Automation specialist on track for record year
A Telford industrial automation specialist is on track for its ‘best-ever year’ as it celebrates rising sales and securing two new offices.
Iconsys, a provider of power, control, and automation solutions, has seen sales soar by £5m over the past twelve months after securing a series of new contracts across various industries, including maritime, construction materials, metals, energy, transportation and consumer goods.
The firm also invested in two additional technical office facilities at Sci-Tech Daresbury in Cheshire and Lanarkshire, Scotland.
It achieved a turnover of £14.5m by the end of its 2024 financial year, leading to an increase in its workforce to 81 employees, with a recruitment drive underway for 15 more engineers and support staff.
Nick Darrall, managing director of Iconsys, said: “Companies across all markets are switching on to the many benefits our control and automated solutions can provide, in terms of improved safety, reliability, efficiency, reducing obsolescence risk and transitioning to net zero. This is translating into a massive growth opportunity for our business.
“Having two new Northern offices offers greater flexibility and allows for a more engaging experience for our existing staff living in and around the region and opens up the talent pool to boost our growing team of ‘best in class’ engineers. Our customers will also benefit from having ‘boots on the ground’ in their area.
“Sales have rocketed towards £15m and our pipeline is looking very healthy for the next twelve months. The way we deliver value at all stages of the process, from consulting, design and building to manufacture, installation and service support sets us apart from our competitors. We are also ‘technology platform-independent’ which is another unique differentiator, that ensures our
customers always get the optimal solution.”
