Strategy

Vision
To be recognised as a leading provider of metallurgical and testing services and the partner of choice for outsourcing needs, aspiring to deliver enhanced value to all stakeholders.

Mission
To provide world class companies with metallurgical and testing services that make a positive contribution to the success of their business.

To earn sustainable profits which attract shareholder interest.

To engage, develop and retain competent people, harness their enthusiasm and inspire them to excel.

To act as a good corporate citizen.

Values
We are honest and trustworthy in our dealings with our shareholders, customers, colleagues, and communities.

We value and protect the safety and health of our colleagues and work to minimise the environmental impact of our activities.

Continuous improvement in all areas of the business drives us forward.

Strategy
Bodycote will invest in materials technologies complementary to its existing Strategic Business Units and customer base. These technologies should be high added value and/or with high barriers to entry and capable of being rolled out across the network on a long-term basis to offer a sustainable competitive advantage enabling a consistent achievement of Bodycote’s financial objectives.

People are the foundation of Bodycote's success and we shall invest in their continuing development through sustained and focused training, emphasising the importance of personal integrity in all our dealings.

Bodycote will project itself as the subcontractor of choice to the manufacturing industry.

The conversion of in-house to contracting out (Outsourcing) is seen as our main source of organic growth.

Bodycote will invest in new geographical markets by acquisition or by forming strategic partnerships (SP) with key customers or others, where risk is mitigated by a suitable guaranteed base load and where technical competence, quality and service are key. The main focus will be to fill in gaps in our existing footprint and in contiguous geographies. Bodycote will exit processes and/or markets which are not sustainable on a long-term basis.
