Wernick Power Solutions celebrates the Grand Opening of its flagship Walsall Depot
Wernick Power Solutions is proud to announce the successful opening of its new 2-acre flagship Walsall Depot, located at Vigo Place. Held on Wednesday, 21st and Thursday, 22nd May, the event welcomed an esteemed group of suppliers, valued and prospective customers, and key stakeholders. Attendees were provided with a comprehensive showcase of the innovative power solutions and sustainability initiatives that are at the heart of Wernick Power Solutions, driving the future of the temporary power industry.
Over the two days, the event marked a pivotal moment in Wernick Power Solutions’ growth and commitment to excellence. In addition to unveiling the new depot, guests had the opportunity to explore two state-of-the-art facilities: the Centre of Excellence and the Power Optimisation Centre. These provisions are designed to enhance product offerings and solidify Wernick Power’s leadership in sustainable temporary power solutions.
The Centre of Excellence stands as an innovative training facility, providing staff and customers with valuable, hands-on education in the temporary power sector. Meanwhile, the Power Optimisation Centre, located within the depot offices, serves as a dynamic live data hub for the business information specialists, enabling fleet performance monitoring, delivering detailed sustainability reports, and optimising customer and project performance to ensure maximum carbon reduction.
A highlight of the event was the ribbon-cutting ceremony, presided over by the Mayor of Walsall, Louise Harrison, alongside David Wernick, Chairman of the Wernick Group. Throughout both days, guests had the opportunity to explore a comprehensive range of power products from Wernick Power Solutions, as well as offerings from sister company, Wernick Hire. Attendees also gained invaluable insights into the ongoing commitment to sustainability. A standout feature was a series of presentations from JCB, one of Wernick’s trusted suppliers, who showcased the latest advancements in hydrogen-powered generators and discussed the power industry’s pivotal role in developing greener, more sustainable solutions for customers.
In keeping with the Wernick tradition of hospitality, guests were treated to a variety of catering options and were also entered into a prize draw. Prizes included a JCB factory tour, tickets to the GB3 and GB4 championships, an iPad, two premium tickets to see Robbie Williams and much more.
The opening of the Walsall Depot is more than just a business milestone; it is a powerful testament to the shared commitment to building a sustainable future for customers. With the ongoing support of our customers, suppliers, and the local community, Wernick Power Solutions remains at the forefront of power optimisation, delivering innovative, environmentally responsible solutions to the power industry.
Nick Crane, Managing Director, commented “I was delighted that so many of our customers, prospective customers, suppliers, colleagues and friends could attend. It was great to have Louise Harrison, Mayor, take the time out of her busy week to visit and spend it with us, on what was only day 3 of her appointment.
In addition, it was also great to welcome Louise Hazel, Chair of AMPS, and Alan Beech, Director General of AMPS. It’s rare that we have the opportunity to bring AMPS to our doorstep, even though they work so hard in the background, leading the way in the Power industry.”
Wernick would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended, supported, and contributed to the success of our grand opening. Special thanks to Western Global and Groundhog, who generously sponsored the event, and our other key suppliers who made everything such a success.
