the larger diameters and volumes we encounter.

with the highest of tolerances and that the customer gets top quality work.”
Its task force is something the company
holds in high esteem. It's an ethic which has
been inherited from parent company, SC
Group, which observes a family-orientated
approach to business with respect to the four
companies within the group structure.
Blackhill Engineering Services, specifically,
strives to facilitate career progression for its
staff and promotes training and development
at every level. The current General Manager's
acceleration through the ranks from shop
floor operative is case in point and the company continues to provide opportunities for
those showing promise.
Priding itself on looking after its own, Blackhill
Engineering Services retains that principle when
working with suppliers. Actively seeking to source
components as locally as possible, the company
often makes use of materials from South Wales
and therefore minimising its haulage miles. Incoming and outgoing deliveries of core material
are also condensed according to destination with a
view to using transport more efficiently and reducing the company's carbon emissions.
Promising further diversification and
development in the coming years, Blackhill
Engineering Services is showing no sign of
slowing down. And with superb quality products, and lean and focused processes, it's a
company with all the necessary faculties to
straddle multiple markets with finesse.
