Manufacturing & Engineering
Manufacturing and engineering is all about creation – and that’s exactly what Greater Lincolnshire wants to do.
Across the region, there are over 2350 businesses operating in the exciting manufacturing and engineering industry, including power engineering, chemical, steel manufacturing and motorsport engineering. With many of these exporting around the globe; Greater Lincolnshire’s creations are being used across the world. Within this innovate industry, businesses are always looking for passionate and creative people to add to the region’s manufacturing and engineering heritage. Greater Lincolnshire evidences a strong manufacturing and engineering heritage and is very proud of this outstanding position as a nationally important centre for manufacturing. Tracing a long tradition of manufacturing excellence underpinned by a highly skilled and loyal workforce. Greater Lincolnshire is home to world-class companies including Siemens. The sector delivers a direct economic value to the Greater Lincolnshire economy of £2.1 billion per year and employs approximately 41,000 people with growth taking place across several key areas, including engineering, chemicals, metals and polymers. Confidence in the area's manufacturing industry has been boosted by gas turbine giant Siemens, who have invested millions into a new development at Teal Park, near Lincoln, after finding it the best option UK wide for expansion. The metals and engineering sector in North Lincolnshire boasts more than 90 businesses and almost 6,000 employees. Greater Grimsby is at the centre of a major concentration of process industries, which in the wider Humber region employs around 15,000 people in 20 120 companies. The process industries are incredibly diverse and include petrochemicals; commodity and speciality chemicals; composite materials; pigments and paints; and pharmaceuticals. In the last ten years, the Humber Chemical Focus has grown into one of the UK's leading regional chemical initiatives, with more than 100 members. The HCF works with companies and organisations within the region to create and support industry. While the number of the people employed in this sector has declined over the last 10 years nationally, Greater Lincolnshire has fared better, losing approximately a quarter of its employment compared to a third across Great Britain. The value of the sector has continued to rise over this time, and is set to do so in the future. We continue to excel in the manufacturing sector, offering a fresh skills pool to local employers through the first purpose-built School of Engineering for 20 years at the University of Lincoln.

Meet the team:
David (Company Director) has been working on cars since the age of 11 when he first got behind the steering wheel of a 1956 Morris Isis and learned to drive around the yard at the family home. Apprenticed in 1971 for five years and still learning 37 years later , proud to have worked with some real tradesmen. During that time the job has seen many changes mostly good, but sadly some things not so. Every day brings a new challenge, sometimes frustration, but always satisfaction and pride.
Andy has shadowed his brother Dave since he left school with a few variations of employers but shares the same love of the job. He joined Barkston Refinishing in May 1983 and celebrates 35 years with the company this year.
Paul son of David was born to spray. Loves to paint something different and wants to hear from you! Normally nobody sees the efforts of his labour as his job is to repair the car so that no one can tell its been done. Give him something different to do and make him happy!
Rosemarie married David in 1977 and still loves him. – what a woman! Rosemarie mans the office on a Friday and generally looks after the money. She is a pussycat most of the time but is feared in accounts departments and by debtors who dare to exceed our credit terms without telling her
Adam has loved classic cars every since he was 11 when he built a 1976 Triumph Spitfire 1500 from a bare shell upwards and every since he was ready to do anything with a car from learning how to paint it to how to do bodywork on it from welding to panel beating, Adam is our apprentice, joined in September 2016 and is making a good start to his career
