Worsleys was established in 1984 as a consultancy service to the component industry. Continued expansion of the business resulted in registration as a limited company in 1990, by which time a fully equipped facilitys was providing independent test validation of components and materials.

The majority of work undertaken by Worsleys is based around the industry, though not exclusively. Although a high proportion of our testing is automotive-related we are keen to offer our technical expertise to other manufacturing industries. For example, recent contracts have included test validation of cash point dispenser components and fighter aircraft anti-radar coatings.
