A UK manufacturer of bespoke racking is looking to double its sales by 2028 after tapping into assistance from a major business support programme. Wickens Engineering, which employs 50 people at its Worcester factory, is targeting £20m in revenue after completing a £1m improvement project in the company’s paint shop, giving it the capability to powder-coat 8 m steel beams for the first time. The latest phase of the investment drive was supported by consultancy through the Elevate Manufacturing Programme, which included a revenue grant that played a key role in driving change.
