The end of an ERA
Thursday, 26 March 2026
NEMA bids farewell to a founder of our EMA department!

Yesterday we bid fair well to the last of the original EMA folk to join us from over the border!

With the complications of (then) Goodrich moving premises down south from Bradford and the lengthy commute resulting in a loss of skilled labour, an agreement was struck between NEMA and Goodrich, based on our existing experience with lamination manufacture. As part of this and along with Dave Hardy, Darren joined us here in Rochdale, helping pave the way for NEMA's winding division and being instrumental in making the company what it is today.

Needless to say Darren will be missed and we are greatful for his expertise and experience which, not only, helped NEMA grow but also tutored a new generation, ensuring NEMA can continue to design, develop, wind and manufacture motors and actuators for it's diverse and valued customer base.

Thank you Darren and all the best for the years ahead!
