A Story of Small Business Growth, UK Engineering, and a Game-Changing Filling Solution

Running a small business is a balancing act. Between product development, customer experience, and operations, there鈥檚 rarely time, or room, for costly mistakes. That鈥檚 why when聽Amy Lewis聽鈥� founder of the聽Mooeys Group聽鈥撀爃it a critical turning point in her business, she reached out to聽Manufacturing to trial the聽Response Benchtop Filling Machine.

鈥淚t鈥檚 so simple鈥� push the foot pedal and it鈥檚 all pre-programmed.鈥�

Amy first encountered the聽Response Benchtop Filler聽at聽IdeasFest 2024, where she met聽Dean聽from Adelphi. 鈥淚 was just moseying on by and saw Dean filling up some really small bottles with this incredible bit of kit,鈥� she recalls.

Dean invited her to try it and in moments, she saw the potential. 鈥淚t鈥檚 simple. Literally put the bottle under the nozzle, push the foot pedal, and it鈥檚 all pre-programmed to the weight or millilitre that you want in your pot.鈥�

At the time, her contract manufacturer鈥檚 minimum order quantity was manageable. But when it jumped from 200 to 1,000 units per product, she was suddenly at a crossroads.

鈥淚鈥檓 not a big enough company to be ordering 1,000 of each product,鈥� she says. 鈥淣ot yet 鈥� we will be.鈥�

鈥淒ean came over and put the whole machine together in my dining room.鈥�

When Amy reached back out, Adelphi didn鈥檛 just suggest her a solution,聽they backed her with belief.聽The Response Benchtop Filler was loaned so she could experience its impact first-hand.

鈥淒ean came over to my house and put the whole Benchtop Filler machine together in my dining room,鈥� she says. 鈥淚t probably took up not even a quarter of the table. It is a mighty bit of kit鈥� really well engineered.鈥�

Within minutes, they were filling bottles with her聽MOOSKIN聽skincare.

鈥淲hat surprised me鈥� was how easy it was. Really quick and pain-free.鈥�

As someone who鈥檇 never handled production herself, Amy had concerns about clean-up and complexity. But the Response Benchtop Filler delivered on every front.

鈥淚t鈥檚 kind of easy to clean and that was one of my biggest concerns,鈥� she says. 鈥淏ut it鈥檚 really easy. I was able to clean it all out in my kitchen sink.鈥�

鈥淚 managed to create 600 products鈥� and save hundreds of pounds.鈥�

Amy鈥檚 first run was a game-changer. 鈥淚 managed to create 600 products that fundamentally would have cost me nearly 拢1 each to pay someone else to manufacture.鈥�

With filling costs from contract manufacturers ranging between 60p and 拢1 per unit, the savings add up fast.聽Owning the process聽brings exponential value.

鈥淚f you do the maths and work out how much you鈥檙e doing, the machine will pay for itself really soon,鈥� she says. 鈥淚f you鈥檙e making 1,000 products a month, this is such an investment.鈥�

鈥淚f you buy a decent bit of kit, it鈥檒l last you forever.鈥�

Amy saw something deeper in the聽Response Benchtop Filler, not just a tool, but the heart of British engineering.

鈥淚t reminded me of my dad, who used to be a Jaguar engineer,鈥� she says. 鈥淗e always used to say, if you buy a decent bit of kit, it鈥檒l last you forever. And I feel exactly the same about the Adelphi Benchtop Filler.鈥�

鈥淵ou are in safe hands with Adelphi.鈥�

This story isn鈥檛 just about a machine. It鈥檚 about a team.

鈥淚t鈥檚 been so lovely working with Dean鈥� I needed to speak to someone in support, and one of the engineers came back to me super quickly,鈥� she says. 鈥淎 part I was missing was posted to me the next day.鈥�

Unlike faceless overseas sellers, Adelphi are always available, responsive, personal, and genuinely invested.

鈥淵ou know that if you鈥檙e going to make an investment with them, it鈥檚 a safe bet.鈥�

鈥淚 totally recommend it鈥� once you鈥檝e got it, it鈥檚 going to last you years.鈥�

For Amy, the experience confirmed more than just the value of the product, it solidified her trust in the company behind it.

鈥淭o any product company that is filling any kind of bottles, I would totally recommend it,鈥� she says. 鈥淢ake sure it鈥檚 worthwhile for you, do your maths, but once you鈥檝e got it, it鈥檚 going to last you years and years and years.鈥�

Amy鈥檚 Bet Paid Off 鈥� and So Did Adelphi鈥檚

This wasn鈥檛 just a machine trial. This was a vote of confidence.聽Amy鈥檚 story proves that with the right equipment, small businesses can act big, stay agile, and grow on their own terms.
