Supporting the Community

For almost half a century, Westcombe Engineering has been a pioneer, remaining true to its unique founding principle – to provide employment and development opportunities for disabled people who face barriers in securing gainful employment. The company was set up in 1970 by the late Royce W. Westcombe, who had a vision of enabling disabled men and women into work, and an unerring dedication to equip disabled workers with the skills and knowledge that would allow them to pursue careers in the wider economy.

Our Skilled Workforce

Even the most cursory glance at our modernised workshop layout, and the sight of our highly capable engineers and workshop staff producing highly complex, machined components on a daily basis, reveals the strengths of our talented disabled staff. Our history and continued success in this area is a genuine source of pride, and we are always happy to showcase the positives of our unique approach. In partnership with local colleges, our internships and work experience programme provide a gateway to ongoing careers in the engineering industry
