The UK automotive industry’s boom has positively impacted Birmingham plastic injection moulding specialist Barkley Plastics. The company has announced more than £1m of new contracts, including work producing interior parts for automotive companies and a rising supercar manufacturer. Barkley Plastics’ business development manager, Matt Harwood, commented: “Investment in the domestic auto sector has gone through the roof and we have certainly benefitted from being located close to a number of major plants. There is also a willingness to buy parts from the UK, with many of the orders we’ve secured won back from overseas.”
