Westcombe Engineering has been featured by Peterborough City Council as an example of good practice both in "changes to working practices to ensure staff were protected" and in developing the business despite the Covid-19 restrictions.

The council reports that "Westcombe Engineering is experiencing its busiest period since the business started operating in 1970, securing new orders for existing customers".

The report adds that another new machining centre has been "delivered to support a significant order, which involves supplying high precision machined parts which fit into a battery module" allowing the classic US school bus to be converted to electric traction.
