What is it?
SBMS provides practical engineering support for businesses with workshops, plant and production processes. Drawing on a hands-on background in manufacturing, rail and engineering, we help with fabrication quality and inspection, equipment and maintenance management, technical documentation and compliance. Whether you're preparing for BS EN 1090 or ISO 3834, responding to a customer's quality requirements, or getting control of your plant and equipment, we focus on practical solutions that work on the shop floor. Where specialist design or welding engineering is needed, we work alongside your own engineers, welding coordinator or an independent specialist.
Who needs it?
- Fabricators, engineering firms and manufacturers
- Businesses with workshops, plant and machinery to manage
