A family-run engineering business has increased its sales by 100% to £1.4 million, increased net profits by 364% and won a million-pound order to make defibrillator mounting brackets for Queensland Ambulance Service in Australia.

Stafford Engineering Services has been providing sub-contract engineering, design and product services to many industries for more than 31 years.

Starting out with a small workshop in 1994 supplying engineering services to local businesses in the West Midlands, it has now grown into a worldwide supplier of engineering services and medical device storage equipment within the UK, EU, Australia, Israel and the US.

This financial year the business has exceeded turnover expectations and increased sales by 100% from £700,000 in 2024 to £1,400,000 in 2025 and increased net profits by 364% from £113,000 in 2024 to £520,000 in 2025 with projected profits for 2026 at £750,000 – all with a workforce of 11 people.

In 2024 Stafford Engineering Services invested £250,000 for new CNC machinery, funded from working capital, to increase manufacturing capacity significantly and manage larger quantity orders. From this upscaling of production it was successful in winning its largest order to date, a £1,500,000 order for 2,500 units of its Ddefibrillator mounting brackets for Queensland Ambulance Service in Australia.
