£700K funding to support Yorkshire engineering firm transformation

The initiative will provide Sylatech with an intense and comprehensive programme of training, coaching and development, tailored to its specific needs, and drive operation and performance enhancements in the business.

Sylatech delivers custom precision engineering solutions covering investment casting, RF/microwave sub-systems and assemblies as well as machining.

The Sylatech team will work alongside Sharing in Growth’s highly 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 £700K of funded support to Sylatech and will be delivered over a 27-month period.

Charlie Breese, Sylatech’s managing director commented: “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 COVID-19 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 that we will quickly re-grow our business and create something of which we can all be very proud, for the years ahead.
