The
UK's leading provider of switchgear, monitoring and service solutions,
Mardix, has ranked 68th in The Sunday Times PricewaterhouseCoopers
Profit Track 100 with a growth increase of 58% from 1.7m in 2005 to 6.6m
in 2008.
One
of only 9 companies in the North West region to feature in the list,
Cumbrian based Mardix lines up alongside more than 30 manufacturing and
engineering companies to receive the accolade.
Delivering
innovation at the highest level, Mardix has more than 40 years of
industry leading experience. Established in 1966, Mardix's ongoing
success is due in no small part to a unique combination of skills in
switchgear, monitoring and service, and an effective business model that
delivers an integrated solution for every aspect of the critical power
life cycle.
Managing Director Gary Dixon explains: "The
combination of in-house skills across the power life cycle enables us to
be completely scalable; we can deliver cost effective solutions ranging
from single switchboards to large turnkey packages. The ability to
address each aspect of the power life cycle without outsourcing is
complemented by our production of custom engineered products with built
in cost and space saving features – those two factors enable us to work
with a huge range of clients across sectors."
Supplying clients on
a multinational basis is also credited as a success factor, and the
company will continue to look to the Middle East and continental Europe
for continued expansion:
"The theory is that business
relationships formed at this time in the economic life cycle are longer
lasting, and we are very aware that our success is due in no small
measure to the opportunities that clients have opened up to our company.
We are keen to continue exploring new markets without compromising on
the service delivered to our existing client base." Comments Gary.
The
Mardix approach also exemplifies the belief that innovation is the key
to recession survival. Mardix have secured their market leading position
through continuous investment in ongoing product development and high
level Research & Development. The success of this approach can be
seen in their 3D solid modelling design expertise, the development of
the advanced Mardix busbar system, and the holy grail of ASTA type
testing – a 6300A naturally air cooled switchboard range.
Gary
concludes: "Whilst we are incredibly proud of our achievements, and to
be 68th in the list, we are far from complacent; it's business as usual
for every member of staff as we work even harder to cement our working
relationships and produce high quality products. The 2008/09 financial
year end results are very strong, and with improvements in both turnover
and profit we hope to feature in the list again next year. It's all
very encouraging – particularly against a background of a deepening
downturn."
