Manufacturing Precision Components

Bright Spark Precision Engineering has been supplying key players in the Aerospace and Motorsport markets for over 20 years.

Based in East Lancashire, the company operates a production environment manufacturing precision components. Bright Spark originally began life producing jigs and fixtures for the Aerospace Industry.

Bright Spark Precision Engineering later moved into the Motorsport market, producing components for a motorbike rider who went on to become British Champion and later World Super-Bike rider. Since that time, Bright Spark Precision Engineering has prospered almost entirely on word-of-mouth recommendation from customers who recognise quality workmanship.
