William King Ltd received the Jaguar Land Rover JLRQ Award at its Atlas Centre facility in West Bromwich. Andrew McClure, Global Supplier Technical Assistance Director at the global car maker, made the presentation in recognition of the company’s outstanding performance where it has achieved world-class ‘right first time’ and ‘on-time in-full’ delivery scores.
It marks the culmination of a £12m investment drive by the firm over the last 5 years that has seen it introduce a new press blanking line, slitting facility and a state-of-the-art stacker, helping it take on new work and to create and safeguard more than 50 jobs.
William King adds value to supply chains by supply chain management, processing and just-in-time delivery of metals.
The company currently works with several high-profile customers across the automotive, domestic appliance, metal packaging and general industry sectors, with the recent acquisition of Firsteel giving it the capability to provide specialist coated metals.
This enlarged offering is already paying dividends, opening up new opportunities as the business aims to build on a growing order book that will see it hit over £150m turnover in 2022.
