A double-double for Chesterfield company Valve & Process Solutions
Chesterfield-based company Valve & Process Solutions celebrated two milestones this month: doubling their annual turnover and doubling their space by taking on a new building.
The firm, which provides flow control products to the process industry and was founded in 2005, has taken on an additional 1900 sq foot warehouse next to its existing building, increasing its footprint two-fold. This follows the announcement made by Founder and Managing Director Steve Pearson, stating that the business’ annual turnover has doubled in the last twelve months from £1.5m to £3m, driven by an increase in exports to meet worldwide demand.
Steve commented: “Three years ago, when we moved into our existing unit, our business employed 4 people and now we have a team of ten.”
“And in the past 18 months we’ve moved from doing no international business whatsoever to doing business in 28 countries. It’s a huge testament to our engineers’ knowledge and experience in real-world solutions: customers come to us for advice and to solve challenges.”
“We’re thrilled to announce our doubling in turnover and expansion into additional space to enable VPS to further grow and continue to meet UK and international demand.”
Valve & Process Solutions supplies individual products, and builds ready-to-use, combination solutions for customers’ specifications. VPS is a supporter of The 2018 Year of Engineering – a national campaign to inspire the next generation of engineers and widen the pool of young people who join the profession.
