Hargreaves Ductwork changes name

UK: Historic Lancashire-based manufacturer Hargreaves Ductwork has changed its name to MW Hargreaves.

Founded in 1872 by Henry Hargreaves, the company was acquired in 2012 by M+W High Tech Projects UK, part of the German construction group M+W.

Recently appointed MD Andy Sneyd said: “We want to keep our strong market position and 140-year heritage. This name change allows us to do so, while looking towards the future and all the opportunity for innovation and growth it will bring.”
