Coventry-based Arrowsmith Engineering is flying high after securing a $1m aerospace order from the US. Backed by support from the Manufacturing Growth Programme (MGP), the company now expects to double annual sales to £7m by 2020. Arrowsmith has also just been awarded the Silver SC21 award. The company has been working with the MGP since October last year, first with the SC21 application and, more recently, in a gap analysis for the new AS9100D aerospace quality standard. Assistance has also been given in developing a long-term strategy and how to make the most of international opportunities.
