Get a GRIP

Gripple doesnrsquot whinge about the struggles of being

a UK manufacturer It just gets on with it as Victoria

Fitzgerald discovered

Out and about - Gripple

The original Gripple fastener was the brain-child of

plucky entrepreneur and wire-salesman Hugh Facey

MBE (who also happened to be in the TM Top 100 in

2014) He devised the product as a response to the

challenges posed by existing methods of joining fence

wires In 1988 Facey launched the product in the UK

and three years later Gripple Ltd was born

A quarter of a century later and operating from three

factories (one of which also houses sister company

Loadhog) the award-winning Sheffield firm has

developed more than 6500 products for agricultural

fencing trellising and hanger systems for installing

mechanical and electrical services seismic bracing

and geo-synthetic turf mat anchors Its products hold

together world-famous landmarks like Yankee Stadium

in New York the Atlantis Hotel in Dubai the Great

Dingo Fence in Australia and Britainrsquos very own Loyn

Bridge in Lancashire

Since 1988 combined sales of agricultural and

construction Gripple fasteners has reached 500 million

units with some 16000 tonnes of zinc consumed in

the process The companyrsquos 3900 customers in the

construction agricultural and civils markets are spread

across 80 countries and account for 85 of turnover

With a track record like that I had to pay Gripple a visit

The factories

Irsquod never been to Sheffield

before so naturally I was

eager to get precise directions

to Gripple HQ from Margaret

Laver of Proactive PR

Gripplersquos veteran PR guru

ldquoTaxi drivers will know where

Gripple is - there is a huge

spider on the wall which

most of them recognisedrdquo she

said I had my doubts but sure

enough at Sheffield station I

supplied the taxi driver with

these limited instructions and

he got it at once

After a short drive the

famous spider hove into

view a large metal sculpture

clinging to the side of Gripple

HQ held together by those

famous wire fastenings

Gripple is based at The Old

West Gun Works which

was as a gun making facility

during both world wars In

spite of its age the main

building is the picture of a

Spiderside The famous metal sculpture is held together by the firmrsquos wire fastenings

Medical treatmentIf we are unfortunate enough to find ourselves in a hospital bed the last thing on our mind is the array of medical devices we are attached to Gerald Kelly of Sony Technology Centre tells Victoria Fitzgerald why we should spare a thought for the engineers who made them

Lead interview - Gerald Kelly

Sony is probably best known for its consumer electronic products such as games consoles TVs and smartphones What is less well known is its prowess in the manufacture of medical devices So when yoursquore playing Uncharted 4 A Thiefrsquos End on your PS4 it is worth considering that the same company is helping surgeons fine-tune their skills with 3D head mounted displays

Itrsquos in this area that Sony Medical is increasingly becoming a front runner Their offering comprises specialist products including the first OLED monitor and HD 3D technology as well as cameras monitors displays recorders print media to document images and solutions to share images

J U N E 2 0 1 6 | V O L 1 9 I S S U E 5 L E A D I N T E R V I E W 3 1

Virtual realitySony Medicalrsquos Gerald Kelly told TM he is most proud of the

companyrsquos virtual reality technology ldquoThe VR products such as

the headsets and high resolution monitors use ground-breaking

technologyrdquo he said While Sony isnrsquot alone in the market it has

been at the forefront of display technology for a very long time

I asked him how Sonyrsquos VR technology changing and developing

the way medical professionals work He said one key area is in

training

ldquoI saw a very interesting display at the Digital Economy Centre

in Swansea Universityrdquo he said ldquoThey were using a virtual TV

picture to train medical staff to give injections guiding them

how find the right vein with minimum trauma This technology

means students can be trained offline to a very high standard

before they become operationalrdquoThe necessary breakthroughKelly and I discussed what is next for Sony in the development

of its medical devices and the emerging trends in the sector as

a whole He said medical service systems will become smaller

lighter and more mobileldquoThe miniaturisation of items like diagnostic equipment is an

important next steprdquo he explained ldquoFor example when surgeons

perform keyhole procedures being able to miniaturise the image

device is the breakthrough needed and although there has been

significant progress thatrsquos the one area the surgeons would like

to see more rapid progress In addition to this a move from 4k to

8k resolution means you can get a much higher magnification on

monitor imagesrdquo

Chief importanceLike many other areas of manufacturing the innovators

we have to thank for the incredible advances being made

in the medical device industry are under-recognised

In 2014 the Institution of Mechanical Engineers

launched Biomedical engineering advancing UK

healthcare which called for greater recognition of the

role of engineers in the NHS and for the introduction of

a chief biomedical engineer in every NHS acute trust

The IMechE report said that ldquoThe low priority given to

NHS engineers is leading to problems caused by faulty

medical equipment cancelled operations and poor value

for money for taxpayersrdquo It added ldquoIn 2013 over 13000

incidents were reported to the UK regulator relating to

faulty medical equipment which led to over 300 deaths

and almost 5000 serious injuriesrdquoGerald Kelly said he totally supports this call for chief

