We’re proud that our solutions are versatile and enduring enough to have been utilised in a wide variety of industries from operating tables to airplanes, the sky really is the limit. 

Our origins date back to when we began with our work in the aerospace sector, all the way through to automotive and beyond. Having been handed over ownership by various multi-national corporations has meant that we have acquired a wealth of valuable knowledge and experience in some of the world’s most demanding industries.  

For example, we were one of the pioneers of the BS5750 quality standard and our commitment to quality as a mainstay of our business remains as much of a priority now as when we first set out on this journey. Interested in a more detailed look into our heritage? Keep reading.
