Constant Group has embarked on a major expansion programme, with a significant investment of approximately £3m across new equipment, buildings and infrastructure to support its next phase of growth.
The Oldham-based manufacturing and technology business is undertaking the investment to substantially increase production capability, with capacity expected to triple as a result of the programme.
The expansion comes amid a period of strong trading performance, with the business reporting growth of approximately 37% in the first quarter of the year, reflecting increasing demand across telecoms, data centre and critical infrastructure sectors.
The investment includes the purchase and refurbishment of an adjacent unit at Constant Group’s headquarters and two high precision machines. This will enable Constant Group to scale its end-to-end capabilities – from design and prototyping through to manufacture and delivery – supporting more complex, higher-value projects.
Matt Garlick, co-Managing Director at Constant Group, said:
“Following an exceptionally strong start to the year, this investment represents a natural next step for the business as we scale.
“We are seeing increasing demand for the type of innovative, practical solutions we deliver, particularly within telecoms and critical infrastructure. By investing significantly in our facilities and capabilities, we are positioning ourselves to meet that demand at scale.
“Tripling our capacity is a major milestone, but it’s also about much more than volume. It allows us to continue evolving as a high-value engineering partner solving complex challenges and supporting some of the UK’s most important infrastructure programmes.”
The £3m programme forms part of Constant Group’s wider growth strategy, focused on sustained year-on-year expansion and building long-term value through innovation, operational capability and strategic partnerships.
The investment also reinforces the company’s commitment to its Oldham base, supporting continued job creation, skills development and its ambition to strengthen its reputation as a leading regional employer within advanced manufacturing.
