At the 2026 SMI Golf Challenge at Moor Hall Golf Club, we caught up with Barry Rooney of Prima Power UK.

Prima Power is one of the big names in sheet metal machinery. Its range covers laser cutting, punching, panel bending, press brakes and the automation that links them into flexible manufacturing cells for fabricators across the UK.

Between holes, Barry told us why days like this matter and what he took away from spending a day with people from across the industry.
