Ventcroft is bucking the UK trend Ventcroft, one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of fire and intruder alarm cable, is bucking the UK trend in manufacturing and continues to go from strength-to-strength, despite stern competition in the market place. The company has seen significant growth in the last three-and-a-half years and has expanded four-fold, winning awards for inward investment. Ventcroft’s growth has come at a price though, as the company has become increasingly aware of a movement in the market to discredit the company and its product range, most specifically its Fire Performance cable. It has now even involved its local MEP, Brian Simpson, to represent it at a European level. A request has even been asked in the European Parliament for Peter Mandelson, the European Commissioner for competition, to investigate the matter further.
