Engineer 'positive for future' as revenues rise

An engineering and fabrication firm has hailed its progress in a challenging market after revenues soared.

Tadweld has seen annual sales rise 40 per cent.

The Tadcaster-based operator says it has overcome “cheap imports, economic conditions and a significant skills shortage” to deliver the increase, with bosses pinpointing its “strong client relationships and flexible service”.

They add the firm has also benefited from a “relentless focus on building the best team in the industry”, with the company recently welcoming its 50th staff member.

Known for providing engineering and fabrication services across the food and drink, power, energy and utilities sectors, Tadweld counts companies including Coca-Cola, Nestlé, Britvic and Yorkshire Water in its order books.

Chris Houston, managing director, said: “Our growth is testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team, as well as the trust our clients place in us.

“While the UK steel industry continues to struggle under the weight of cheap imports, challenging economic conditions and a significant skills shortage, we've managed to deliver a truly outstanding financial year.

“While there are undoubtedly challenges ahead, we believe we are well placed to capitalise on the opportunities across the UK food and drink, water, construction and fabrication markets.

“We’re proud of what we’ve achieved in the last 12 months, and we’re feeling positive about the future.”
