From the ocean floor to the Underground.

A century of projects, from the cables in the Queen Mary to the grid, data centres and deep water oil fields of today.

Our work

No two projects are the same

Our cables are at work 2,000m below the Atlantic, in the tunnels of London Underground, inside some of the world's largest data centres and across national power grids.

Some projects call for cable built to the most demanding standards in the world. Others start with a cable that has failed and a customer who needs a better one, fast. Whatever the brief, every cable is designed, manufactured and tested at our factory in Leigh, drawing on more than 120 years of local cable-making knowledge.
