The People Behind WH Kemp
Hands-On Experience, From the Factory Floor Up
Practical manufacturing knowledge, personal responsibility and pride in doing the job properly.
The people behind WH Kemp are the reason customers stay with us. Across almost 60 years, we have built a business where practical manufacturing knowledge, personal responsibility and genuine pride in doing the job properly are valued just as highly as machinery, quality systems and certifications.
Every member of our management team has a hands-on understanding of manufacturing. Several began on the factory floor and progressed through production, quality and project management. Others joined from major international manufacturers, bringing proven best practice in operations, quality and continuous improvement.
With almost 60 years of manufacturing knowledge and more than 50 skilled cable assembly specialists, WH Kemp supports everything from early prototypes and complex high-mix programmes to long-term production supply.
