MEMBER PROFILES AND THE AEMT YEARBOOK
AEMT Secretary, Thomas Marks, shares the latest news from the Association.
AS YOU WILL APPRECIATE, THIS HAS BEEN A challenging year for everyone, and the AEMT is not immune to the effects of COVID-19. At our AGM, we announced that the Association had been affected by the pandemic, but we have a robust strategy in place to ensure we see through the coming months. While we maintain as much of the AEMT’s support and delivery as we can, a lack of resources means we will not be able to produce our annual yellow yearbook, which as you can appreciate, takes a great deal of work to produce. The next edition of the AEMT Yearbook will be published in Autumn 2021. In the meantime, full and up to date details of all AEMT members are available online at www.theaemt.com/Members-Search. There you can identify repairers and suppliers by location, services provided, certificates held and other key factors. And of course, you will find details of many members within the pages of this magazine, including the repair service directory on page 45. One event that the pandemic could not derail was the annual AEMT golf day, which went ahead at the Forest of Arden golf club on a gloriously sunny
day in mid-September. Sponsored by EMiR Software, the teams made up of Association members, and their guests enjoyed the challenging Arden course before gathering for a socially distanced prize giving back at the club. I am also delighted to report that membership of the AEMT has continued to grow, with six companies recognising the value of joining the association since our last publication – the final issue of the Journal. We have two new associate members. The first is the specialist manufacturer of pumps and pumping systems for the water supply and air conditioning sectors, Wilo UK. Also signing up as an associate member is Northern Ireland-based sheet metal fabricator, JMS Metaltec. Three new international members have joined our ranks. Iberica Electrical is a South African specialist in marine and industrial repairs based in Cape Town. Kazakhstan based KTR (KazTurboRemont) provides a full range of services, from design to commissioning, to the oil and gas, energy, chemical and mining industries. And PT Mega Prakarsa Engineering provides a range of maintenance and repair services for motors and generators across its native Indonesia. Then in the UK, new full member, Hoss Engineering, offers repair and refurbishment of electric motors, pumps, cooling towers, air handling units, extract fans and also supplies of new equipment, including new pressurisation units and booster sets, from its Chelmsford site. I want to welcome all our new members and of course, to thank our existing members for their continued support, especially in this challenging period.
