INDUSTRO ENGINEERING GROUP.

  • Case study type: Investment and Workspace
  • Activity: Engineering

UKSE’s strong relationship with INDUSTRO– supporting with investments, guidance, and office space – started in 2016. Since then, the business has expanded rapidly from a start-up with a team of three to a group with a turnover of more than £10m

INDUSTRO Engineering Group now directly employs 54 people in companies covering a range of engineering services – including design, structural, civils, electrical and inspection – that frees its clients from the complexities of dealing with a number of different service providers. It now handles major projects, including at Teesworks and HS2, on Teesside and across the UK in key sectors from oil and gas, petrochemical and nuclear to renewable energy and rail.

“From our initial start-up loan from its Regeneration Fund, UKSE has been very supportive with investments, premises and advice. We have been able to expand the Group to cover the complementary services that our customers were looking for from us. UKSE has been pragmatic and approachable throughout and we are grateful for their support.”
John Betts – CEO

How we did it.

A loan from our Regeneration Fund helped the start-up business with working capital along with office space in one of our Innovation Centres. Through the years of rapid growth, we provided two further investments, additional office and workshop space until the company needed its own larger premises and fabrication facility along with further initial investments in the other group companies.

The results.

Growth

Rapid expansion from a core engineering start-up business to a turnover of more than £10m in today’s Group.

Diversification
