The Company

BCW was formed in 2002 by three friends; Paul Biggs, Alec Cassie, and Andy Whelan. Having worked together for a number of years, there was a desire to form their own manufacturing business, and with over 60 years of manufacturing experience between them, it was the next logical step.

They were approached by a prestigious UK automotive OEM who requested they manufacture some urgent critical parts, thus beginning BCW’s manufacturing involvement within the automotive industry, and the rest, they say, is history.

While Paul has since retired, he keeps a keen interest in the business. Meanwhile, Alec and Andy are now joint owners of BCW Group, maintaining involvement in group activities however BCW Group's Managing Director, Claire Whelan, now oversees the management of BCW Group with the three registered companies operating as BCW Engineering, BCW Treatments & BCW Design & Manufacture.

With continued investment, BCW have grown from a three-person business using one machine in a 2800 sq. ft unit, to a 300 plus strong team operating across multiple units on two sites.
