Teamwork, Grit, and Premium MRO: Company Ambassador Mark Crossley Visits Howcroft HQ! ⚽️⚙️

What a new-week boost at Howcroft Group! Today, we welcomed our friend and official Company Ambassador, former pro footballer Mark Crossley, to site for a brilliant catch-up with our MD, Allan Howcroft.

Mark went straight into the thick of it, touring our trade counter, checking in with our office team, and heading out to the warehouse floor to get hands-on with our extensive Megadyne power transmission lines and premium bearing stock from FAG, INA, and ISB.

Standing next to our heritage wall, it was a great reminder of how far we’ve come—from Allan starting the business with just £1,000, a Nokia 3210, and a white Vauxhall Astra, to a multi-million-pound industrial MRO leader.
Whether it's on the football pitch or managing critical supply chains for heavy industry, the rules for success are exactly the same: relentless work ethic, absolute reliability, and incredible teamwork.

More about Howcroft’s Ambassador: Mark Crossley
Before stepping into corporate ambassadorship, Mark Crossley built a legendary career at the absolute pinnacle of British football. As an elite professional goalkeeper spanning over two decades, Mark made more than 300 appearances for Nottingham Forest under the iconic Brian Clough, playing in both FA Cup and League Cup Finals.

A full Wales International, Mark's illustrious career in the top flights also saw him feature prominently for Middlesbrough, Fulham, and Sheffield Wednesday, earning a reputation for incredible resilience, sharp reflexes, and commanding leadership from the back. Notably, he holds the legendary distinction of being the only goalkeeper to ever save a penalty from Premier League maestro Matt Le Tissier.

Mark commented:
"Seeing what Allan and the team have built here from such humble beginnings is incredibly inspiring. The grit, work ethic, and teamwork required to scale a business to this level is nothing short of magnificent and not to dissimilar to what the team and I created at Nottingham Forest under the iconic Brian Clough. I am incredibly proud to represent Howcroft Group as Company Ambassador."

Great to have you on site, Mark! We are proud to have you championing the Howcroft name. 🙌

💨 RAPID RESPONDING. ISO STANDARD. NORGREN INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION AT THE HUB.

In high-cycle pneumatic automation, a sluggish valve isn't just a minor issue - it's a direct bottleneck to your plant's throughput.
This morning at the Howcroft Group hub, our team is packaging a high-performance automation solution for immediate customer dispatch:

🕹️ The Valve: A Norgren SXE9575-A71-00K ISO Star Solenoid Valve (ISO Size 3, 5/2, Solenoid Pilot/Spring Return). Built with Norgren’s special low-friction spool technology, it is engineered for millions of predictable cycles without fading.
🔩 The Foundation: The Norgren MP19132 Sub-Base (1 Station, ISO G Thread, NPT). This rugged sub-base provides optimal flow characteristics and a rock-solid mechanical platform for zero-leak performance.

The Howcroft Blueprint: > We don’t just box-shift pneumatic components. We look at the entire circuit - from air preparation and filtration to final-mile actuation. Backed by our £2.5M live inventory, we keep the air flowing and your downtime at absolute zero.

📐 GERMAN ENGINEERING. UNRIVALLED ENDURANCE. FAG BEARINGS IN STOCK AT HOWCROFT.

When a heavy-duty production line faces extreme radial and axial forces, there is zero room for an "average" component.

This morning at the Howcroft Group hub, our logistics team is preparing a major consignment of premium FAG Spherical Roller Bearings for a customer critical plant deployment.

The FAG (Schaeffler) Advantage: In the world of high-torque, severe-service MRO, FAG represents the gold standard of rolling element technology:

✅ X-life Quality: Delivering up to 70% longer service life and significantly higher dynamic load ratings under harsh conditions.

✅ Thermal Stability: Engineered to run cooler, reducing friction and preserving lubrication life.

✅ Extreme Precision: Maximizing system efficiency while eliminating the micro-vibrations that cause premature failure.

The Howcroft Blueprint: > We don’t just supply premium bearings; we wrap them in protection. By integrating these elite components with our Condition Monitoring telemetry and Critical Spares scheduling, we ensure your rotating assets are optimized for the long haul.

Don’t let a worn bearing turn into an emergency breakdown. Upgrade your plant to the FAG standard.

📊 THE HIDDEN TAX ON YOUR PRODUCTION LINE.

Unplanned motor failure doesn’t just cost you a motor. It’s an "unplanned tax" on your entire facility.
Most Maintenance Managers can track their spares spend, but few can quantify the true cost of a single unplanned stoppage last quarter:
📉 Lost output & throughput.
🚨 Emergency call-out premiums.
✈️ Expedited logistics for parts.
🕓 Compounded overtime.
The failure isn't the disaster—the lack of warning is.

Howcroft Condition Monitoring replaces guesswork with live telemetry. By tracking vibration, temperature, and current data continuously, we give you the foresight to fix a motor weeks before it takes your operation down.
Prove the ROI yourself: > We’ve built a Reliability Calculator for this exact purpose. Plug in your motor count and average downtime costs—we’ll give you a real-time GBP savings figure and a CO₂ reduction estimate.
Transparent data. No sales call required to see your numbers.
