A MIDDLEWICH based business has been recognised by the Government as one of the best manufacturer’s in the country.

SpanSet UK has been included in the Parliamentary Review which covers each UK policy sector with a variety of editions including education, manufacturing, environment, healthcare and technology.

The purpose of the review is to provide in depth insight into best practice.

SpanSet UK, based in Telford Way, provides solutions for safe working at height, lifting and load security.

Pete Ward, managing director, in the Parliamentary Review article said: “By using the training team, we introduced a culture into the business whereby we became comfortable bringing together solutions for customers’ problems and then demonstrating how they worked, together with the supporting technical information.

“From a customer perspective, they understood that the proposal fulfilled their need.

“More importantly, though, it offered reassurance in terms of compliance with standards –something we could easily demonstrate.

“As the training division grew, so did our ability to address the real problems customers encountered not only in identifying a suitable solution, but also in implementing and maintaining it.”

SpanSet UK employs 95 people and was established in 1969.

The business has been praised for going the extra mile and insuring that customers get the solutions they need.

Pete said: “Maintaining the UK input into the European norms and continually refining them to reflect current best practice and advances in technical innovation is essential if they are to remain relevant.

“After all, our approach is to address the whole issue and provide a solution, not simply a product in isolation.

“The success of SpanSet UK as part of the SpanSet group and within our market sectors is a result of our approach to solving problems and working with customers on a longer-term basis, supporting them at every stage.

“Our experiences with the SpanSet group and key clients including the MOD, many of whom we have worked with for over 20 years, shows that the UK is a competitive market in which high quality and innovation can make a difference.”

Pete Ward, managing director: “We are delighted to be involved in this year's Parliamentary Review and we hope our story is read widely."

Fiona Bruce, MP for the Congleton constituency, said: “Congratulations to all the team at Middlewich based SpanSet UK on their success.

“I am proud to have such an innovative, forward thinking business in my constituency.

“SpanSet UK has clearly developed a strong reputation in its specialist field due to a commitment by everyone in the company to high standards, continuous training, and understanding and meeting customers’ needs.”
