New Iron Foundry Manager

The M J Allen Group are pleased to announce to our casting and machining customers a change in management roles at the Foundry Division of the MJ Allen Group.

 We are happy to advise that Shaun Ricketts, our Non Ferrous Foundry Manager has agreed to take on responsibility for our Iron Foundry in addition to his existing role, upon the semi retirement of our previous Iron Foundry Manager, Derek Goodger.

 To facilitate a smooth handover Derek will naturally be assisting Shaun. We are pleased to advise that Derek will be working with our Sales Director, Gary Ealham to further promote the Foundry and Machining services that MJ Allen has to offer.

 MJ Allen produce low and medium volume, high quality, complex core assembly sand castings in aluminium (to 1 tonne), Grey iron (to 2 tonnes), SG iron (500kg) and copper alloys (120kg). The recent expansion of our aluminium gravity die casting (to 50kg) facility has now given us a medium to high volume capability. Coupled with this our fully equipped CNC and conventional machine shop, MJ Allen-ENC, with assembly and finishing on site, enables our customers to place a single order for a finished components of almost any size and volume.

 The MJ Allen Group is a family owned business based in the South East of England with 2009 sales of around £25m. Group Companies include expertise in patterns, casting and machining (MJ Allen), punch tooling and dies (Rydal), metrology (Verdict), sheet metal working machinery (Airworks, RMT, Gabro), architectural, restoration and conservation metalworking (Mather and Smith), after-market automotive clutch and brake (National Autoparts) and automotive transmission systems design (Countytrac).
