Clarendon Engineering drives up business in the fast lane.

Leicestershire based company Clarendon Engineering has won a contract to supply international car giant Skoda with components from their product range thanks to the help and support of UKTI.

Highly reputed within their line of business, Clarendon Engineering has a global customer portfolio, distributing high quality fasteners, components and seals to the Motorsport, Aerospace and Defence industries.

The company, which already has world famous customers like Audi and Ferrari, is now in the driving seat with Czech Republic based firm Skoda after they impressed the international car manufacturer with the quality of the products and service they provide at a meeting that was arranged by UKTI.

The meeting took place at the Professional Motorsport World Tradeshow in Cologne, Germany where UKTI International Trade Advisors held seminars for exhibitors to advise on how best to market their company and indicate why and where the most likely potential customers were located throughout the show.

Paul Sanders, Business Unit Manager at Clarendon Engineering said: “UKTI have opened doors for us to companies that would have taken a long time to reach ourselves”. “We are hoping to export to Japan and Australia next and will definitely seek the help of UKTI again.”

Ian Thompson, International Trade Advisor at UKTI East Midlands said: “It is fantastic to see an East Midlands based company trading on a global scale. “The team at Clarendon Engineering have got real enthusiasm for what they do. I have really enjoyed working with the company and look forward to doing so again in the future.”
