The Brandauer Experience
We pride ourselves in ensuring a workplace that is modern and continually invested in, whilst serving as a community where everyone’s contributions are valued, and growth is actively encouraged.
We have been incredibly appreciative of many employees who have dedicated a huge chunk, if not all their career, to Brandauer.

There have been numerous occasions where people have served for over 50 years, with our longest serving member of staff serving an incredible 71 years with the company!

From apprentice to management!
Ollie Eskriett and Adam Burgoyne joined the Brandauer team as apprentices. They have both worked their way up and are now vital parts of the Brandauer management team, with Ollie running both of Brandauer’s toolrooms as Tool Room Manager, and Adam progressing his way up to Quality, NPI and HSE Manager.
They both spoke to Brandauer a bit more in depth during National Apprenticeship Week 2025 about their careers and why they chose the pathway they did!
A Culture of Excellence
Brandauer’s culture is built on growth, innovation and a team all working towards the same goal. With the Management Buyout taking place in September 2025, there has been a new wave of culture within the team. A brand new 10-year growth plan for the business has given everyone at Brandauer the drive and camaraderie of all working towards the same goal and doing it as one.
