A Fareham factory recently celebrated a milestone with a visit from its founding directors.

Elta, a leader in air movement solutions, welcomed John Snape and Roger Crook to mark its 50th anniversary.

Founded in 1974, the company has evolved from a small startup producing specific types of fans to manufacturing a diverse range of ventilation solutions.

To coincide with its anniversary, Elta rebranded from 'Elta Fans' to 'Elta' at the start of the year.

Damian Buxton, CEO of Elta UK, said: "It has been a pleasure welcoming John and Roger back to Elta this year, and it was fantastic to hear them recount their stories and incredible success with the current team.

"Their return came at a pivotal time as we celebrate our 50th anniversary and look ahead to the next chapter of our journey. They truly pioneered the way with their entrepreneurialism."

The founders expressed enthusiasm about returning to the purpose-built factory and reuniting with long-serving staff members.
