.

Production of tank showers and the
company’s premium range of
unheated showers is now centred on
the site together with fabrication,
stores, dispatch and service. Research,
development and engineering service,
together with the manufacture of
other products including
decontamination equipment and
rapid deployment emergency shelters
remains at the original factory.
