For the past 40 years Isherwoods has provided Management
Systems to more than 100 customers in 38 different countries,
with over 400 systems delivered in several languages.
Isherwoods began trading in 1907. The founder, Joseph William
Isherwood, was a respected naval architect who designed and
patented a revolutionary system of construction for seagoing
vessels using a longitudinal framing system. By 1918 about 1,050
vessels had been constructed throughout the world.
Joseph Isherwood later received a knighthood in recognition of
his contribution to the maritime industry. In the 1930's he
developed the 'ARCFORM' hull design to improve fuel consumption
and 50 ships were built to that design between 1933 and 1954.
In the 1960's Isherwoods started to provide Ship Management
Systems to ship owners and operators. The first manual
Maintenance Management and Stock Control system for commercial
shipping was produced in 1963. Computerised Stock Control and
Planned Maintenance (SCPM) systems soon followed.
Since 1980 the company has increased the scope of its business
market, winning further contracts with government, military and
industrial customers.
Our primary business activity now is the supply of computerised
Maintenance Management Systems (MMS) or Integrated Logistic
Support (ILS) Services to Commercial Shipping, Industrial and
Military markets.
We have made many improvements since the first manual based
systems of 1963 to the current IMIS® based system today. We now
use Microsoft Windows™ technology to extend the functionality of
our systems and to integrate Maintenance, Supply, Configuration
and Document Management.
We can now produce interactive electronic technical
publications, or if necessary we can also meet the ongoing
demand for hardcopy printed publications.
Our investment in software development and keeping up with the
latest available information technology will allow us to
continue introducing improved integrated software applications
in the future.
We at Sir Joseph Isherwood recognise the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans, and military families bring to our business and to our country. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by:
Holders pledge to support the armed forces, including existing or prospective employees who are members of the community. We promote being armed forces-friendly and are open to employing reservists, armed forces veterans (including the wounded, injured and sick), cadet instructors and military spouses/partners.
We have achieved the Bronze Award, the next aim will be to achieve the Silver as time permits.
