Since starting to make railway leaf springs in the 1840’s, Tinsley Bridge has been at the heart of Sheffield’s innovative manufacturing scene, a city renowned for its steel heritage, engineering excellence and technically skilled workforce.

Less than two years ago the UK government set out a vision for a Northern Powerhouse. It is an ambition to bring together the great cities of the North of England to become a powerhouse for our economy, with modern transport links and increased investment. This approach to rebalancing the UK economy is based on the economic theory that while the individual cities of the north are strong, if they pool their strengths they could be stronger than the sum of their parts.
