Congratulations are in order for one of our members, TB Davies (whose Managing Director David Gray is also Chairman of our Association), as they announce expansion of their Cardiff manufacturing facility.

T.B Davies manufactures and distributes a range of access products for working at height, including steps, ladders, towers, and podiums for professional, trade and domestic users.

The firm employs 27 people at its Lewis Road site in Splott and achieved a turnover of £7.8 million in 2023, up from £7.1 million in 2021.

The company’s newly expanded facility, now spanning a 3.5-acre site, includes 31,000 square feet of offices and warehousing space with the potential to add 14,000 square feet as demand grows. The facility is equipped with cutting-edge, fully automatic machinery to produce high-volume aluminium extension ladders and assemble combination steps from Little Giant Ladder Systems, for which it holds the exclusive UK licence.

The expansion has already created six new jobs, with more expected as production scales up.

The upgrade to their production facilities forms part of T.B. Davies’ commitment to enhance its sustainability practices. The company, recognising the need to improve its engineering capabilities while reducing environmental impacts, recently embarked on a transformative journey in sustainability. Taking part in the Business Wales Accelerated Growth Programme Carbon Emission Reduction Pilot in 2022 led to the development of an award-winning detailed carbon reduction plan.

Since then, T.B Davies has made strides in minimising its environmental footprint by sourcing materials locally, using solar energy, minimising plastic packaging, and introducing hybrid vehicles as part of their commitment to achieve Net Zero by 2050.

Congratulations to everyone involved! We absolutely love to see our members grow and innovate 💙 👏
