Accles & Pollock, the precision metal tubular assembly business which is part of Sanjeev Gupta’s GFG Alliance, has won the International Trade category in the prestigious Queen’s Awards for Enterprise 2020.
The Oldbury-based firm, which was established over 100 years ago and acquired by GFG’s LIBERTY House business in 2015, won the award for growth in exports that doubled over two years to £4.7m in 2018/19. Accles & Pollock specialises in high-spec components for aerospace engines, nuclear submarines and land-based power generation.
The increase in exports was a response to key customers such as Rolls-Royce extending their manufacturing presence across the globe. More than half of Accles and Pollock’s sales now come from overseas markets spanning Singapore, USA, Canada, France and Germany.
Accles & Pollock, which employs 50 people, is a leading manufacturer of rigid and flexible pipes, aerospace ducts and tube coils for high integrity applications across the aerospace, medical, nuclear, scientific, and oil and gas sectors.
