Managing director Trevor Heyworth established Techni-Cable as a one-man operation in 2005, with marketing manager, Alex Keen, joining in 2007. At the start of 2009, Techni-Cable moved to bigger premises and recruited six new members of staff to become an eight-man operation.

Techni-Cable’s products include stainless steel wire rope, stainless steel cable, wire rope fittings and stainless cable components, as well as small diameter stainless and galvanised cable, PVC, nylon and plastic covered wire ropes and assemblies, catenary wire, stainless cable railing balustrading, gym cables and cable grips.

Heyworth said the company now turns over GBP60,000 a month, holds GBP100,000 of stock and is preparing for future growth.

“Having just celebrated our fifth anniversary, the business is unusual in the industry in that we have enjoyed dynamic growth without employing sales reps or by cold calling,” said Heyworth.

“Ecommerce combined with good business sense has been the driving force that has taken our business turnover from zero to more than GBP500,000 per annum in less than five years.

“We now look set to become a leading player in the wire rope industry in future years.”
