The toolmaking skills and offerings of Bourne Technical Mouldings will be strengthened by the transfer of some of the staff and technology from Bourne Tools and Co, whose operations will cease in the autumn.
The group is actively assisting those staff who will not be transferred to find new employment in the area.
Founder, Mike Bourne, will be retiring while maintaining a consultancy role in the business, handing over the reins to his two sons, Mark and Ian.
Mark Bourne will remain as MD of Bourne Technical Mouldings and Ian will broaden his role to become Commercial Director.
Ian Bourne explains the reasons behind the move: "The market is changing and we need to change with it if we are to maintain and grow a successful business.
So, although we regret what is certainly the passing of an era, we are looking forward to meeting new challenges and finding new opportunities.
Naturally, we are determined to maintain the twin Bourne traditions of technical excellence and our commitment to always putting the customer first".
