Further to the acquisition of RMF Engineering Ltd by Compass Holdings Group in 2007 and having extensively reviewed our Process Plant operations the Compass Group has decided to amalgamate the Sales, Contracts, Engineering, Purchasing and Accounts functions of both Portobello Fabrications Ltd and RMF engineering Ltd.
In the short term both companies will retain their individual legal status but with combined administration at the Portobello Fabrications offices at Holbrook, Sheffield.
With effect from 7th July 2008 RMF Engineering personnel including Sales, Contracts, Engineering and Procurement will operate from 3 Longacre Close, Holbrook, Sheffield. Later in the year we anticipate relocation of the RMF Engineering accounts department also to Portobello Fabrications’ offices.
It is our intention to maintain the manufacturing facility of RMF Engineering as a specialist / clean fabrication workshop and therefore we shall not be relocating these activities.
The new organisation will be under the stewardship of Graham Avill, currently Managing Director of Portobello Fabrications Ltd; Graham will therefore also take on the role of Managing Director at RMF Engineering Ltd.
We firmly believe that the amalgamation of the administration teams from both Portobello and RMF will strengthen the managerial and commercial structure of both companies and also enhance there abilities in providing quality products for the Process Industry.
Compass Holdings are pleased to announce the purchase of 100% of the share capitol of RMF Engineering Ltd.
RMF has an internationally recognised reputation for the design and manufacture of pressure vessels heat exchangers and special fabrications in exotic materials and whose reputation has been built up over many years of successful trading with many international engineering houses and blue chip, multinational chemical, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical companies.
RMF will join the other fabrication companies, Compass Engineering Ltd. and Portobello Fabrications Ltd. within the Holding Company to form a robust and complimentary group of companies.
The current management team at RMF will continue in role and RMF will remain as a stand-alone business, although strengthened by the new parent company. Compass Holdings Ltd. is a South Yorkshire based group of engineering and construction companies with a turnover in the region of £20-£25million and a strong balance sheet.
Dr. Tim Broadbent, group chief executive stated "...this purchase reinforces our commitment to Engineering in South Yorkshire. I am delighted that Sid Todd has agreed to remain with the company and we look forward to working together to continue manufacturing products of the very highest levels of quality and service."
