Synthotech Group, a Harrogate-based engineering firm, achieved a record turnover of £6.5 million in 2025, marking a 33% increase driven by UK utilities' investment in technology for infrastructure maintenance. The company expects revenues to surpass £7 million in 2026 and plans to hire 12 additional staff.
Significant projects include the MicroBORE trenchless drilling system for fibre broadband deployment with BT Group and Openreach, and a gas pumping system that minimizes methane emissions. Synthotech is also expanding into international markets, with a 28% increase in overseas income, primarily from Australia and the US, as demand for its technologies grows.
