CHEMUK 2019

We look forward to meeting and advising delegates from the chemical industry supply chain and water utilities sector at CHEMUK 2019.

This inaugural event, brings together chemical product development, specification, processing and manufacturing businesses, and their suppliers, offers an unprecedented opportunity to share information. It takes place in Leeds on 1st and 2nd May.

As well as showcasing its extensive portfolio of products, we are committed to providing an expert team of problem-solving advisers for visitors to Stand B24. Proposals and Solutions Director Bob Cook and Business Growth Manager Fletcher Roche will be amongst those on hand to apply their wealth of knowledge and experience.

A variety of products from our range of chemical dosing equipment will be highlighted, including small dosing units, dosing pumps, spares and accessories.

Bob Cook comments: “Along with their precision, reliability and controllability, our standard products have been developed for system compatibility, to make users’ lives easier. At the same time, we pride ourselves on being able to configure elements flexibly and responsively into bespoke solutions which solve customers’ specific problems. We will be delighted to talk to CHEMUK visitors and address their issues.”

Our chemical dosing systems are available both for purchase and for hire. Hiring has become a popular approach to dealing with emergencies, scheduled shutdowns, short-term increases in demand and testing of treatment strategies. Its added advantages include conservation of capital expenditure. We offer the UK’s largest chemical dosing hire fleet.

Fletcher Roche of WES concludes: “We are relishing the chance to network and share best practice with other businesses at CHEMUK. Thanks to our continuing growth and success, we are now in a better position than ever to help. We warmly invite visitors to come and discuss their needs with us and see how our flexible solutions work.”

CHEMUK  takes place from 1st  and 2nd May 2019 in Leeds. Visitors can find WES at Stand B24 where more information and products will be available.
