Wrexham Mineral Cables are delighted to have joined Made in Britain! As the UK's only manufacturer of MICC cable, we are celebrating our British origins having been granted membership to the Made in Britain organisation.
New Member Story – Made in Britain
1. In a short sentence what do you manufacture and where do you do that (town or county is fine)
Wrexham Mineral Cables are the UKs only manufacturer of Fire Survival Mineral Insulated Copper Conduit Cables, based in Ruabon, Wrexham and have been since 1989.
2. How long has your business been going and if there is any interesting history please summarise this?
For over thirty years (1989), WMC have concentrated mainly on the UK, supplying over 100 million metres of fire survival cable to sectors such as railways, public buildings, schools, hospitals, sporting arenas, hospitality, and underground tunnels to name a few. Our project portfolio extends over 30-years, and our cables are installed in sectors such as Hazardous areas, high rise buildings, heritage, medical and railways including the London Underground.
3. What does it mean to you to join the Made in Britain organisation?
To trade in Britain, and to be the UK’s only manufacturer of MICC cable, is a feeling of proud heritage for WMC. Being able to supply and install our cables in the knowledge that they will provide extended safety to those areas and in a lot of cases preserve British history is a major motivation of ours. To now be able to show off our brand alongside the Made in Britain mark is very exciting and important to us, as well as our customers.
Steve Williams, Commercial Manager.
4. Where will you be using the official Made in Britain mark?
We will be proudly displaying the Made in Britain mark wherever we can - on our packaging, promotional material, website, social media, training packages and beyond.
5. Is there is anything else you consider important and would like to share?
Whilst we are British born and bred, we also export all over the world, in particular to middle eastern countries such as Kuwait, UAE, and Qatar. MICC cable is an important element for businesses and sectors that operate in extreme conditions, where heat can often be an issue – hence the need for use in areas with oil fields and petrochemical farms.
Our portfolio of projects spans many different areas, but a few we are extremely proud of within Britain include installations at Buckingham Palace, the London Underground, various National Trust properties, St Pancreas International, and Winsor Castle – to have our product trusted in historic and well known places such as these definitely ranks highly in our list of achievements.
