Sylatech, an engineering business in Kirkbymoorside, has been formally accepted as a beneficiary onto the aerospace transformation programme – Sharing in Growth.

It will provide Sylatech with an intense and comprehensive programme of training, coaching and development, tailored to its specific needs.

The company’s team will work alongside Sharing in Growth’s experienced coaches, as they share their industry expertise across a number of disciplines, including leadership, strategy, culture, lean manufacturing and business development.

The programme will provide £700,000 of funded support to the business and will be delivered over a 27-month period.

Charlie Breese, managing director, said: “The team at Sylatech are absolutely delighted to become a beneficiary of the Sharing in Growth programme and become part of its wider business community.

“In very difficult circumstances, we have undertaken an intensive diagnostic exercise to demonstrate our suitability for the programme, which has given us a clear insight into the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

“The aerospace sector has been significantly impacted by the pandemic and unfortunately we have experienced some pain, as this sector forms a large part of our customer base.

“With the support and commitment of Sharing in Growth’s expertise, we are very confident we will quickly re-grow our business and create something of which we can all be very proud for the years ahead.”
