Show MeNo thanks, closeSee ourPrivacy NoticeA Coventry firm that works with leading Formula 1 teams has celebrated 60 years in the city and says they are 'very proud.' Whiteley Brooks Engineering was founded in 1965.
Whiteley Brooks in Binley has been serving the motorsport industry with a range of precision parts since 1965. It provides parts for almost every Formula 1 team and the World Endurance
Championship.
Director Jat Purewal said the company has recently invested £550,000 in new state-of-the-art technology and machinery, with many major clients said to be 'really interested.'
Apprentices have also been hired in recent years and are trained by more experienced staff members, such as Gear Purewal and Eirinn Turner.

Gear and Eirinn have been with the city-based company for 90 years combined. Jat welcomed Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce President Steve Harcourt and Head of Operations Keely
Hancox to the engineering facility in May.
Jat said: “We are very proud to reach 60 years in business. I have been here since 2002 so it is important to recognise everyone who has made the company what it is today, including the
founders Ken Whiteley and Stan Brooks.
“We are now up to a team of 40, and that includes the likes of Gear and Eirinn, who have been with us over many years, and then more recent additions, including several apprentices. It is a
real team effort, and that is a big factor in our success.”
He added: “We are unable to talk about individual clients and the parts we make because of the nature of the sport, but we are incredibly proud to be delivering for some of the best-known
teams on the planet, which is a real success story for Coventry.”
C&W Chamber of Commerce President Steve Harcourt said: “Whiteley Brooks is a fascinating Coventry company that is doing amazing work in one of the most popular sports on the planet and they
are a great example of how, even in uncertain times, it is possible to invest in people, technology and machinery to put your business on the strongest footing for growth.”
