The £40,000 injection, which is being supplied by UK Steel Enterprise, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Steel, will be used by Bourne to develop systems that will enable it to better cope with shortened lead times and an upturn in order volumes.

Mark Bourne, managing director of Bourne Technical Mouldings, said: “We can normally manage the long lead times in our industry but new orders have started coming in which could have added extra pressures.

"Over the last 18 months we have been consolidating our market share and aim to win even more in order to grow.

“Thanks to the funding from UK Steel Enterprise we can approach the future full of confidence and look toward securing even more market share.”

Keith Williams, Regional Manager for UK Steel Enterprise said the decision to provide finance to Bourne Technical Mouldings was based on the company’s growth and ability to provide skilled jobs in the West Midlands.
