A global move towards low- or zero-emission bus and coaches has helped a Birmingham manufacturer add £3m to its turnover in 2016. Grayson Thermal Systems, which employs 270 people across four sites in the West Midlands and a US operation in Indiana, says that interest in the firm’s innovations has come from across the world, with customers secured in Europe, North America and, increasingly, the Middle East.
“The next 12 months look equally exciting and we are expecting to grow 15%, creating jobs across a range of engineering and manufacturing positions in the process,” says managing director Stuart Hateley. “There are a lot of opportunities opening up in the previously untapped markets of the Middle and Far East. If we can make inroads into these territories then 2017 will definitely be one to remember.”
