Managing director Mark Ritson, said last year had been “amazing” after expanding focus from the metals industry to new sectors.
He added: “We experienced our highest growth ever and were delighted with the in-roads we made into some new high growth sectors.
“We’ve kept a competitive edge by investing in our people – and our commitment to developing our own engineers through apprentice schemes is a big part of this.”
The firm has developed a degree apprenticeship scheme to develop talent in-house.
