DB-Automation hits £1.1m revenues
A Leicestershire entrepreneur has recorded a turnover of £1.1m at the plastics company he established two years ago.
David Bird founded DB-Automation in Broughton Astley in July 2009 after he was made redundant. The company designs and supplies machines and spares as well as an installation service in America, Asia, the Middle East, Europe and the UK.
It has completed its first full year of trading with a £1.1m turnover.
Bird said: "The company is self-funding as we sold my wife’s car and put our savings into the company to fund the new business. Money was tight and life style changes had to be made but our first full year of trading has proved that all our efforts have paid off.
"We have a lot of work in the pipeline and our reputation is growing with many exciting prospects on the horizon. I am confident that over the next 12 months we will gain more new business."
Bird worked alongside Yorkshire Bank's Coventry-based treasury team to help secure overseas deals.
