About Us
Movetech UK was established in 1959 as Bolton Turntable Co Ltd, by Bolton businessman John C Entwistle

Movetech UK was initially founded in 1959 as Bolton Turntable Co Ltd, by the late John C Entwistle, who was very well-known in Bolton and throughout the northwest.

John, a Bolton businessman, worked hard to build the business, and was extremely committed to putting Bolton on the business map, which he did a great job of, helping his, and many other businesses and individuals along the way.

A single request for a car turntable, in a Bolton showroom, was the first turntable to be produced – and even though this was a novel idea at the time, even Worldwide, the company has certainly prospered and evolved significantly ever since.

With a vast product range now offering over 200 off-the-shelf products, in addition to a wide range of bespoke industrial movement solutions – the company has certainly prospered over the last 60+ years.

A family run business, in the heart of Bolton (UK), with over 60 years of British manufacturing success!

As a family run business, in the heart of Bolton, we have never rested on our laurels, and have always strived to improve everything we do, because we strongly believe growing and sustaining a successful business, especially for over 60 years, takes more than just passion and pride alone.

The company is now run by John’s son, Tim Entwistle (Managing Director), alongside his brother Russell Entwistle (Operations Director) and Technical Sales Director; Craig Wright – with a team of dedicated and talented professionals behind them.

Our longevity and success in business mirrors our ability to understand and anticipate the needs of customers and clients, revolutionising and adapting to the environments around us, in response to a continuously changing World.

60+ years of manufacturing success is built on a strong foundation of six core values. ‘Family values’ is one of the principles we strongly stand by, and we believe these values in unison are essential to realising our vision and can only be achieved when every key value is rooted throughout every level of the business.

Exporting started in 1965, and since then we have exported and delivered to more than 145 different countries including Ireland, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Saudi Arabia, UAE, America, Asia and Australia, to name but a few – even to the top of a snowy French mountain on the odd occasion (seriously).

Unrivalled industry knowledge coupled with over 60 years experience working with some of the World’s leading commercial and most demanding industrial organisations, often working to strictly imposed quality standards, has ensured that the products produced are that of an exceptionally high standard and quality.

Our team of talented designers and exceptionally skilled engineers ensure that we continually develop and produce an extensive range of high quality products for our customers all over the World.

Offering a diverse product range – from retail display movement to bespoke industrial solutions

Whilst turntables for heavy industrial through to light display use still form the core of the business, a range of additions to our portfolio, including Hovair air film technology and JUNG lifting equipment, has provided us with the means to provide the optimum solution to any industrial or commercial movement problem.

We work with with a wide range of industry leaders including Lendlease, MACE, Rolls Royce, JLR, IKEA, ASDA, Waitrose and M&S to name but a few.

Our retail display movements units have helped bring a wide range of retail displays to life and have featured in many well-known department stores such as Hamleys, Selfridges, Lego, Schuh, Silver Cross and many, many more. In addition to helping create large festive displays in shopping centres up and down the country (and internationally), including the Intu Trafford Centre in Manchester, where they install hundreds of animated and illuminated Christmas decorations during the festive period, powered by retail display turntables and movements from our off-the-shelf standard product range.

We have also focused our commitment to understand and acknowledge the procedures and regulations that are required when it comes to working safely in the industries we cater for, especially the construction industry. As such we now proudly hold ISO9001 Quality Management, ISO14001 Environmental Management, CHAS and ConstructionLine Gold certification with in-house SMSTS, IOSH and NEBOSH qualified personnel – helping us and our clients to work in safe and professionally managed environments
