The people behind Haden Freeman

Haden Freeman Ltd has developed into a major multi-disciplinary engineering resource for all of the process industries.

What makes us different?

Since we started up in 1985 we have enjoyed the ethos of a family company and we love our people to be able to express themselves and enjoy coming to work. Our team operates within a friendly, supportive and vibrant culture of continuous learning and improvement.

We’re committed to delivering engineering excellence and believe strongly in collaborative partnership working.

Our clients value our depth and breadth of multi-disciplinary engineering skills, our open, honest and friendly approach and our ability to flex and bend with them in accordance with their constantly changing business needs.

We’ve been a private business for over 35 years.

Our founder John Freeman’s ideas and values have been passed from MD to MD and owner to owner. We still retain John’s original entrepreneurial spirit.

We are still a family owned business and can make decisions without bureaucracy. We are easy and enjoyable to work with.

Long term – our people stay put at Haden Freeman – many with over ten years in our team.

We try to keep everyone engaged with what’s going on whenever we can.

We focus on superior customer service. From our initial proposal through to our final service delivery, all our customers are treated like our only customer.

We continually try to improve our processes to deliver better results. Our aim is to get to your solution faster and more accurately whilst always providing better value than our competitors.

We are true experts in our field.

We celebrate our successes.
