Hayward Tyler Ltd support the new Luton Rising proposal. Our company manufactures pumps and motors for energy sector markets, including nuclear, oil and gas and clean energy, with customers across the globe. We have a long heritage in the UK and first located our manufacturing facilities in Luton in the late 19th century. Our base in Luton has 68,000 square feet of manufacturing space and employs 115 people including more than 20 highly specialised engineers. Hayward Tyler also has a smaller manufacturing facility in East Kilbride, Scotland, as well as major design and manufacturing sites in the United States, India and China. Hayward Tyler considers our location in Luton to be highly beneficial due to its proximity to the airport and surface access transport which allows the company to connect to our customers across the UK. The airport is particularly beneficial to us for a variety of reasons - it facilitates quick and convenient travel regularly for staff between locations in Ireland, our manufacturing site in Scotland as well as occasional field services visits to customers in Europe. The airport also acts as a highly beneficial selling point when trying to recruit skilled workers, inclusive of university graduates for our Luton site. As a company, Hayward Tyler acknowledges the benefits of future growth at Luton Airport, enhancing access to international connectivity, particularly Europe and the US where for example connections to east coast US destinations will facilitate improved access to the Vermont and Michigan design and manufacturing sites.
