Founded in late 2007, Advanced Machinery Services has been formed by 2 previous directors of Wadkin. Originally based from the iconic former WADKIN LIMITED site in Green Lane Road Leicester, AMS have now relocated to Skeffington Mill in rural Leicestershire. AMS offers a total production solution from the supply of woodworking machines and equipment to a rapid response service and spares team.

With the PUWER 98 DC Braking compliance dates looming AMS decided to set up a dedicated team of high calibre electricians to help its customers meet the deadlines. Advanced Machinery Services has added three new machine lines to its already impressive portfolio of Wadkin Bursgreen woodworking machinery: wall saws, grinders and new models within their crosscut range.

About Us Report

Founded in late 2007, Advanced Machinery Services was created by Steve Foster and Stephen McGloin. They had previously been directors at Wadkin before deciding to go it alone and set up their very own specialist machinery and spare parts company.

Unfortunately, shortly after Steve and Stephen left Wadkin to start Advanced Machinery Services, the company that had previously employed hundreds of engineers and dealt with multiple distributors throughout the world, Wadkin, was forced to close.Having close ties to Wadkin, Advanced Machinery Services decided to buy the intellectual property rights to Wadkin's woodworking machinery.

I have been using AMS for many many years now after buying a 5 headed moulder and re-saw, that are now the beating heart of our business.
I cant not praise these guys enough they now service all my machinery every year and fix any issues I have, even with machinery well beyond its years.
There knowledge is fantastic and is very much essential especially in an industry that keeps evolving as it does.
I would not hesitate recommending AMS for all your wood working machinery needs.

We have recently bought a Wadkin Bursgreen Crosscut and Spindle moulder from AMS and were very happy with both. From our initial contact with Brett to any contact with service or the various departments, everything has been dealt with in an efficient & professional manner. We may be looking to update some more machines shortly & AMS will be our first port of call. Thanks guys.

We approached AMS for advice to upgrade our 4 head cutter and to buy a new 6 head cutter. The service they provided us with was very professional and very helpful for us to make an informed decision on which machines best suited our needs. Also their after sales service has been very helpful for us in getting used to the machines.

If you need new machinery, used machinery, spares or service, then you needn’t go anywhere else. AMS are very knowledgable, as the founders of the company are ex-Wadkin employees. They have a really nice brand new showroom too.
