A technology enabler , GW extensively collaborates with automotive brands and empowers them to achieve the best possible outcomes . From design consultancy , tool design and manufacture to prototype casting , finishing , machining , and assembly , GW supports all types of projects . Jay Schofield , Group Commercial Director , guides us through the company ’ s journey to success .

“ Brothers-in-law Vernon Grainger and Charles Worrall established the business in 1946 , starting out as pattern makers . In the 1980s , under second generation leadership , GW transitioned into being a foundry . Throughout the 1990s , our core focus was on becoming the leading foundry in the world . To achieve that goal , GW undertook the most difficult projects that others did not want to get involved with . As a result , GW ’ s reputation for high-end , upper echelon work in predominantly cylinder heads and blocks amongst the motorsport sector grew very quickly . This reputation led the company to contribute to more technically challenging programs for which the marketplace does not offer immediate solutions . Within 20 years of existence , GW saw its year-on-year expansion rate grow to 15-to-20 percent , which has led the way to where we are today ,” he begins .
