30 | UK Enterprise Awards 2022 Independent welding equipment supplier, AIP Welding Supplies Ltd, is working hard to preserve and grow the knowledge and skills of the welding industry. Founded in 2015, AIP Welding Supplies has built a solid reputation based on industry expertise and customer-focused service. When it comes to welding and the people within the industry there are few more passionate than Kim Hunt. The co-founder and managing director of AIP Welding Supplies started working as a fabricator/welder back in 2006. Kim gained almost 10 years of industry experience before he set up AIP Welding Supplies in Bridgwater. Since then, the Somersetbased company has gone from strength to strength. Providing an extensive range of welding and cutting equipment from industry-leading brands, AIP Welding Supplies is confident that its clients will find its range of products to be durable and reliable. As well as stocking some of the most recognised brands in the market, AIP Welding Supplies manufactures its own products including its own branded MIG machines too. Mindful of its customers’ varying requirements and budgetary constraints, the AIP Welding Supplies range takes every client into account. From light, hobbyist applications through to heavy industrial use, AIP Welding Supplies caters for everyone. Of course, not everyone needs welding equipment all the time. Or if they do, the equipment needed may vary dependent on the individual project. That’s where AIP Welding Supplies rental services come to the fore. Having worked at the cutting edge of the industry, Kim and his team understand the importance of providing flexible and cost-effective rental options. He tells us, “It can be expensive to repair and maintain equipment. When renting through us, our qualified engineers ensure all equipment is regularly serviced. We carry out repairs in-house too. This ensures any downtime is kept to an absolute minimum”. AIP Welding Supplies provides training too. From start-up sessions to advanced coding and procedure certificates, AIP Welding Supplies trains individuals and small groups. This ensures that every trainee has plenty of time with the tutor. The company also offers 2 hours of complimentary training to clients purchasing a new machine. As with any customer-obsessed business, the staff are central to its success. AIP Welding Services currently has three permanent members of staff and defines its values as being caring in what it does, being capable in what it offers and being content with the service it provides. Reading the host of 5-star reviews on the company website, adding ‘nothing is too much trouble’ to the list seems apt. As for the future, AIP Welding Services will be looking for more ways to support and delight its growing customer base. On Thursday 30th June 2022, the company hosts its ‘biggest Open Day yet’. Combining equipment demos, tips and tricks sessions, supplier stalls and sneak peeks of new technologies, the team are promising a fun day for all the family too.
