Due to rapid recent growth and strong forward customer demand, Insensys has leased additional facilities to enable us to continue our expansion. The new offices at Manor Court are 2 minutes walk from our existing Kingdom Close facility, and will house our Engineering, Finance, Management and business support functions. Employees will start to occupy Manor Court in line with UK Government lockdown guidance.

This move has enabled us to modify our Kingdom Close facility for entirely production activities and increases our production space by 35%. We have invested around £50,000 in additional production tooling, re-organised and expanded our production organisation, and modified work flow through the building. By August, we will have double the production capacity we had in January.

Insensys CEO, Chris Knox, says:

The additional facility space is essential for our ongoing growth. It has been challenging making these upgrades to our business in the current pandemic circumstances, but it’s a great challenge to have and the changes make a much more pleasant working environment for our employees. We’ve been surprised how quickly our customers have ramped up their production and we have to keep up, as well as preparing ourselves for further growth as we introduce new product lines into the market. It is a really exciting time for the business, and I’m grateful to all our employees for their efforts and patience as we’ve implemented changes. We are well on track to achieve “Medium Size Enterprise” status next year – well ahead of our original planning.
