About the Company

This business is a market-leading manufacturer with a turnover exceeding £50 million and a strong reputation for continuous improvement, innovation, and product development. Due to continued growth and increasing customer demand, they are expanding operations and investing significantly into new technology and production capabilities. It s an exciting time to join a company that values its engineers and offers both security and progression.
