As the marketing and PR partner for Blackrow Group, we’re delighted to celebrate a major milestone for one of the UK’s most respected engineering specialists. This year marks 45 years of Blackrow Group, a business that has grown from a local fabrication firm into a multi‑disciplinary engineering leader with sites in Grimsby and Leicester, serving blue‑chip clients across food and beverage, petrochemical and renewable sectors.
Since 1980, Blackrow has built a reputation defined by precision, responsiveness and a deep commitment to customer service. Today, with a team of more than 350 people, the company continues to expand its capabilities and deliver innovative, value‑driven engineering solutions.
Blackrow’s Managing Director Tony Booker captured the spirit of the anniversary perfectly:
“Our people make us who we are. From apprentices to seasoned engineers, every individual plays a role in delivering the quality and responsiveness our clients rely on. That’s what keeps us moving forward.”
As Blackrow’s long‑term marketing and PR partner, we’ve had the privilege of telling the story behind that success, Account Director Emma Turner said:
“Blackrow’s growth is rooted in a genuine commitment to its people, its clients and its community. Supporting the team in sharing that story has been a privilege, and this anniversary is a testament to everything they stand for.”
Blackrow’s legacy includes landmark projects across food manufacturing and heavy industry, alongside a recent multi‑million‑pound contract with a leading global client; a clear demonstration of the company’s capability and credibility.
Beyond engineering, Blackrow continues to invest in its community and the future of the industry. With more than 40 apprentices taken on in recent years, the business is helping shape the next generation of British engineering talent.
As Blackrow celebrates 45 years, we’re proud to support a brand that remains focused on innovation, sustainability and world‑class engineering — always with people at the heart of its success.
