Investing in Technology and Talent to Meet Growing Demand for UK-Based Manufacturing Solutions
Over the past year, Grenville Engineering has seen a noticeable rise in enquiries and orders for projects reshoring back to the UK. As businesses look to mitigate the risks of fragmented supply chains and lengthy lead times, we are proud to be a trusted partner for those seeking UK-based sheet metal fabricators. With growing demand for precision manufacturing, Grenville Engineering is perfectly positioned to meet the evolving needs of our customers and partners, offering a complete in-house service. From laser cutting, punching, forming, welding, assembly, machining, and our fleet of transport, we ensure efficient and timely delivery of projects.
To support this growth, we’ve invested £800,000 over the past 12 months in state-of-the-art machinery, including CNC tube laser, flatbed fiber laser, and robotic welding machines. These investments increase our capacity, reduce lead times, and add value to our customers by enhancing our ability to deliver more complex, high-quality solutions. Stuart Rawlinson, Sales Director, notes, “These investments are about more than just new technology; they’re about providing a complete solution for our customers. We can deliver high-quality, cost-effective services faster and with greater precision, helping our partners stay competitive in today’s market.”
Reshoring also reduces the risks associated with offshoring, such as unpredictable supply chains and fluctuating costs. By partnering with Grenville Engineering, customers gain a more reliable, UK-based supply chain backed by ISO 9001-certified processes that guarantee consistent quality.
Beyond technology, we’re focused on the future by addressing the industry’s skills gap. With seven apprentices currently mentored by our most experienced workers, Grenville is dedicated to building the next generation of engineers and is committed to delivering customer-centric solutions and expertise that have been the cornerstone of our business for the past 40 years.
As we celebrate our 40th anniversary this year, we are well-equipped to support the reshoring trend, offering a complete service package that combines cutting-edge technology with a skilled workforce. We are proud that many of our employees have progressed from apprenticeships to senior positions within the company. Our team’s long-term commitment highlights our culture’s strength and dedication to delivering excellence in sheet metal fabrication for our customers.
