Norfolk ? Your Precision Engineering Problems Solved?

View:

Somepeople may be under the impression that almost all of the precision engineeringthat goes on in the UK islocated in the Midlands or the North ofEngland. However, these people may be missing a great opportunity, by notconsidering Norfolkas an alternative region for precision engineering services.

It istrue that the Midlands and the North ofEngland were once the backbone of the engineering sector in this country. Theseareas had traditionally been extremely biased towards manufacturing, to the extentwhere a huge percentage of the local workforce in these areas would be employedin this sector. Large engineering factories were widespread in these parts ofthe country, and therefore most of the country's engineering focus was centredaround them. However, in the last 20 or 30 years all this has changed, andthere are various reasons for this. The decline in the industry as a whole, andthe changes to working practices that this has brought, has hit large companieshardest. With such a concentration of companies in one or two areas, and withso many engineers moving out of engineering and into other sectors, customershave been forced to look elsewhere for their precision engineering.

One areawhich has benefited from this is East Anglia,and Norfolk inparticular. No longer just a rural area which was entirely devoted to farming, Norfolk has developedinto a thriving engineering base. The Oil and Gas industry is very involved in Norfolk, and other sectors such as meat and cropprocessing, automotive engineering and the chemical industry play a large partin the Norfolkeconomy. All of these sectors are very heavily biased towards engineering, andrequire very high levels of precision. This has led to a situation where thereare some excellent precision engineering companies in Norfolk, with very highly skilled engineers.

One suchcompany is Machined Precision Components Ltd, based in Watton in Norfolk, who can list anumber of customers in these sectors who are locally based. They can also boastcustomers all over the country who have a requirement for their precisionengineering services.

Asdirector Nick Overton explains: ?We provide a highly professional service tomany sectors of precision engineering, not only in Norfolk, but throughout the country. We placegreat emphasis on three areas: Firstly we produce a top quality component, weprovide it for a competitive price, and we do this with very short lead times.?

In facttheir lead times are so short that they sometimes can provide a next day deliveryto customers for items which may be produced at very short notice. ?We canoften receive an order on one day, produce the components on the same day, andthen deliver it to the customer the next day? explains Mr Overton. ?We can dothis for any customer within the UK, wherever they are based, andwith no compromise in quality. This flexibility means that we can provide aquality service to customers that they may not be able to find elsewhere?

PrecisionEngineering in Norfolkcontinues to go from strength to strength, and sometimes this area of thecountry can provide a quality of service that cannot be found elsewhere.

Lee Hunton is a Qualified Engineerwith 25 years experience in the industry. He has worked in precisionengineering in the UK and Europe. MachinedPrecision Components Ltd was set up in April 2004 by Experienced Engineers with the aim of providing a qualityproduct at a competitive price.
