Here are 4 reasons we are afraid you might not want to join us:

• We operate in a high-feedback environment. You will be required to challenge, be challenged and face challenges. We recognise that this approach is not for everyone.

• We manufacture thousands of products every year. Our Production Team do outstanding work making sure that every product is as high quality as the last. This requires a high level of attention to detail and an enjoyment of repetitive tasks – we know that this routine work isn’t loved by all.
• We design and create various types of cables based on the customers’ requirements and specifications. This work also requires a very high level of attention to detail and problem solving.
