PRV Engineering looking to the future

Investment, expansion and employment have been the buzz words coming out of PRV Engineering over the past 24 months.

In 2013, managing director Simon Jones invested £1.25million in the company to not only maintain the growth of PRV Engineering, but to ensure that in the future, there would be employment opportunities too.

The addition of an 8000 sq ft building and a 10 tonne overhead crane capacity at the Pontypool site, enabled PRV Engineering to re-enter the fabrication and construction markets. The state of the art equipment made it possible to provide potential customers with a vast range of machined components.

In terms of the company’s decision to invest in people, last year was also a productive year. PRV Engineering employed seven new members of staff in 2013, taking the total number of personnel to 51. Now, that number is set to rise, once again.

Scammers – The dark side of the web!!

Scammers try every avenue available to obtain money from people and companies. Today we experienced the dark side of the web first hand.

In this morning’s post was a letter returned by the Royal Mail as address unknown, it was addressed to one of our customers, but obviously at an incorrect address. When my FD opened it she was stunned by the contents. It was fake letter that looked as though it was from us informing our customer that we had changed our bank details and that all future payments should go to this new account. It was even signed by someone pretending to be the company secretary.

We have obviously informed all our customers that this is a scam along with the police in both Cardiff and London who are investigating the origin.

PRV securing its Busbar business

PRV Engineering’s significant investment in a new plating facility in 2013 has led to a firmer control over prices and lead times.

One of the fastest growing high precision engineering machining specialists in Europe, PRV have been trading for over 27 years. Managing director Simon Jones believes the company’s new plating facility will have a vital part to play in the future of its Busbar business.

He said; ”Our order book continues to grow and the stabilisation of our Busbar business, via the investment in our new plating facility, helps to convince our loyal clients that we are here for the long term.

“Because we are in the high voltage power industry and a lot of our products are Busbars, they either require tin-plating or silver plating for added conductivity. In the industry we find it increasingly difficult to get the service done in an adequate time and at an adequate price.
