Since its formation in the early 1970’s, UK Engineering Services (UKES) has maintained, and continues to deliver its key business objective, to provide first class professional engineering services, dedicated to the food and beverage industries.
Managing projects on behalf of numerous international premium branded clients, UKES has been engaged in the development and execution of multi-million expenditure projects throughout the world. Current assignments include project managing an individual project valued up to $100M US dollars. On-going activities include projects in China, The Middle East, Russia, North Africa, North America and Western Europe. This exposure to global investments has given an unrivalled experience, knowledge and access to some very difficult and testing markets.
With headquarter offices located in London, thus providing an excellent central base for rapid connection to any parts of the world and immediate access to the industries leading equipment suppliers in Western Europe. The ability to visit suppliers frequently is invaluable when monitoring project progress during the design and manufacturing phases. Employing a dedicated team of multi-lingual, highly qualified, well motivated professional engineers, the company excels in the integration and execution of projects to defined schedules and cost parameters.
UKES combine all their in-house engineering capabilities, via multi-disciplined engineering groups and teams, to provide clients a “one-stop” shop for the turnkey integration of a project. From project concept through to completion, UKES support its clients. The range of services offered include feasibility studies, design concepts, capex developments, site selections, detailed equipment specifications for process, utilities, filling & packaging lines, warehouse systems, contract documentation, mechanical & electrical design, technical training and commissioning. Design quality is assured by the commitment to ISO 9002 standards recognition, and the use of latest AutoCAD software.
Whilst a single source of contact provides many client’s with a logistically attractive proposal, the range of engineering services provided can be tailored to suit a menu driven basis. Clients have also requested UKES undertake specific elements of a project only, where for example, some specialist technical understanding has been a pre-requisite for the development of the design. UKES are a privately owned and non-aligned company with no manufacturing facilities or agency agreements. Other organisations will offer to provide project management services only in conjunction with their equipment sales. The added value of UKES is our ability to provide clients with a completely objective and independent point of view. The “core business” activity of the company involves the rationalisation and recommendation for appropriate equipment selections to suit each and every individual case.
To dimensionalise the company’s activities, UKES have probably been involved in the procurement of more complete bottling, filling and packaging lines than any other project management company during the last twenty years. Engaged across many industry sectors ranging from bottled water, carbonated soft drinks, long alcoholic drinks (beers & cider), spirits, edible oils, dairy liquids, cereal snack foods, savoury snack foods (potato chips etc..) and cold aseptic filling lines for sports drinks, juices and teas, the company has proven itself time and again to provide that “added value” that is so important to the clients businesses.
UKES personnel keep themselves abreast with the latest equipment technologies and developments by visiting many of the international trade shows to ensure technical enhancements and new innovations are captured. The industry’s mainstream equipment suppliers recognise the value in providing updated technical information to UKES, due to our continuous involvement in global projects. The continuous development of an internal Knowledge Management System enables us to respond quickly to a wide range of questions and inquiries on behalf of our clients.
With an ever updated cost database for equipment and technical information from the industry sector, UKES is able to provide its clients with a “competitive edge” and an objective and comprehensive comparison. This capability eliminates the subjective rationale that sometimes constitutes equipment selections.
UKES offer’s its current and futuristic client base an unestimatable assurance of total confidentiality when it comes to project confidentiality and security. The company has always acknowledged and respected the high level of sensitive information disclosed to its members, and respects the entire process that is so vital to many of the project’s successes with which it becomes involved.
