Oxley Developments has secured a place on Sharing in Growth (SiG), the UK government-backed aerospace productivity and competitiveness programme. Oxley aims to double turnover after five years and treble turnover after ten years of working with Sharing in Growth’s business transformation experts.

This growth will also see the creation of a number of new jobs based at the Priory Park site in Cumbria.

Oxley designs and manufactures LED lighting, night vision products and electronic components for the aerospace and defence sector. The company was founded in 1942 and has a 160 strong team at its base in Cumbria, offering a full end to end design and manufacturing service. Oxley works with major aerospace companies across the globe including Boeing, Saab, Gulfstream, Lockheed Martin, and Airbus.

Recent key projects include full LED external lighting suites for the Gulfstream G500 and G600, a full range of external lighting for the Saab Gripen, the development of a full suite of external lights for KF-X in South Korea and specialist lighting for the KC-46 tanker program for Boeing.

Oxley applied to join SiG to improve efficiency and transform processes, culture and skills throughout the business enabling them to achieve ambitious growth and export targets.

SiG, which this year won the national Semta Skills Innovation Award, individually tailors and delivers an intense and integrated programme of training, coaching and mentoring for ambitious companies in the aerospace supply chain.

The programme focuses on leadership, culture and operational capability, delivered by SiG’s own 120 strong team of business coaches as well as a bank of world-leading experts including The University of Cambridge’s Institute for Manufacturing, Deloitte, Industry Forum and the National Physical Laboratory.
