Brown & Holmes Launches New Website And Brochure
Brown & Holmes has launched a new brochure and website as part of a new marketing drive designed to boost awareness within the UK and on an international basis.
The brochure has been re-designed to reflect the wide range of workholding products and services that the company now offers.
The Brown & Holmes website has also been re-launched with an improved structure, new look and new content; all designed to make the site more user-friendly and informative. While the information on the site has been updated and expanded, navigation around the site has also been greatly simplified.
Both marketing tools have been redesigned to more effectively showcase the vast Brown & Holmes range of workholding products services, including its sole UK agency agreement for the supply of Forkhardt workholding standard and special rotary power chucks, expanding mandrels and steady rest packages.
The revamped brochure and website also contain more detailed information on the design, manufacturing, support and installation services offered by this Tamworth-based company.
Carl Baker, Brown & Holmes Director, said: "We receive enquiries from customers throughout the world and we know that our website and brochure are key sales tools so we wanted to make sure they were as up-to-date and customer-friendly as possible."

Brown & Holmes is also currently sponsoring two previous apprentices in their studies towards Mechanical Engineering Degrees.
Carl Baker, Brown & Holmes Director, said: "Like many in this company, I started as an apprentice and it is definitely the best way for a business to train, and then keep, skilled engineers."
Brown & Holmes Takes Delivery Of Large Capacity Devlieg
Brown & Holmes has recently taken delivery of a Devlieg 3H-72 Jigmill. This investment has substantially increased the company's machining capacity from 1220mm x 920mm x 406mm up to 1828mm x 1524mm x 406mm.
Brown & Holmes offers a complete workholding solution to customers and the Devlieg, which was installed in August, has already had an impact on the company’s production capabilities.
Carl Baker, Brown & Holmes Director, said: "We are now able to machine, in-house, a larger range of fabrications and castings for fixtures rather than looking to subcontract these services."
