Wired for success

Company Name: Phoenix Dynamics Ltd

The last few years have been a dream come true for Phoenix Dynamics. Founded in 1994, the company averaged a steady annual turnover of several hundred thousand pounds. But four years ago, it started on a journey that would eventually reward it with contracts totalling more than $5 million with the US Department of Defense.

The Staffordshire-based company makes inter-connection products for the defence, energy, rail and commercial industries. Its main products include wire harnesses, power and control boxes, NATO slave adaptors, trailer lighting systems, and leads for use in power management, generators, ancillary systems, weapons systems and other industrial products.

“For more than 10 years, we were a UK business with clients solely in the UK,” says Graeme Boull, Managing Director of Phoenix Dynamics. “But, in 2005 the company was presented with an opportunity to export, and we took full advantage of it. That decision has resulted in tremendous growth for Phoenix Dynamics.”