biomedical engineers across hospitals in the UK

ldquoSiemens has produced a lot of medical equipment

and has close links to medical professionals in order to

understand what they need from any particular piece of

kit The collaborative design cycle is highly impressive

and that is what we need so that the equipment can

become cheaper better more efficient more reliable

and designed for purposerdquoEngineers to the fore This lack of recognition for the work of engineers at

NHS level is replicated throughout our societyldquoPeople go to hospital they get plugged into a machine

and donrsquot give any thought to the complexity of the

device being used the need for accuracy the need

for maintenance the need for design We just take it

for granted Without the engineers none of it would

be possiblerdquo Kelly said ldquoI addressed a group of

schoolchildren in one of the networks Sony supports

recently and I was shocked to learn that 93 of school

leavers wanted to go into law or the medical profession

but only something like three or four percent wanted to

go into engineering When we drill down a little further

it is because there is a stigma around engineering and

a mistaken belief that the jobs arenrsquot sustainable The

point I made to them was unless you are standing

naked on a deserted beach at every point you are

surrounded by things that have been made so unless

we invest in engineering and manufacturing we are

going to have a problem It is fundamental - no business

could operate without engineers or manufacturers

They are the lifeblood of everything we are trying to do

Outreach Raising the profile of manufacturers is something

Kelly is passionate about In 2015 more than 1055

school children visited the Sony Medical facility in Pencoed South Wales

Each Tuesday and Thursday the factory is open to local

children for them to learn about engineering and manufacturing

ldquoWe also work with another group Engineering Education

South Wales which is purely focused on girls in industry

Sony has also launched a third initiative which is in the

pilot phase based on digital literacy My personal history

is not uncommon if you get

People go to hospital they get plugged in to a machine and donrsquot give any thought to the complexity of the device being used the need for accuracy the need for maintenance the need for design and we all take it for granted Without the engineers none of it would be possible

WHAT ELSE DO WE DO

Manufacturers remain confident although the levels have slipped

from last year when we recorded the highest proportion of positive

responses since we began the survey in 2008 In 2014 79 said they

were either ldquoveryrdquo or ldquoquiterdquo optimistic (2013 94) Last year no-

one was reported themselves as ldquovery pessimisticrdquo this year some

pessimism has returned but the number is still very small indeed

However one in five reported some level of pessimism which maybe

could be taken as a warning for the years aheadThe positive mood is supported by the fact that the UKrsquos economy

is the fastest-growing of the G7 nations and we are expected to

remain so into 2015

ECONOMY POLICY amp GROWTHFOREWORD

By Callum Bentley Editor The Manufacturer

This yearrsquos survey of manufacturers attracted responses from all areas and activities from automotive aerospace and agribusiness to plastics renewables and steel

Confidence is higher than we have seen for a number of years Levels of investment are up as are vacancies Companies are looking to the future with commitment to more plant machinery and equipment and are actively seeking the skills they need to take them forward

The Eurozone may still be struggling and that is not a good thing for the UK as the EU as a whole is our largest trading partner by far What is encouraging is that the response to challenges nearer to home has been to look further afield The drive is on to expand in existing overseas markets and to develop new ones The efforts of UKTI and UKEF seem to have been appreciated they are both rated pretty highly by those who have worked with them

Concerns about finance ndash cashflow in particular ndash are at lower levels than we have seen before The banking crisis of the last few years has had an effect though companies are more likely than ever to look beyond conventional bank loans and overdrafts for their funding

If there is a cloud on the horizon then it is about skills The connection between industry and schools was broken years ago but it has to be remade if manufacturing is to sustain high-skill high-wage activities This is a task for all parties government schools and businesses It is essential that we all work together to build a balanced economy with UK manufacturing playing a prominent and recognised role

Responses for the survey were gathered before the collapse in oil prices and the destabilising of Russiarsquos Rouble The lower oil price is two-edged it has a positive effect on industryrsquos costs from transport to heating but it also impacts on engineering and manufacturing especially on the East Coast and in Scotland

So far over the winter and into 2015 the picture has remained broadly positive Our sincere thanks to everyone who participated in the survey and to our sponsors for their support
