For manufacturers

Requests to quote, from companies that have just won work or are growing.

We find the companies that buy what you make and have a dated reason to need more, write in your name to the person who buys or specifies it, and pass you the ones who ask for a price, a trial or to set you up as a supplier.

Three ways to work, from a list you work yourself to outreach we run for you.

For engineering firms, fabricators, moulders, packaging and print firms, and other UK manufacturers that make for other companies.

When a company needs more made

A company that has just won work, or is growing, needs more parts, materials and capacity, often by a set date. We find it while it is news, and keep the date and the place we read it.

  • A contract won

    A company that has just won a contract has to deliver it, and often needs new suppliers to do it.

    Where we read itTheir news, and award notices on Contracts Finder and Find a Tender

  • Expanding

    A new line, a new product or a bigger order book means more parts and materials to buy.

    Where we read itTheir own news pages

  • A new site

    A new factory or unit has to be fitted out, and supplied from the first day.

    Where we read itPlanning and property records

  • Hiring for production

    Adverts for machine operators, engineers or a production manager are a sign of more work coming through.

    Where we read itJob boards

Who we write to

The person who buys it, or specifies it.

By name where it is published, on the company's own website or as a director at Companies House.

  • A named work email where one is published, otherwise the general email, phone number or web form, with where we found it.
  • In your name on Outreach and Performance, from web addresses like yours, approved by you before any are sent.
  • Never your current customers or anyone you have a live quote with, and never sole traders or partnerships.
  • Purchasing or procurement managerPlaces the orders and approves new suppliers.
  • Engineering or technical managerSpecifies the part, the material and the finish.
  • Production or operations managerFeels it first when supply runs short.
  • Managing directorSigns off new suppliers in a smaller company.

Three ways to work

From a list you work yourself, to outreach we run for you where most of the fee follows results. Each one, step by step, is on the Lead Generation page.

You work the list

Target List

from£995one-off

Companies that buy what you make and have a dated reason to need more, each with the person who buys or specifies it. You ring and email them.

See Target List

We do the writing

Done-for-you Outreach

£995a month+ £1,250 setup

We write to 800 to 1,100 new companies a month in your name, follow them up, and pass you the ones who ask for a price.

See Outreach

Our recommendation

Pay mostly for results

Performance Partnership

£450a month+ £245 per qualified enquiry + £1,250 setup

The same outreach with a smaller fee a month and a set fee for each qualified enquiry, so most of what you pay follows results.

See Performance

What we count

A qualified enquiry is an owner, a director or someone in purchasing, procurement or engineering at a company we reached first, asking you in writing for a price for a job or regular orders, a trial, a call at a set time, or to set you up as a supplier.

It is what your weekly report counts, and what the Performance Partnership bills at £245 each, six at most in a month. What counts, in full

“Could you quote for 200 enclosures a month to the drawing attached?”

Questions

Anything else, ask us in the form below. A person answers.

Our sales take months. Does this still work?

We count the first step, not the order. A buyer asking in writing for a price, a trial, a call at a set time, or to set you up as a supplier is a qualified enquiry, whether or not it becomes work. Winning the order is yours.

Can you look for buyers for one product line?

Yes. You set the brief: what you make, who buys it and how far you deliver. Every company on the list says which of your products fits it, and the emails are written for each line of work.

Will you write to big companies with procurement teams?

Yes. We write to limited companies, LLPs, plcs and public bodies, to an owner or director, or to the person in purchasing, procurement or engineering. Never to sole traders or partnerships.

Tell us what you make, and who buys it.

We'll tell you which way of working fits, what it costs, and how soon the first emails could go out.

  1. A person writes back by the next weekday morning, UK time.
  2. A short call about your work, your area and how much you can take on.
  3. If it fits, a secure payment link or an invoice, and we start.

Rather talk first? Ring 0113 490 0521, weekdays 9am to 5pm UK time. At any other time, book a call and we ring you back.

We use these details to reply, and for nothing else. Privacy.
