“MACH has always been the key UK event for the sector,” Chris Cooke said. “I’m looking forward to being there with Compass Business Finance, meeting customers and suppliers, and catching up with familiar faces. Compass’s focus on relationships and doing the right thing for customers is exactly why I chose to join the team and support them.”
Visitors are encouraged to stop by stand 6-44 to meet the Compass team, take on the Batak Challenge, and explore how Compass can help turn their investment plans into reality.
Compass Business Finance will be returning to MACH this year, demonstrating its continued commitment to the sheet metal, metalforming and wider engineering sectors. As active members of both the MTA and The Metal Forming Machinery Makers Association (MMMA), Compass is deeply embedded in the industries it serves. Throughout MACH, the team will be based on stand 6‑44, ready to discuss investment plans, new machinery acquisitions and long‑term business ambitions with manufacturers and suppliers across the metalworking supply chain.
With two decades of experience supporting companies investing in presses, fabrication equipment, CNC machinery, tooling, automation and advanced manufacturing technology, Compass provides funding solutions shaped around the realities of production environments. Their relationship‑driven approach means supporting businesses with clear, responsive and knowledgeable guidance – whether they are upgrading equipment, expanding capacity or restructuring finance.
This year, Compass is also bringing some extra energy to its stand with a Batak Challenge – a fast‑paced reaction game mirroring the company’s own focus on speed, clarity and responsiveness. Visitors can test their reactions, earn a place on the leaderboard, and compete for prizes including a £250 Amazon voucher for the overall winner, with additional daily prizes available.
“MACH is always a highlight for us,” said Danny Plowscompass, Sales Manager at Compass Business Finance. “It’s a brilliant opportunity to meet people face‑to‑face, hear about their business plans and really understand what they’re aiming for. Our focus is always on supporting customers’ ambitions, and the conversations we have at MACH play a big part in that.”
Chris Cooke, who recently joined Compass as a highly respected industry figure within engineering finance, will also be on the stand throughout the week.
“MACH has always been the key UK event for the sector,” Chris said. “I’m looking forward to being there with Compass, meeting customers and suppliers, and catching up with familiar faces. Compass’s focus on relationships and doing the right thing for customers is exactly why I chose to join the team and support them.”
Manufacturers, suppliers and industry partners are invited to visit stand 6‑44 to meet the Compass team, take on the Batak Challenge, and find out how Compass can support ongoing investment in metal forming and fabrication technologies.
