Brunel Engraving Company

CUTTING EDGE CLEVEDON COMPANY LEADS THE MARKET

Brunel Engraving is a leading commercial and industrial engraving specialist which provides bespoke engraving services to local, national and overseas customers.

Established in Clevedon as a privately owned venture by entrepreneurial engineer, Martyn Wright, in 1989, the company has developed from humble origins to become one of the largest and most successful engraving businesses in the UK.

Expansion and Development

Originally specialising purely in engraving, Brunel moved into printing and etching to further extend its breadth of services. The company now established in modern 5,000 square foot premises, the offices, workshop and design facility are all based on one site where the company today employs 27 local people. .

Brunel has developed a unique portfolio and a reputation for excellence and is recognised as a preferred supplier to the Palace. It has three dedicated websites and an extensive commercial engraving arm. Growth has been consistent over the years and the company boasts an impressive client base including big name customers such as Marks and Spencer, Sainsbury and The Body Shop and prominent clients in the aerospace, mechanical and structural engineering and offshore oil industries.

Innovation and Investment in Technology

Investment in the latest technology has effectively enabled Brunel Engraving to quadruple its output and has been a key factor in the company’s sustained success. In recent years over £100,000 has been spent on technologically advanced machinery including a state of the art chemical etching system, a Wide Format Sublimation printer and a Flat Bed UV printer and the latest computer controlled rotary and laser engraving machines.

The technologically advanced machinery used for producing printed metal labels, badges, name plates and exterior signs has made a significant impact on business, enabling the company to undertake sophisticated print operations and to tackle the most complicated procedures with a quick response, increased production levels and improved overall quality.

Brunel is able to meet a whole host of engraving needs from a wide spectrum of customers; from blue chip clients to small trophy shops which require an effective and competitive trade partner to fulfil their engraving orders.

Innovation keeps the business moving forward and new materials, additional features and techniques are constantly being introduced. Earlier this year Brunel added hard wearing acrylic based Corian to its product portfolio, as it retains its finish and doesn’t dull with age. It also introduced the optional feature of including photographic imagery on its latest collection of quartz, slate, granite and marble effect commemorative and memorial plaques.

“The business today is significantly different to that of 1989”, says Martyn Wright.

“Not only do we use rotary engraving we now also have laser engraving, chemical etching, anodic print, dye sublimation print, flatbed UV print and wide format UV print.

“From the very start customer satisfaction has always been our priority and we pride ourselves on offering an individual bespoke service with a fast turnaround and attention to detail for all of its customers, however large or small”.

A Lasting Testament

Hard work, dedication to customer care and investment in cutting edge technology and staff development are the key to Brunel Engraving’s sustained success over the years. Its work is in evidence throughout the whole of the country, from the inscriptions at the base of the beautiful Isis sculpture in London’s Hyde Park and those at the recently opened Shakespeare’s New Place to the Adlington War Memorial crafted in Quartz effect Corian. Each engraving is a lasting testament to the skill and dedication of this leading UK business.
