What PEC Group does

PEC Group is a privately held Bristol-based multi-division engineering and fabrication company operating since the late 1960s. The company is structured around five divisions: PEC Construction (architectural and structural steelwork with CE Marking Execution Class 2 under BS EN 1090), PEC Acoustics (noise control enclosures for generators, UPS, and refrigeration plant), SafeconX (modular access and safety systems co-developed with TechniGear), CTI Wetcast (automated concrete machinery for decorative and landscape stone production), and Dudbridge Specialist Engineering (bespoke industrial fabrication including biomass filtration and coachbuilding).

The core technology base is a fully equipped fabrication facility with overhead cranes, gantry cranes, dedicated paint shop, machining facilities, sealed electrostatic painting for 40-foot shipping containers, and 3D CAD design capabilities. PEC holds ISO 9001 quality certification, ISO 3834 welding quality management, BS EN 1090 Execution Class 2 CE Marking via the British Board of Agreement (UKAS), and operates a Responsible Welding Co-ordinator with International Welding Engineer qualifications. Site teams hold CSCS, PASMA, IPAF, SMAS, and Constructionline accreditations.

The business operates on project-based custom pricing with no disclosed tier structure, generating revenue through one-time fabrication contracts (structural/architectural steelwork, acoustic enclosures), hardware sales (concrete machinery, modular safety systems), and professional services (installation and ongoing maintenance). PEC serves a bifurcated customer base spanning multinational enterprises (Intel, Rolls-Royce, ESSO, United Nations, China Telecom, Odeon Cinemas, Twickenham and Emirates Stadiums) and local tradesmen, builders, and individuals. Go-to-market is exclusively direct enterprise field sales via UK estimators and dedicated project managers, with project delivery extending across the UK, Europe, USA, China, Scandinavia, Middle East, and South America.
