As part of his recent Birmingham visit, the Minister for Business Enterprise, Mark Prisk, spent time with aerospace coatings manufacturer Indestructible Paint at its Sparkhill plant.
After welcoming him to the company, technical sales manager, Graham Armstrong, operations director, Alan Norton and finance director, John Toon discussed with Prisk the legislative issues that seriously affect research and development. This was followed by a tour of the company's development facilities including a discussion with various members of its technical staff.
Following the discussions Prisk commented: “I was impressed to see the innovation taking place at Indestructible and how it enables the company to expand and enhance its wide range of advanced engineering coatings - such as those capable of protecting large jet aero-engine components operating at extremely high temperatures. With over a quarter of its workforce involved in research and development, Indestructible is clearly a highly skilled, advanced manufacturer. And with around half of its output being exported, this successful and dynamic small business is generating wealth not only for the Midlands, but also to the benefit of the wider UK economy."
