Tek had a satisfactory year in what can only be described as difficult market conditions.
The increase in minimum wage and National Insurance has not affected us because we have always paid our team well above these rates and continue to do so, in fact it has help stop competitors undercutting our prices to some extent, however TEK has always been about quality products and innovation not “a race to the bottom“ when it comes to pricing.
We have increased our turnover, cash position, and margins and continue to enjoy no borrowing or debt putting us in a very strong position. During the financial year we have outright purchased some electric vehicles and advanced Lazer coating equipment, and we continue to integrate AI into our systems wherever possible.
Our factory visits have continued to prove very popular and helped cement relationships with clients old and new who now have a better understanding about TEK’s ethos of constant technology innovation and improving service levels.
We have introduced and have in development new ecofriendly finishes, plus we have further diversified our client base including luxury vehicles and transport sectors, WW exports continue to grow as our reputation for innovation spreads and manufacturers approach us to help develop their products.
