Brooks Forgings Ltd

The Brooks Engineering Group is now based at several locations throughout the Midlands and deals with an ever-growing global customer base.

As part of our Green & Clean Initiative to reduce carbon footprint and goal to improve communication across our group we have invested in a video conferencing suite at each of our 3 sites listed below. With this system in place, we can communicate simultaneously using video and audio, screen share, display or share documents or simply conduct a company presentation.

Customers can also benefit from the system and its features. Upon receipt of an email invitation, they will be able to join a conference to discuss new or current projects and any aspects of quality and production from the comfort of their desks. We can see this benefiting our international clients by reducing unnecessary travel time and expenses that would include multiple flights and several days of accommodation for a visit to the UK.

The system can also be accessed via tablet or laptop by our representatives or management team when they are on the road, at home or on holiday abroad, meaning an impromptu meeting can be conducted as and when required.

We have already seen many positive benefits from using video conferencing and these include a substantial reduction in travel requirements between our sites, meeting our aim to reduce the carbon footprint caused by unnecessary travel. It has also increased overall efficiency and productivity with our internal production, quality, and sales team.

Our 3 sites are as follows:

1. Head Office & Warehousing – Doulton Road, Cradley Heath, B64 5QJ
2. Manufacturing Site – Balds Lane, Stourbridge, DY9 8SE (3.7 miles from Head Office)
3. W.H.Tildesley Ltd (sister company) – Clifford Works, Willenhall, WV13 2AN (10.1 miles from Head Office)
