New beginnings ### Nokes Foundry established under new ownership Mr Charles Nokes, Foundry Manager and Mr Roy Tanner, a local businessman purchase the foundry from Evans Electroselenium and Nokes Foundry is created. Growth and investment ### New investment and modernisation Colin Richer, invests into Nokes Foundry, which was the start of a long and successful partnership with Roy Tanner. There is a gradual transformation over the next decade. Old technology is retired and new installed. The first CNC machine is purchased in 1985. Quality and expansion ### Quality standards established First full quality manual written and BS5750 accreditation gained. The largest and most significant acquisition was made of Maycast Precision Products, a well-established, family run business, founded in 1967 and one of the forerunners of the UK investment casting industry. Transformation ### Amalgamation and move to Halstead Nokes Foundry and Maycast Precision Products were amalgamated forming the company we know today – Maycast-Nokes Precision Engineering. In 1998 the manufacture of investment castings was moved from Hitchin in Hertfordshire to Halstead in Essex. Accreditations ### Nadcap approvals awarded by PRI November 2006: Nadcap accreditation for Non Destructive Testing awarded by PRI. May 2009: Nadcap accreditation for Heat Treatment & Mechanical testing awarded by PRI. Apprenticeship recognition ### National recognition for apprenticeship excellence In 2016 Maycast-Nokes became the first foundry to be listed in the Top 100 National Apprenticeship Employers list. This was followed by recognition at regional and national levels in 2017 and in 2019 we reached the final of the UK National Apprenticeship Awards after winning the East of England regional award. Leadership transition ### Management buyout ensures continued independence After 37 years at the helm Colin & Lyn Richer retire following a management buyout by Steve Wallings, Derek Redgwell and Dave Blower. This will guarantee the stability of the company and maintain the company’s continued independence and ability to supply high quality castings. Local plating company ### Maycast-Nokes purchase Braintree Electroplaters This is a significant and strategic addition to Maycast’s capabilities and completes our total supply chain solution offering.
