Precision sensor manufacturer Micro-Epsilon (www.micro-epsilon.co.uk) celebrated the 10th anniversary of its UK business last month. Although the company was set up in Hanover in 1968, it was not until 2004 that the UK arm of the business was established.

Over the past 10 years, the UK company has grown from a one-man office in Liverpool to a multi-million-pound business. It recently moved into brand-new offices that are more than double the size of its previous premises.
