A smarter way for UK buyers to find engineering partners.
Industrial Connected is a project-led marketplace built specifically for UK engineering and manufacturing. We replace cold sourcing, ad-hoc directories and trade-show hunting with a single controlled workflow.
Helping the right work find the right workshop.
UK manufacturing has world-class capability spread across thousands of specialist suppliers - but finding the right one for a specific project is still slow, opaque and reliant on personal networks.
We built Industrial Connected so buyers can describe a project once and see the suppliers genuinely fit to deliver it - with verification, Trust Scores and project history that make quality comparable at a glance.
Suppliers get a clean, project-led channel to win the right kind of work, without cold outreach, paid leads or bidding wars on irrelevant projects.
Why we built Industrial Connected.
We spent years working with manufacturers, engineering companies and suppliers. One problem kept appearing: finding the right engineering partner was harder than it should be.
Buyers wasted weeks chasing referrals, trawling directories and cold-calling workshops. Suppliers wasted time on leads that were never a fit. Good projects and good capability kept missing each other.
Industrial Connected was created to solve that problem - with a platform that matches projects to verified capability, protects buyer anonymity and makes quality visible from the first interaction.
Four principles that shape the platform.
Every feature, policy and design decision on Industrial Connected traces back to one of these four ideas - built to protect quality on both sides of the market.
Buyers post projects. The right suppliers come to them - no cold calls, no scrolling lists.
Buyers stay anonymous until they choose. Introductions happen on their terms, not the supplier's.
Verified suppliers are checked against company details, Companies House records and submitted credentials where applicable. Project history is added as work is delivered.
Trust Scores are built from verification, reviews, project history, response rate and certifications.
Built for the breadth of UK manufacturing.
From fabrication and machining to electronics, plastics, metrology and more.
Suppliers and projects from Scotland to the South West, connected in one platform.
Verified supplier profiles are built from submitted evidence and platform checks rather than self-reported marketing claims alone.
From project to delivery, feedback and pipeline, all inside Industrial Connected.
