Our History

The company was established as J&S Engineering Company in 1973 within Birmingham's Jewellery quarter by experienced precision engineers John Hoey and Jim Philips. The name J & S Engineering was derived from the first letter of the Christian names of the partners and their wives, Sheila and Sandra respectively. The company then relocated to its current premises in Redditch, West Midlands in 1974 as the company expanded. In 1975, the company changed its name to Washford Engineering and formed KG Washford as its design arm in 1999, with the two merging together in 2009 under the KG Washford banner. In 2015, the company became part-owned by senior management, who remain actively involved in the day-to-day running of the business, ensuring the continuation of a reliable, high-quality service for our customers.
