St.Helens The Heart of the North West

Newton-Le-Willows based, New-Tonne Lifting Services Ltd, has boosted their profits after turning to St.Helens Chamber for support.

Through the Chamber’s ‘Business Winning Business’ project, funded by the Local Enterprise Growth Initiative, New-Tonne Lifting has been able to install Pro-Engineer software, greatly increasing the company’s productivity.

Helen Graham, Supply Chain Development Manager at St Helens Chamber, explained: “One of our main aims at the Chamber is to help local companies develop, and most importantly, grow.

“Helping companies to integrate new technologies into their business is just one way we are able to help them achieve this. Through our close partnership with Liverpool University’s iD2M centre we have been able to show companies how ICT can help them prosper in demanding markets.”

Benjamin Dobbs, Design Engineer at Newtonne lifting, added: “Finding a way to give your company the edge over your competitors is always a challenge, so the help the Chamber could offer was a great  support.

“Since installing the new software we have saved approximately one day per project, which equates to approximately five days a month. 

“This has led to at least 10 more projects being completed since installing the software, giving an increased turn over of over £40,000 to date.”

The iD2M centre integrates digital systems from design through to manufacturing and marketing, creating the internationally recognised skills needed to improve  overall efficiency, reduce waste and boost marketing and  sales.
