Award caps year of growth for ASL
ASL is now well on target to achieve its 10 year plan of hitting a £10 million turnover by 2020
Assembly Solutions Ltd, a leading contract manufacturer of electrical wiring assemblies and components has won SME business of the year in the Bolton and Bury Business Awards.
The award followed a year of impressive growth and was presented at a gala event held at the Reebok Stadium in Bolton.
Assembly Solutions Ltd (ASL) fought off stiff competition to win this hard-fought category. The judges recognised the values of the business and the fact that year on year ASL has continued to grow with orders up 100% on last year.
Graham Balshaw, managing director, said: “This is a fantastic achievement and a great endorsement for our overall plans. I have a good team of people working within the business and am proud of what we have achieved over the past 15 years.”
ASL is now well on target to achieve its 10 year plan of hitting a £10 million turnover by 2020.
Mr Balshaw is now actively looking at new premises and hopes to move before the end of this year in order to facilitate the continued growth of this already strong, award winning business.
He says: “We have built a solid customer base without being too exposed by dealing in just one sector. When the recent financial crisis hit automotive hard we were able to diversify and strengthen our work in the electronics sector, as well as winning new orders in the growing nuclear market. Our business model is one of sustainable growth, without falling into the trap of overtrading. We constantly invest in the skills of our workforce and equipment making us extremely competitive; this has been demonstrated by our recent new business wins.”
Established in 1995 ASL now employs over 40 staff at its purpose built facility in Bolton and has supply partners in China for materials and assemblies, helping to ensure the business has almost unlimited capacity at competitive prices for both short and long lead time contracts. ASL is now very much an international company with almost 20% of sales exported, much of this back to the highly competitive markets of the Far East.
