We’re delighted to share that Advanced Composites Engineering (ACE) has been recognised in the 2025 Ward Hadaway North East Fastest 50 – an annual celebration of the region’s fastest-growing, independently owned companies. This recognition reflects our team’s sustained innovation, dedication, and the trust our customers place in us.
Launched in 1998 by law firm Ward Hadaway, the Fastest 50 identifies and ranks the fifty privately owned, profitable businesses in each northern region that have achieved the highest average annual turnover growth, and then crowns category and overall winners at an awards ceremony in Newcastle.
ACE is proud to be ranked 3rd in the smaller business category and 7th on the 2025 North East Fastest 50 list overall! The listing also recognises our Cramlington base and our core expertise producing high-performance carbon and composite tubing for aerospace, defence and automotive applications.
This year’s cohort underlines the strength and diversity of the region’s economy, collectively delivering robust growth despite a challenging backdrop, making our inclusion all the more meaningful.
Over the past few years we’ve invested in people, processes and capability to deliver bespoke composite tubing that solves complex engineering challenges; whether that’s ultra-thin, high-stiffness roll-wrapped carbon for precision instruments, or heavy-duty sections for demanding defence and motorsport environments. Our team brings decades of combined composites experience, and our customers benefit from practical, application-led engineering support from concept to production.
Growth like this doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It’s the product of the craftsmanship and commitment of our ACE team, the loyalty of our customers, and the collaboration of our suppliers and partners. Being recognised alongside so many inspiring North East companies is a proud moment for all of us.
