Investing in skills and technologies proves key
As UK businesses look at how they can survive the current crisis, there are lessons to be learned from some of Britain’s oldest companies. Recently celebrating its 100th anniversary, Kingston Engineering, for example, established itself in the devastating aftermath of the First World War, innovated through the Great Depression of the 1930s, evolved through World War Two, and has survived numerous recessions.
The 100 year milestone is testament to the company’s sheer determination to invest and evolve through both the good times and the bad – investments in a skilled team of workers, in facilities and in technologies. Continually evolving not just to meet the needs of the market today but to anticipate the needs of tomorrow, Kingston Engineering has become a leading manufacturer of bespoke power screws and engineering services, all built on its vast engineering heritage.
Excelling in engineering excellence, Kingston Engineering showcases 100 years of skilled, expert and customer focus based history. Through these advancements and changes in technology, the company has maintained its presence in the market and gained global recognition and presence. Adaptable for mechanical power transmission, Kingston’s products conform to the standards of British, European and American requirements, all of Kingston’s products meet ISO 9001-2015 accreditation and are examined thoroughly during the manufacturing process.
The current directors have more than 100 years of experience between them and are continuously engaging in plans to help the company develop. Production director Paul Bielby says: “Kingston Engineering’s screws can be used in a range of applications and across multiple industries. This includes in aerospace, oil and gas, nuclear energy, the chemical and medical fields, and much more. We work closely with both suppliers and end users in order to provide the very best, customised and purpose built screws possible. We also have an ever growing base, with customers all across the UK and even further afield in the US.
