The Background.

Our client relationship developed from our field installation service way back in 1992. Since then we have evolved our service offering and are now trusted to supply a comprehensive range of control, engineering and instrumentation services globally through our term contract agreement.

The service covers multiple sites in the UK to as far afield as Singapore and Australia. The range of services includes Front End Study work through to the design and build of control system design and upgrade, and also encompasses Electrical and Instrumentation design. Work is predominately on brownfield sites but the scope of service includes greenfield when required.

In 2013 our client announced a package of investments for UK plants, and announced the intention to build a new production facility. The requirement was for the supply of an Integrated Control System for the new pharmaceutical manufacturing plant.
