Chesterfield-based engineering company, CBE+, is set to expand its influence in the manufacturing sector, thanks to its comprehensive suite of services and ambitious growth plans. CEO Marie Cooper recently shared insights into the company's strategy, emphasising their commitment to supporting British manufacturing through innovation and collaboration.
CBE+ offers a wide range of manufacturing services, including CNC milling, turning, gear cutting, and electroless nickel plating. The company has successfully integrated multiple capabilities under one roof, catering to diverse market sectors such as aerospace, defence, energy, and medical.
Marie highlighted the company’s recent growth from three consolidated businesses to a current turnover of £7 million. With a three-year target of reaching £12-15 million and a five-year goal of surpassing £25 million, CBE+ is positioning itself to address supply chain gaps and meet increasing market demands.
The company's participation in the "Backing Britain Campaign" underscores its commitment to showcasing the technical expertise and capabilities of UK manufacturers. Cooper emphasised the need for a collaborative approach to overcome challenges such as energy costs, regional rateable value disparities, and varied grant opportunities across the UK.
CBE+ is advocating for a more open and supportive environment for British manufacturers, suggesting that a cabinet for industrial strategy could better serve the sector than a single manufacturing minister. This approach aims to streamline support and drive growth through enhanced collaboration and innovation.
As CBE+ continues to expand, its dedication to quality and innovation remains at the forefront, ensuring the company is well-equipped to meet the evolving needs of its clients and the manufacturing industry at large.
