Business Growth

“We started off operating from a room from home 30 years ago, and now have revenue of £1.6m and operate from a 6000sq ft factory in Northampton. Being so close to Silverstone, there are over 1000 high performance technology businesses in our area, many of whom are diversifying into other areas, and this makes Northamptonshire a great place for technology businesses who need good suppliers.”
Karen Holland, CEO, XCAM
