Berwick
In February 2023, we acquired SWP Engineering in Berwick-Upon-Tweed, giving us a base over the border to better serve our customers. SWP was a family run business, just like Thorburns, which is why it was the perfect fit to add the company to Thorburn Group. With the company, comes a team experienced in precision engineering, who thrive on delivering practical solutions to a variety of engineering problems.

We are confident that we can bring our wealth of knowledge to any project commissioned.
The workshop can fabricate parts, pipelines, platforms, gangways and specialised mechanical handling equipment, in a selection of different specialised metals or plastics, including steel or aluminium.
With ongoing repair and maintenance packages designed to enhance the efficiency of the machines , these popular packages are designed to be a cost effective method of enhancing production and limiting future machine failures whilst extending machine life due to regular maintenance.
