Celebrating Excellence: Toby Wins the Rising Star Award at the Business Awards!

At Mawdsleys Pumps Services, we are beyond proud to share some fantastic news: our very own Toby has won the prestigious Rising Star Award at the Business Awards!

This award is a well-deserved recognition of Toby’s exceptional dedication, sharp problem-solving skills, and unstoppable work ethic. To top it all off, Toby recently completed his apprenticeship, passing with a Distinction—a testament to the high standards and passion he brings to work every single day.

Hard Work, Big Impact

Throughout his apprenticeship, Toby hasn’t just been learning the ropes—he’s been making a tangible impact on massive, high-stakes engineering projects. Two standouts in particular highlight why he caught the judges’ attention:

Reviving an Obsolete Pump with 3D Printing

When an important pump required parts that were no longer manufactured or available on the market, Toby took the initiative and ran with it. His skills with 3D printing were key in the restoration of an obsolete heritage asset for Cirencester Swimming Pool. 👉 Read the 3D Printing Obsolete Pump Case Study here

Why Apprenticeships Are at the Heart of Mawdsleys Pumps Services

Toby’s success is a shining example of why we believe so strongly in modern apprenticeships. Investing in home-grown talent isn’t just part of our strategy—it’s in our DNA.

We don’t view apprenticeships as a temporary placement; we view them as the foundation of our future workforce. Toby is now the third apprentice to successfully complete their training with us and transition into a permanent, full-time role on our team.

And our commitment to developing the next generation of engineers doesn’t stop here. We’re excited to welcome our newest apprentice, who will be joining the Mawdsleys BER team this coming September!

Congratulations, Toby!

Winning the Rising Star Award while achieving a Distinction in his apprenticeship is a massive milestone. Toby is an outstanding guy, a talented colleague, and an essential part of our future.

Please join all of us at Mawdsleys in giving Toby a huge congratulations on this incredible achievement! We can’t wait to see what he accomplishes next.

Asset Management Systems: A Pillar of Quality Service

In the world of pump maintenance, certainty is everything. Buildings depend on their pumps the way a city depends on its water supply—quietly, constantly, and critically. And behind that reliability is a tool most people never see: an asset management system.

At Mawdsleys Pump Services, ours is powered by EMiR, the industry-leading system that turns maintenance into a precise, data-driven science.

What Is an Asset Management System?

Think of an asset management system as a living archive for all rotating electrical assets (booster sets, pressurisation units, submersible pumps, air handling units, circulation pumps and motors). Instead of scattered paperwork and fading memory, EMiR captures the entire lifecycle of your equipment—installations, site photos, service reports, notes, components, and future schedules.

In short: It keeps every detail, of every asset, perfectly organised and instantly accessible.

This foundation is what makes everything else possible.

1. A Unique Identity for Every Asset

Every system we install or service receives a unique asset number—a digital fingerprint that unlocks its entire history. With a quick scan, engineers can see:

  • Previous service reports
  • Photographs and notes
  • Location specifics
  • Past issues and recommendations

This saves time and avoids repeated or unnecessary work.

2. Built for Every Customer, Not Just Big Estates

Most systems like this are designed for sprawling commercial sites. Ours isn’t. This ensures all customers—from small property owners to estate managers responsible for multiple buildings—benefit from: consistent records, simpler servicing, and a clear picture of your full asset portfolio.

3. Compliance That Manages Itself

Once the service is completed, EMIR sends you the report and automatically schedules the next service to ensure:

  • No missed assets.
  • No forgotten inspections.
  • No compliance headaches.

And if you ever need a report—from last month, or last decade—we can retrieve and resend it in minutes.

4. Predictive, Cost-Saving Maintenance

By analysing the full history of each unit, EMiR helps us identify patterns and predict future issues. This lets us fix problems before they cause downtime.

The result: fewer emergencies, better system performance, and lower costs.

Final Thoughts

By partnering with Mawdsleys Pump services you receive the benefits of a robust asset management system which supports your safety, compliance and efficiency goals. It helps us deliver a streamlined, data-driven service that makes life easier for you—while protecting the performance and longevity of your equipment.
