With more than 100 years of acquired knowledge and experience in bolt manufacturing, many of the world’s leading manufacturers in offshore and onshore wind trust Cooper & Turner with their fastener requirements.
Cooper & Turner sought to strengthen their position and prepare for significant growth within the offshore wind sector. With ambitious plans to scale operational output from their Sheffield facility and seize emerging opportunities, the company submitted an expression of interest to participate in the OWGP Sprints programme.
During participation in this programme, Cooper & Turner secured a Development Grant through OWGP to increase capacity and explore new technologies to optimise their production lines and streamline their process.

Before
Prior to engaging with OWGP, Cooper & Turner had established itself as a trusted supplier in the offshore wind sector, providing high-quality fasteners to leading OEMs and gearing up for significant growth. As leadership focus shifted from the Sheffield facility to group level, day-to-day management was handed to a new generation of leaders. Cooper & Turner sought business transformation support through the OWGP Sprints programme, to adopt a more process- and data-driven approach, define a long-term vision for the facility, develop the leadership skills needed to support expansion, strengthen management capability and enable efficient, cost-effective innovation.
