Letter from the President

Froude  Update 

I'm delighted to share some exciting news about the future of Froude. Our journey has been nothing short of remarkable, and I couldn't be prouder of what we've achieved together. As we stand today, Froude is thriving – our growth trajectory is strong, our profitability is robust, and our order book is healthy. Most importantly, our dedicated team members are fully engaged and focused on delivering success.

The path to growth often requires us to embrace change and welcome new talent into our family. Our UK and US facilities are actively expanding their teams, seeking individuals who are eager to take on new challenges, problem-solve, and drive us forward. This commitment to growth has been a hallmark of our success.

Over the past few years, we've weathered the challenges of the pandemic and emerged even stronger. Despite the turbulent industry environment, our product offerings have expanded, and our capabilities and capacities have grown. The future of Froude shines bright.

With this, I've made the heartfelt decision to embark on the next chapter of my life. I joined Froude in June of 2016, and it's been an incredible journey. As of September 30th, I will be transitioning into retirement. However, my connection to Froude won't end there. From October through December, I will remain engaged as a part-time advisor, offering my support and insights.

I have full confidence that Froude is in capable hands. We are fortunate to have Mr. Andy Mason, a dedicated 20+ year employee, step into the role. Andy has successfully led both Engineering and Operations, possessing a deep understanding of our technology and Froude's unique culture. Challenges may lie ahead, but I'm certain that Andy will excel in steering Froude toward an even brighter future. Please join me in extending a warm welcome to him as he takes the reins.

For all our valued partners and customers, please rest assured that very little will change in our commitment to excellence. Our unwavering focus on engineering and quality remains steadfast, as does our dedication to providing a well-balanced environment for our employees. Should you have any questions or require assistance, both Mr. Mason and I are readily available to support you. Your business and support over the past several years have been the cornerstone of our success, and we are committed to working tirelessly to ensure that we provide you with the best possible timing and pricing to meet your testing application needs.

As I prepare to transition into retirement, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible journey we've shared together. Thank you for your unwavering support, dedication, and partnership. Together, we've accomplished great things, and I have every confidence that Froude's future will be even more extraordinary under Andy Mason’s leadership.

Sincerely, 

Andy Sadlon
Froude President
