Hugo Technology sees year-on-year growth

19 April 2013

Despite continuing uncertainty within the UK economy, medical technology repair and maintenance firm, Hugo Technology, has continued to go from strength-strength during 2012, building on its success of 2011.

The Midlands-based company employs over 40 people across the UK, servicing medical devices and equipment for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) both at home and across Europe.

The business has seen its turnover increased by 15% to £2.1 million, up from £1.8 million in 2011 with several new contracts already secured in 2013. A key element of its success is through working in partnership with its clients during the past 12 months to either renew or extend existing contracts.

This has led to an increase in staff to ensure it continues to deliver a world-class service, including an acute renal engineer and a respiratory expert.

Hugo has also added a quality controller to its team to ensure that the global OEM client base, including Philips and Nutricia, continues to rely on its world-class service standards both to ISO 9001 and ISO 13485. Warwick Oakey, joint managing director at Hugo Technology, says: “Medical Technology is continuing to grow with pace and with it is the need for talented specialists that can service equipment to the highest levels.

“There have certainly been challenges in 2012, especially ensuring we had the engineers in place once a new contract had been secured.
“Continued growth has also led to investment in a new facility which represents our aspirations and reflects our presence in the marketplace which is continually growing,” says Warwick.
