Focus NDT's customer-friendly move

摘要

One of the UK's top materials testing companies has moved into premises in the Black Country to be nearer to its customers. Focus NDT Ltd, which provides non-destructive testing services to a wide range of engineering companies, has taken 8000 sq ft in Fordhouse Road, Bushbury, Wolverhampton, on a long lease, next to one of its major customers BST Supplies, which produces safety-critical fasteners to sectors such as the offshore drilling, nuclear and naval industries. Focus provides a wide range of services including ultrasonic testing of wrought products and castings, and materials, metallurgical and analytical support for organisations both nationally and internationally. It has its headquarters in Rotherham and a further branch in Aberdeen, but has taken the Fordhouse Road premises in Wolverhampton to provide increased support to its West Midlands customer base. Area manager Stewart Dudwell told NDT News that the move had created four jobs in the first instance but this number was likely to grow with new business wins in the region.
