Redruth-based WES Engineering (www.wesltd.com) is proving that investment is key to its on-going success.

The company specialises in tooling for the automotive industry and has started 2019 in a positive fashion by investing £200,000 in a new CNC mill-turn machine.

Group operations manager Daniel Hutchings said: “As key suppliers to the automotive industry, including Jaguar Land Rover, we know the impact of today’s challenging climate.

"Growing world-class talent through our apprentice scheme, with new machinery that our early engineers and our very best specialists can both use, enables us to deliver complex engineering solutions to every sector of industry that we serve, and to take advantage of new market opportunities.”

Achieving double-digit growth in 2018, as well as taking on three new apprentices and other recruits, WES has a 25-year heritage of working with some of the world’s toughest and rarest metals to manufacture products for a wide range of global organisations, including the aerospace, automotive and oil and gas sectors.

Group commercial manager James Gazzard said: “The recent purchase of an advanced CNC mill-turn machine has been instrumental in increasing our productivity and efficiency, strengthening our ability to work with some of the hardest materials on the planet, and broadening our abilities across a wide range of products and services.”
