who are we
Cranfield Group represents the coming together of two successful family businesses – Cranfield Solutions and Webb Injection Moulders. Both companies were started and grown by husband and wife teams who built their reputations on technical excellence, customer service, and treating people right. Now, under new leadership by an experienced management team, we’re writing the next chapter while honouring the values that made both companies successful.
Our vision is refreshingly simple: create a people-first group that’s led by the staff, for the staff. We believe that when our people thrive, our customers benefit. This philosophy drives everything we do, from how we approach manufacturing challenges to how we develop our teams. By putting customers at the top of our agenda and empowering our people to deliver solutions, we’re building something special in UK manufacturing.
Our Heritage
Two Companies, Shared Values
- Cranfield Solutions: Established in 2003 by engineers with deep roots in the plastics industry, Cranfield Solutions built its reputation on technical precision and engineering excellence. The company specialised in complex, high-performance applications where getting it right first time wasn’t just important – it was essential. This meticulous approach to manufacturing attracted customers who needed more than just a moulder; they needed a technical partner.
- Webb Injection Moulders: A family business with family values, Webb Injection Moulders developed a reputation for flexibility and customer service that set them apart. Their ability to adapt to customer needs – whether handling urgent orders, managing complex logistics, or solving production challenges – made them the go-to partner for businesses across multiple sectors. This ‘no problem’ attitude became their hallmark.
