About Us
Our history and vision here at HALO, what makes us tick!
From Automotive Roots to Advanced Engineering
Our story began in 1991 when founder Paul Froggatt started his career as a mechanic at his father’s Bosch Service Centre. Trained at Bosch International Training Centre and Lucas International Training Centre, Paul built a strong foundation in automotive engineering, later earning an HNC in Automotive Engineering.
Driven by a passion for performance, Paul progressed into advanced work—complete engine overhauls, motorsport upgrades, and engine ECU remapping using cutting-edge tools from AEM, EcuTEK, and GEMS. This pursuit of excellence led to a new challenge: CNC machining.
To meet the demands of high-performance projects, we embraced CNC machining and CAD/CAM programming, expanding our capabilities to serve diverse sectors including Aerospace, Construction, Security, and Automotive. Today, we combine decades of hands-on experience with state-of-the-art technology to deliver precision-engineered solutions.
