Chief business development officer John Kane says that the company expects to see significant growth this year as well, “due in part to a number of major contracts with key customers that are expanding into major markets such as China and India, plus new markets such as Brazil.”
Third Dimension has also expanded its apprenticeship scheme with City of Bristol College, having taken on three apprentices in the last 18 months.
Tim Monks, CTO and founder, says: “With a number of engineers at Third Dimension having come from apprenticeship backgrounds, we recognise the potential for such young talent to grow and develop their skills. It is our responsibility to support them strongly in their role at the company and with their college work.”
