Message from the Managing Director
We’re heading towards the final part of the year, and August has been another month packed with exciting moments.
One of the biggest highlights was being announced as finalists for Engineering Innovator of the Year.
We were also proud to welcome a delegation from Germany, organised by the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce. As a Birmingham-based business, it’s always a pleasure to open our doors and show visitors around the factory, giving them a first-hand look at our work.
Looking ahead to September, we’ll be raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support with a coffee morning, as well as hosting a local school for a factory visit. Inspiring the next generation to get into engineering is something we care deeply about, and we’re excited to share our world with them.
It’s been a fantastic summer, and the year isn’t slowing down any time soon.

Tony has been at Alwayse for almost four years now, and while his title is Purchasing Manager, the reality is he wears quite a few hats.
He supports the factory team with everything they need to keep production moving. Read more here.
