Falkirk relocation delivers growth catalyst for Jenkins Fabrications

The move comes as the business looks to achieve its target of being the number one steel fabricator in Scotland for the housebuilding and construction industries.

The third-generation family business has been delivering specialist support to these sectors since 1958, and the move is central to its strategy for growth. Managing director Jonny Jenkins views the relocation as the ideal springboard for the firm to achieve its ambition within the target industries as well as broadening its production capacity for other sectors.

“Our previous base at Redding served us well for many years,” he commented. “However, as we move forward with our plans, the size and quality of our operating plant is absolutely crucial, and this upgrade on all fronts in our new space will support the targets we have for the future.

“With this move, we are building on the success of the past five years and with a skilled workforce which now numbers more than thirty, we are able, in this new environment, to expand our services to sectors such as renewables and energy.

“In addition, the quality of this new Bankside base enables us to expand our apprenticeship and training opportunities. These have always been an important aspect of Jenkins’ culture, and we are delighted that we will now be ideally placed to consolidate this work and support the career development of young people and others locally.”

Recent years have seen the firm invest in new technology and develop new services, so the relocation is another positive step forward. “We are totally dedicated to creating high-quality products, supported by high-quality service – all delivered by a skilled, highly trained workforce,” said Jonny Jenkins.

“Establishing this new, high-quality production base is for us a catalyst. It is the key to driving us forward to support our customers and our own team and to achieve the targets we have for the business.”
