Weston is not perceived by ourselves or our customers as a sub-contracting organisation. We prefer to develop much deeper and closer relationships… long-term business associations, which benefit both parties. We effectively become an extension to our customers' own manufacturing capabilities. By being party to their current needs and future aspirations, we can work closely with them to maintain a globally effective alliance. Often these long-term partnerships involve Life of Programme agreements.

We prefer to work on a wide range of projects for a small number of customers so we get to know each one exceptionally well.

This is enhanced by our 'cellular' working structure - we operate both product and customer-dedicated teams. In this way, the teams develop an almost intuitive understanding of the customer's requirements.

What's more, we are more than willing to invest in new facilities to meet customer needs. One of the world's leading computer manufacturers commissioned us to produce a range of DISK DRIVE ASSEMBLIES. WE BUILT A NEW FACTORY, EQUIPPED IT WITH FULLY AUTOMATED MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY. THEN SELECTED AND TRAINED A DEDICATED TEAM.

All our customers, and those with whom we would like to do business, quite justifiably have high expectation of their suppliers in terms of a performance matrix and the overall service issues. It is always our aim to go significantly further, to break new ground with effective and creative service innovations. As we hope you'll soon discover, customer satisfaction is something we're passionate about.

One example of this is worth mentioning. Weston customers are often suppliers to global brand names. Before our customer wins a contract to supply their product the end user must have the confidence that the supply chain is of the highest calibre.

To this end, Weston customers are encouraged to invite their clients to visit our facilities for a Manufacturing Readiness Review (MRR). Modesty apart, as our people and facilities are exceptional, such a visit has often helped to secure a contract for our customers. This underscores the 'partnership' ethic that drives us here at Weston.
