Pump manufacturing and UK rental leader with field IoT and digital service operations
Selwood is a 70+ year-old pump manufacturer and the UK's leading pump rental operator, serving water, environmental, and construction sectors. The tech stack reveals a shift toward field-connected operations: Azure IoT Hub and Event Hubs sit alongside React frontends and .NET backends, with an active telemetry deployment programme underway. Engineering dominates the hiring mix relative to sales, and projects cluster around installation at scale, service training, and fleet instrumentation—signaling a push to digitise rental asset management and support nationwide expansion.
Selwood manufactures pumps under multiple brands (Seltorque for solids handling, Selprime self-priming, Spate for environmental cleanup) and operates the UK's largest pump rental network. The rental business delivers on-site surveys, installation, and 24/7 support from a nationwide branch network; the manufacturing arm supplies products globally to water utilities, environmental contractors, and construction firms. The company is 501–1,000 employees, headquartered in Eastleigh, Hampshire, and privately held since 1946. Current growth priorities include expanding the electrical division, building a European footprint, scaling installation capacity, and integrating real-time telemetry into the rental fleet.
Selwood runs on .NET and C# backends with React frontends, hosted on Azure (Functions, App Service, Storage, IoT Hub, Event Hubs, Data Explorer). Identity via Azure Entra ID, CRM via Dynamics 365, real-time protocols via Modbus and CAN bus.
