CW Fletcher was approached by Rolls Royce to produce a ‘special box’ which turned out to be a square tube designed to support nuclear fuel rods for Harwell, the first reactor in Britain. This began CW Fletcher’s connection with the nuclear sector.
1950's
1999
The company moved its premises to their current location in Sheffield, with close proximity to Junction 31 on the M1.
This gave the company the much needed opportunity to modernise the manufacturing facility, consolidate all parts of the company into one site and further the process of diversification of CW Fletcher’s order book.
CW Fletcher’s drive for continuous improvement and growth remains unbroken as the company invests in a new, purpose-built manufacturing facility onsite.
