This year, we have welcomed more new apprentices into our Cambridgeshire-based team. These roles are at the heart of our commitment to:

• Invest in British manufacturing
• Empower young talent
• Deliver world-class training
• Support Made in the UK excellence

We work with West Suffolk College and their active apprenticeship scheme. Our apprentices gain hands-on experience working with our industry-leading fire and fuel delivery products, learning from seasoned professionals in a supportive and innovative environment.

We believe in building skills that last a lifetime - and we’re excited to help shape the next generation of engineering talent.

We’re excited to announce a major step forward in our manufacturing capabilities at Supply Plus. Our Cambridge factory has recently seen the arrival of the Trumpf TruBend 3100 press brake machine, a state-of-the-art solution designed to enhance precision, efficiency, and productivity.  With the machine now fully installed and our operatives fully trained, we’re ready to deliver even greater quality and performance across our product range.

This investment reflects our ongoing commitment to innovation, engineering excellence, and supporting the lifesaving and life sustaining sectors with the very best.

We have now successfully completed the final stage of our implementation and audit for ISO 14001:2015 standard which is to help organisations improve their environmental performance through more efficient use of resources and reduction of waste, therefore gaining a competitive advantage.

This is a globally recognised standard as with our ISO 9001 2015 and ISO 45001 2018 for our manufacturing business. Only around 14,000 businesses in the UK have gained this specific accreditation to date. We are now amongst the best accredited businesses in our sector with these three internationally recognised standards.

Accreditation

We have now completed the final stage of our implementation and audit for ISO 45001:2018 standard which is to enhance our Occupational Health and Safety performance within our business. This is a globally recognised standard as with our ISO 9001 2015 for our manufacturing business.

Accreditation

We are delighted to announce that we have completed a Management Buy Out (MBO) of Supply Plus Limited effective from the 1st April 2019 to create a position where the

complete ownership of the business is now 100% with the senior management team and fully UK based.

Supply Plus Limited manufacture a range of products, from our Cambridge UK base, primarily for the Fire & Rescue, Fuel Delivery and Cable management markets under the AS Fire & Rescue, Collins Youldon and Bayley brands.

Outside our primary UK market we have exported to over 40 countries in the past 12 months with our UK team of over 60 staff.

We now expect to embark upon a further period of stability and critical focus on our core customers to deliver their immediate requirements.

The MBO team are:

• Derek Gotts                  Managing Director
• Mike Corbishley            Finance Director
• Patrick Holt                  Operations Director
• Karen Hull                    Compliance Director

This is an exciting step forward as part of a continuing journey for our business.

We face new challenges as we move forward to further increase quality, synchronise our lead times to match those required in specific sectors, refine our existing products

and complete the development of a range of new products already well underway.

We can see many transformational changes that will be required to meet our markets evolving needs; to achieve this we need to be even more aligned to our customers to

provide the correct solutions.

‘We pride ourselves not only on our innovation but also our adaptability and determination,’ Derek Gotts explains. ‘A business that stands still can expect less satisfied customers and more aggressive competition; which is why we seek to expand our products and services, along with our own team and their knowledge’
