The new owner at Chris Biggs Engineering aims to take the 50-year-old business forward with ambitious plans for the steel fabrication company in Cornwall.
—
Cornish company Chris Biggs Engineering is now under new ownership, following the founder’s decision to step back from day-to-day duties after more than 50 years in business.
The Fowey-based steel fabrication company was recently acquired by local business consultant Clay Cowie, who plans to expand the business to meet the growing demands of residential, commercial, agricultural and marine construction projects in the South West.
Established by Chris Biggs in 1969, the company has been involved in thousands of steel manufacturing projects in and outside of Cornwall over the years, including refurbishment works at Truro Cathedral.
It has also been central to the transformation of Fowey’s waterfront over the past few decades, having designed, manufactured and installed many of the stunning wrap-around balconies and spiral staircases adorning houses along the river.
Chris Biggs has now semi-retired, although he will still be involved in big projects and key decisions concerning the business.
New owner Clay Cowie commented: “It’s an honour to be working with this long-established and well-respected local business. It’s come a long way since its humble beginnings over 50 years ago. I plan to build on this reputation and grow the company so it thrives for decades to come.”
With quality British craftsmanship and strong company values, Chris Biggs Engineering remains committed to its ever-growing customer base and works in collaboration with clients to provide outstanding design, manufacture and installation services.
The team of quality craftsmen prides itself in engineering excellence, which it passes on to new staff members through its apprenticeship scheme.
Since taking over the company, Mr Cowie has invested in a new website (www.chrisbiggs.com) and established a robust advertising strategy to help drive the business forward into the next generation.
Mr Cowie is keen to expand further into the market for modern glass and stainless-steel balconies, which allow homeowners to transform their living spaces and enhance their views with beautiful balustrades.
Other metalwork services offered by the company include spiral staircases, railings, fencing and electric gate installation.
Mr Cowie added: “Chris Biggs Engineering has been trading in the beautiful Fowey Valley, Cornwall for over 50 years. The latest business developments will help to secure the company’s success in the region for the future.”
