In 1955 Arthur Bradley and James Sweetnam formed a partnership "Sweetnam & Bradley" working on electrical assemblies at their first official premises at Bristol Road, Malmesbury. Both came from an electronics background with Arthur Bradley working for the BBC, where he was involved with radio and the early days of television.

In 1970 the company moved to a purpose built facility on the Gloucester Road Industrial Estate. Since then the company has moved with the times, with the first CNC punching machine being installed back in 1985.

Since this time, additional extensions have been added to the original facility, with the total work area now exceeding 20,000 square feet. We have procured additional Amada CNC machines and have continually reinvested in both plant and workforce.

We are now the premier sheet metal work company in Wiltshire.

Sweetnam & Bradley have now achieved their goal of offering a complete in-house fabrication and finishing facility. The complexity of components/assemblies to manufacture differs from customer to customer. Some of the assemblies produced at Sweetnam & Bradley Ltd have up to 40 individual processes, from cutting, bending right through to multi-colour finishing and printing.

In order to offer this type of service, our internal quality systems must be robust, with full traceability to ensure that improvements and efficiencies can be made where possible.

It is testament to this system that we are able to control and produce quality components and assemblies time and again.
