Visitors to the Roger Dyson headquarters in Droitwich will have seen a few changes, first the addition of a hydraulic workshop, but more recently, the addition of in-house CNC facilities.
The Dyson attention to quality extends to all suppliers of parts for his vehicles.
For many years local company Mountfield CNC Ltd provided a variety of CNC milled parts across the range of Dyson vehicles. When presented with the opportunity for Roger to acquire the business, 18 months ago, it was an easy decision to bring the operation in-house.
It was decided to extend the hydraulic building in the Dyson main showroom to accommodate the CNC tooling, providing a clean, modern environment to service the company’s requirements whilst still maintaining the experience and skills of the Mountfield business and hosing the vast array of equipment.
Shop manager, Michelle Williams, daughter, of Phil Dix, founder of Mountfield CNC, has over 30 years of experience in the CNC industry, so was the obvious choice to manage the workshop.
Michelle said, “We had been producing parts for Roger since 1983 with the work taking up more and more of our production time, when the opportunity came to move to Dyson it was an easy decision to make.”
The type of parts made in the workshop varies depending on the vehicle production schedule, but include wear pads, articulation pins, top and bottom collars, carriage pivot pins and winch post kits.
Roger himself is extremely pleased with how the Mountfield company has integrated into the Dyson operation:
Roger said, “The demand for Dyson vehicles has never been higher, which has a knock-on effect for all our suppliers. I’ve been working with RD Mountfield for many years, Michelle and her team work to a high standard like ourselves. With them now owned and working solely for Dyson we have more control and flexibility over parts which can only benefit Dyson customers new and old.”
