New Deal Prompts Growth For Lisburn Engineering Firm
An engineering company based in Lisburn has secured new orders for metal components, allowing it to invest in advanced machinery, boost its workforce and secure further expansion and growth.
Charlesworth Engineering designs, fabricates and supplies a wide range of materials across various industries and won the new orders from Ryobi and Camlin.
It follows a successful Buyer Engagement Event delivered by Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council in partnership with the Northern Ireland Chamber earlier this year.
The new business means the firm, which has nine employees and runs apprenticeship opportunities in partnership with the South East Regional College, has invested in a new Water Jet CNC machinery to enable additional production capabilities.
The development will also facilitate the recruitment of more staff and one more apprentice.
Managing Director of Charlesworth Engineering, Roy Charlesworth, commented: "As a company, we not only invest in machinery, but also invest in our workforce; working with new apprentices to be next generation of engineers. They are the future and we should do more as an industry to employ more apprentices. As Managing Director of Charlesworth Engineering, I am committed to continuously invest in Northern Ireland."
Chairman of the Council's Development Committee, Alderman Allan Ewart, MBE said: "I am absolutely delighted to hear that Charlesworth Engineering were able to fully utilise the buyer engagement event and have been successful in securing several orders as a result. It is encouraging to see that these council-led procurement events are providing great opportunities for local Lisburn Castlereagh businesses in terms of growing and diversifying their business, which in effect is providing a positive impact for our local economy."
Charlesworth Engineering work closely with Alan Lowry from Environmental Street Furniture, exporting stainless steel bollards to Dubai and providing planters to the University of Ulster. The company has also been a long standing supplier of stainless steel process pipe work to Coca-Cola HBC, and recently sealed a deal to provide a turn-key solution for a new plant for Classic Mineral Water in Lurgan.
