June Round-Up at CFM
As we reach the halfway point of 2026, June has certainly brought the sunshine! With the UK heatwave making office life just a tad warmer than usual, we have been keeping cool with plenty of ice creams. We are lucky enough to call the historic Bedale Hall our home, with our offices overlooking the beautiful Bedale Park, and with local amenities just on our doorstep, cooling off has never been easier!
Despite the soaring temperatures, it's been another busy and productive month at CFM North East, we have continued to help businesses find the best cleaning solutions.
Here's a look back at some of our June highlights.
HIRE: Why Hire is the Smart Choice for Continuous Manufacturing
For many manufacturing companies, investing in new production equipment is a significant capital commitment. Hire offers a flexible alternative, allowing businesses to access the latest manufacturing technology without the large upfront investment.
Production manufacturing environments, such as ice cream factories, biscuit production lines, and tea processing facilities, depend on reliable, high-performance equipment to keep production running efficiently.
Equipment downtime or delays in expansion can have an immediate impact on productivity and profitability. Hiring equipment provides a practical solution that enables manufacturers to respond quickly to changing production demands.
We are delighted to have a number of long term customers in our region from these type of industries.
We supply pedestrian & ride on scrubber dryers & sweepers. The right equipment enables manufacturers to maintain the high standards of cleanliness and efficiency that continuous production demands.
Industrial Vacuums: Nilfisk VHS110 Zone 22 in demand
The single phase explosion-proof industrial vacuum for your company
We have seen a flurry of customers choose the VHS110 Z22 Industrial vacuum this month, including a construction plant hire company based in Derby and a Global Lighting Solutions company based in London. The innovative single phase industrial vacuum cleaner that is suitable for ATEX Z22 locations.
Thanks to the brushless motor, this machine ensures high performance in a compact design.
The innovative PullClean system effectively cleans the antistatic star filter while the vacuum is running, without the need to stop working.
The optional HEPA14/ULPA15 upstream filter is the perfect choice when collecting fine dusts.
The modular design makes it extremely easy to service and upgrade in the field.
We have also supplied an S3 Industrial Vacuum to a family run Egg Farm based in Clun, Shropshire.
We frequently have customers who come to us for advice on hosing and tools only, as many industrial vacuum systems do require specialist components, and choosing the right hosing, tooling can make a big difference to performance, safety and efficiency. Our experienced team can help you identify the most suitable hoses, tooling and accessories for your application, ensuring you get exactly what you need the first time.

End of Year: Stocktake
It's that time of year again... stocktake!
No mean feat when you hold one of the largest cleaning equipment fleets in the country. From vacuums, scrubber dryers, sweepers, buffers, and pressure washers to thousands of spare parts and accessories, every item has to be counted, checked, and accounted for.
It's a job that takes time, teamwork, and plenty of coffee, but it's all part of ensuring our customers continue to receive the high levels of service and equipment availability they have come to expect from CFM.
Whilst stocktake might not be the most glamorous task of the year, it's one of the most important, keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes.
Here's to another successful stocktake and to keeping our fleet ready for whatever comes next!
Wayne (Head of Engineering) "If anyone's seen a scrubber dryer hiding behind the buffers, please let me know!"
Sponsorship: Fast and furious meets the Chonka rally car
At CFM, we are proud to support both our local community and charities that make a real difference. After sponsoring our local vehicle mot and repair garage it’s fantastic to see the CFM logo on the Chonka rally car, we wish Bruce and the team every success this season and look forward to following their progress.
