We’re thrilled to announce that Accura Engineering has been named the winner of the Aerospace, Automotive & Rail Award at the Made in the Midlands Awards 2025. This recognition highlights our ongoing leadership, technical capability, and investment in high-reliability aerospace manufacturing.
The award ceremony, held on 9 April at the Burlington Hotel in Birmingham, brought together some of the Midlands’ most respected manufacturing companies. Accura was celebrated for its strong sales performance, bold strategic diversification, and a £4 million investment in our new Centre of Excellence for Precision Machining.
This award affirms our role as a trusted supply chain partner for the UK’s most demanding aerospace programmes.
Purpose-built for critical aerospace programmes
Accura Engineering is not just a supplier but a strategic partner to Tier 1s and global OEMs. Each week, we manufacture over 50,000 aerospace components, supporting major civil and defence platforms.
Our facilities are fully certified to AS9100and NADCAP standards, with a quality-first culture that ensures traceability, repeatability, and compliancefrom prototype through to volume production.
We know what’s at stake in aerospace. That’s why our processes and people are aligned to deliver the precision, speed, and reliability our customers depend on.
What sets our aerospace capability apart:
- Advanced multi-axis CNC machining for complex, tight-tolerance parts
- NADCAP-accredited wire and spark EDM operations
- Scalable support for New Product Introduction (NPI)and production ramp-up
- Transparent communication and proactive programme management
- A focus on total cost of ownership, not just unit price
We understand the pressure on procurement and engineering teams with tight schedules, rigorous documentation, cost constraints, and the need for dependable long-term partners. Our model is designed to make your life easier, not harder.
"This award is a real validation of the direction we’ve taken,” says Sophie Hallett-Jones, Managing Director at Accura Engineering.
"We’re committed to being a strategic partner for the most demanding aerospace programmes—combining technical excellence, reliable delivery, and future-ready investment.”
Investing in the future of UK aerospace
Accura’s growth is no accident. Over the past year, we’ve delivered strong sales results and secured major new contracts across aerospace and defence. But we know long-term success depends on more than just performance, it requires vision.
That’s why we’ve invested £4 million into our new Centre of Excellence for Precision Machining, equipped with the latest multi-pallet 5-axis machining centres, in-process inspection, and lights-out automation.
This facility allows us to scale production while maintaining the quality and flexibility that aerospace customers demand. It also strengthens our ability to support complex assemblies, reduce lead times, and deliver greater value across the product lifecycle.
Our investment extends beyond equipment. We’re growing our apprenticeship and training programmes, embedding digital process control, and working collaboratively with customers to futureproof supply chains in an increasingly competitive global environment.
Accelerating innovation without compromising reliability
In today’s aerospace landscape, speed to market is critical but never at the expense of quality. That’s why our team is focused on supporting new product introduction with the same rigour and reliability we apply to volume production.
From prototype machining and process validation to scaled manufacturing and full documentation packs, we support each phase of your programme with clarity, compliance, and confidence.
Whether you’re building next-generation flight systems or complex defence sub-systems, we help accelerate innovation while maintaining the integrity your platform demands.
This award reflects the trust our customers place in us and a signal of our continued commitment to raising the bar in UK aerospace manufacturing.
