Looking Ahead to 2024: Ladbrook Mfg's Vision Takes Shape

As we set our sights on what’s to come in 2024, we're excited to share our vision and plans for the year ahead. But before we dive into the future, we’d like to look back at some of our memorable moments of 2023.


A New Chapter

2023 marked a pivotal moment for Ladbrook UK with the retirement of David Spinks, whose 70-year long legacy shaped our company's ethos. With hearts full of gratitude, we welcomed a fresh team of leaders, led by our new Managing Director, Patrick Johnson, alongside a stellar team of Directors ready to carry our business forward.


Elevating Our Capabilities

Last year, we made waves with our strategic investment in cutting-edge technology, including the purchase of state-of-the-art LVD equipment and the integration of CADMAN software. This leap catapulted Ladbrook UK into a new era of efficiency and precision, laying the groundwork for continued growth and success.


Celebrating 45 Years

Mark, our longest-serving member, whose dedication and versatility have made him an integral part of the Ladbrook UK family, celebrated his 45th anniversary with us in 2023. From his early days to his current role as our senior engineer, Mark has worn many hats with skill and passion. When he's not busy engineering solutions, you can find him cruising down the open road on his beloved motorbike. Mark's journey with Ladbrook UK is a testament to the values of loyalty, expertise, and unwavering dedication that define our company culture.


Embracing Innovation and Expansion

With our turnover doubling from £1.6m to £3.3m last year, it's clear we're on a path to even greater things. Our smart investments in technology and the expansion to a second site demonstrate our dedication to efficiency and top-notch customer service. These moves set the stage for ongoing growth and success in the years ahead. This year we’ll be inviting our clients and connections to an open day at our main site, where you can see our latest skills and high-tech equipment firsthand. You'll get a glimpse of our fantastic team in action, putting their passion and expertise into every project. More information on this will be shared soon.


Making Full Use of Our Resources

With a year of training, restructuring, and role development under our belts, Ladbrook UK is primed to leverage our new technologies to their fullest potential. Our directors and management team have undergone a transformation, armed with the knowledge and skills to drive innovation and excellence across every facet of our operations.


Exploring New Areas

This year, we’re setting our sights on new markets, with renewable energies emerging as a promising market. With our track record of excellence and commitment to sustainability, we're ready to become a trusted partner in the renewable energy sector, forging new partnerships and driving positive change.


Community Engagement 

But it's not all about business at Ladbrook UK. We're proud to continue our support for local initiatives, including our sponsorship of Overstrand Cricket Club and North Walsham Rugby Club for the second consecutive year. Also, our commitment to philanthropy remains strong, with ongoing support for Remy’s Foundation and The Priscilla Bacon Hospice Charity. This year, we also hope to support more local organisations and clubs - so watch this space!

As we embark on this journey into 2024 and beyond, we invite you to join us every step of the way. Whether you're a valued client, a dedicated team member, or a member of our fantastic community, your support fuels our passion and helps us move toward a future filled with promise and possibility.
