Our philosophy is think big, act small, as an independent family-run distributor we work hard to nurture and service our customers, we believe in going beyond just purchases, our relationships with our customers is familial.
For us originality is key, and we believe innovation starts with independent businesses – our offices are where most interesting concepts and new design ideas take place. We don’t follow suit, we create and offer choices for our customers. We also support other local businesses and our community, because we care, we see it as a way of directly giving back to the community – funding great ideas and ventures that can only exist outside of mainstream, corporate companies.
Small businesses are at the heart of entrepreneurship and when customers support independent businesses they support a true reflection of the person or people behind it, which for us feels like we’re giving everyday engineers the voice and recognition they deserve.
We also support The Royal Academy of Engineering with their ‘This is Engineering Day’ initiative which is aimed at raising awareness of the wide range of career opportunities available within engineering and to encourage the younger generation, in particular women, to explore a profession within the industry.
