Cartwright growth spurs internal investment08 May 2017
Trailer manufacturer Cartwright reports that it is “achieving unprecedented growth” as it faces record demand. It also says that growth extends across divisions such as rentals, fleet services, sales, finance and Cartwright conversions, its new van conversion business launched last year.
Cartwright’s senior management is forecasting that annual turnover will exceed £130 million for the first time in the company’s 65-year history having cemented its position as the second largest trailer manufacturer in the UK.
In line with this growth, Cartwright has invested more than £5 million in capital expenditure at the organisation’s South Manchester 40-acre manufacturing complex.
Mark Cartwright, group managing director, comments: “The business continues to expand across all our mainstream activities and this is a reflection of our hard-working workforce and our committed senior management team. Our policy in recent years to build a diverse business of related products and services is now paying dividends.”
He says: “Importantly we have invested substantially in the factory to ensure that our productivity levels are continually improving in line with our ever-increasing quality levels.”
Mark Cartwright stressed that the company board was not only focusing on the present, but also looking to the future, as for example through investment in its apprenticeship scheme.
