Final Video Release by High School Work Experience Colleague Jack

Posted a little later than originally planned, we are really pleased with the final video created by Smestow School work experience colleague Jack during his work placement with us based on the history  & origins of Hague Fasteners Limited.

His inspiration for this video was Hague Fasteners founder Jack Hague’s origins in the industrial area around Sheffield in North England, leading to the creation and development of the company in the English Midlands city of Wolverhampton, which was back in 1971 part of Staffordshire.

The fledgling company of Hague Fasteners soon developed during the 1970s and 1980s into a global powerhouse of  fastener manufacturing and the video leads on to explore this proud tradition of producing custom fasteners for the UK Home Countries as well as for export to a wide range of industries around the world.

What an amazing tribute from one Jack to another.

The world has changed a lot since 1971.  Some industries have almost disappeared (Ship building), newer industries have been created (Renewable Energies in the Power Generation sector), but whatever your industry or location in the world we are here to assist you with any enquiry you may have for special fasteners. 

Please contact us today with your RFQs for any special fastener in any of the wide range of materials commercially available.

New Video Released – Another Great Design By Work Experience Team Member!

Further to the great work already published by Jack H, our Year 10 work experience colleague from Smestow School, we are very proud to release Jack’s second video creation.

 The aim of this video is to highlight all the industries that use our custom fasteners with examples of the typical materials and bolts that are used in each industry.  We have been very pleased with the creativity shown by the 14 year old.

Enjoy and please remember to look out for Jack’s final video project later!



Working with Wolverhampton Schools Work Experience Placements
