Veronica Edmunds, business development manager at Haitian - Premier Moulding Machinery, reflects on the changing landscape for moulders in recent – and not-so-recent –times.

As we pass the 1st anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine it is natural to look back on a turbulent year for the economy, households and businesses.

Some changes in life are gradual, the newly aching knees, the stronger glasses prescription, the slipping down the leagues of once great teams. We get time to adjust to the new reality of age or fading form and it makes it easier to accept. But the modern world is fast paced, instant access, full connectivity, no time to waste, in your face.

So, when Russian tanks moved on Kiev, we discovered first that it was called Kyiv, and secondly that the World economy was a fragile structure. We needed Ukrainian grain and Russian gas to keep the wheels turning, and our mortgage rates low. Who knew?

JC Moulding is a small but fast growing business so as general manager, Marshall is used to fulfilling many roles within the business. “It was genuinely great to have a supplier who brought expert knowledge and insights to us, without wanting to charge us for it”, he added.

The energy savings alone from the new Haitian machine were greater than the finance JC Moulding paid on it each month. “We literally had more cash in the bank from day one, and our first new machine”. Phil credits this lightbulb moment with transforming his outlook on the business. “We now have 12 Haitian machines, all saving us money on power, spares, servicing and scrap. We have been able to reinvest the money in the business and the changes have generated even more work”.
