Built on Engineering.
Run as a Family.
We fix packaging machines, keep them running and supply the consumables they need. Engineer-led, OEM independent, UK-wide.
Started by an engineer.
Grown through trust.
Founded in 2006. Still the same business, same standards, same people picking up the phone.
Kevin started his career at Signode, learning strapping machines from the inside. When he moved to Hertfordshire, the phone kept ringing. Former customers, new contacts, all with the same question: "Can you come and look at this?"
Eventually, the answer became a business. HPS started as a sole trader in 2006, built on word-of-mouth from customers who knew they were getting an engineer who knew their machines. We became a Ltd company in 2023.
Ryan joined as an apprentice in 2017, with Callum coming on board in 2024. The business is still small by design - when you call, you'll speak to someone who actually knows your account.
We're not tied to any machine manufacturer, and we plan to keep it that way.
The people who
fix your machines.
Kevin
Kevin learnt his craft over many years, starting with his first apprenticeship at Signode. His expertise on all things strapping and wrapping related means he can diagnose root causes and implement long-term fixes effectively.
HPS grew out of his reputation. Customers kept calling and eventually the answer was to make it official. His decades of experience are very hard to replicate and his vision to train the next generation of engineers is realised in Ryan and Callum's ongoing growth.
Kevin covers Hertfordshire and the Home Counties, Greater London, East Midlands, East Anglia and Kent, Surrey and Sussex.
Ryan
Ryan joined as an apprentice under Kevin in 2017 and learnt the trade on real machines. Strapping machines are his territory and he's built serious knowledge across the major brands.
Customers credit Ryan with improving their own engineers' knowledge, and he's always happy to show a maintenance team what he's found.
Ryan covers Telford and Shropshire, North West England and North Wales.
Callum
Callum joined in 2024 and has built real confidence quickly - particularly on pallet wrappers and tabletop strappers. He's gaining ground on the bigger, more complex kit every week.
HPS has always believed in developing engineers the right way: on real machines, with experienced people alongside them.
Callum covers Birmingham and the West Midlands, Worcestershire and Herefordshire and South Wales.
Three things that don't change.
Advice based on the machine
Every recommendation - repair route, service plan, consumables spec - starts with what the machine needs. We built the business on that.
Independent of the manufacturers
No OEM ties, no manufacturer loyalty. We support all major brands and our advice reflects that.
Clear reporting, every time
Every visit ends with a written report - what we found, what we did, what caused it and what to watch for. You should know what's happening to your machines before the invoice arrives.
