In 1973, Sir David McMurtry and John Deer founded global engineering technologies company, Renishaw. To celebrate its 50th anniversary, Renishaw subsidiaries around the globe hosted a variety of events and activities throughout 2023 involving many stakeholders, including customers and employees.
As part of these celebrations, in the UK, the company welcomed employees and their relatives to special Gloucestershire and South Wales open days held at its New Mills and Miskin sites respectively. The events provided a unique opportunity for guests to experience Renishaw's world-class facilities and view its cutting-edge products in action, with informative demonstrations conducted by experts across various business divisions.
From captivating science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) activities for younger audiences, to a classic car show and sporting challenges run by partner organisations Cardiff Rugby and Forest Green Rovers FC, the open days showcased the innovation and community spirit that has defined Renishaw for five decades. Renishaw's Edinburgh research office also celebrated the anniversary in style with their very own office band which played hit songs from 1973 including Elton John, Stealers Wheel and Stevie Wonder.
In 2023 we celebrated the achievements of our co-founders, plus past and present employees, who have contributed significantly to global advances in precision manufacturing, said Will Lee, Renishaw's CEO. Whilst this landmark year has now ended, we're looking forward with confidence to another half-century of innovation and sustainable growth.
