Cable cleat manufacturer Ellis expands with eyes on future growth

Rillington-based cable cleat manufacturer, Ellis Patents has invested £500,000 in a 25% expansion of its headquarters.

The main element of the expansion is a new 10,000 sq ft warehouse, which was built by S Marshall.

While the new facility will be used primarily for assembly and storage, its construction has freed up 7,000 sq ft of space in existing parts of Ellis’ premises.

Richard Shaw, managing director of Ellis Patents, said: “The extended manufacturing space will allow us to increase our range of manufacturing processes, bring even more new and unique products to market, and widen the range of markets we serve.”

Danny Macfarlane, the firm’s operations director, said: “The new space is more logically planned, which has improved work-flow and reduced down time; making us significantly more efficient.”
