Every year, The British Chamber of Commerce Shanghai (BritCham Shanghai), sponsors the Business Entrepreneur of the Year award, which goes to the individual who has shown the most extraordinary spirit, perseverance and independent thought to overcome adversity and obstacles.
Malcolm Staff , Managing Director of the Halifax Fan headquartered in Brighouse, and with two successful factories in China, has been shortlisted in the Entrepreneur of the Year category of the British Business Awards 2020 to be hosted by The British Chamber of Commerce Shanghai (BritCham Shanghai).
Halifax Fan has appointed an award winning, leading manufacturer of a broad range of centrifugal and axial flow fans to service the African market for sales and service of Halifax fans.
There’s no question that quality drives growth in any business and it’s no different in the design and manufacture of top quality industrial fans. Thirteen years ago, following demand from the burgeoning Chinese market, Halifax Fan identified China and SE Asia as having huge potential for its industrial fans and opened its first Chinese factory in Shenzhen, just across the border from Hong Kong. Growth has been spectacular with demand outstripping capacity.
Former CEO of General Motors Corporation , Alfred P. Sloan said: “you can take all my assets but if you just leave my organization with me, I can make back all my lost assets in five years.” Clearly his experience is that a company’s people are its most valuable asset.
Halifax Fan globally has many employees dedicated to the design and manufacture of industrial fans.
Today Halifax Fan celebrated the retirement of Michael Rothwell. Skilled sheet-metal worker Mick, affectionately known as ‘Rozzer’, has been a key part of our fabrication team for 28 years.
For the past four years at our Halifax Fan headquarters in Brighouse, we have been investing in our future UK manufacturing base by employing engineering apprentices.
