Derby engineer banks on China deal
SCITEK Consultants, based in Derby, has won an engineering contract from China. The contract win, which will create four jobs, was secured after the company obtained financial backing from NatWest.
SCITEK, which specialises in engineering focused research and development, has won a contract with the Institute of Nuclear Physics and Chemistry in China.
The company, which is based on the Jubilee Parkway in Derby, employs 18 people.
To ensure it had the required guarantees and bonds to trade with China, the company secured a financial and international package from NatWest's Derby office.
Marios Christodoulou, senior consultant and founder of SCITEK Consultants, said: "Over the last 13 years the Company has developed and grown because of our broad skills base, flexible company structure and customer service excellence. This has enabled us to accommodate short and long duration projects that we can carry out at client sites or at our own laboratory.
"These skills, our expertise and our focus on customer service has ensured our client base has returned for new work and has grown in the specialist fields of mechanical, aero, control systems, instrumentation and software engineering. This is certainly true of our new contract with INPC. Winning this contract is great news not only for SCITEK Consultants Ltd but also the economy, as it will create new jobs and help our growth plans."
