2025 Customer Survey: Your Feedback in Action

We know that getting precision manufacturing right isn’t just about making parts to spec – it’s about service, reliability, and making your life easier. That’s why we asked for your feedback in our latest customer survey. The responses gave us valuable insights into what we’re doing well and where we can improve. Some things reinforced what we already knew, and others gave us a fresh perspective on how we can better support you. Here’s what you had to say and what we’re doing about it.

What Stands Out About Shearline?

Across industries, customers value our expertise, quality, and service. One aerospace manufacturer summed it up best:

“Shearline always delivers high quality components, and their technical team is responsive and knowledgeable.”

  • Fast, reliable support – Whether it’s answering technical queries or keeping you updated on orders, we’re proud to be known for our responsiveness and proactive customer service.
  • Trusted for complex manufacturing – Our customers rely on us for highly complex, tolerance critical components across industries like medical, aerospace, and scientific instrumentation. Many highlighted our ability to meet challenging specifications and deliver consistently high quality parts.
  • Dependable delivery – We work hard to maintain on-time deliveries, even when challenges arise. As one electronics customer put it:

“We appreciate Shearline’s proactive updates – if there’s ever a delay, we know about it before it becomes a problem.”

Where We’re Stepping Up

Faster Quotes When You Need Them

We know that getting quotes quickly is crucial for keeping projects moving, but we also understand that accuracy matters just as much. That’s why we’re strengthening our technical quoting team by adding an experienced milling expert. This will help us turn quotes around faster while maintaining the high level of detail and precision you expect.

Priority Production When You Need It Most

We know that sometimes, getting parts faster can make all the difference. That’s why we are exploring the idea of an expedited manufacturing service – a higher priority option for when you need a quicker turnaround.

“It would be great if you could offer an expedited service for an additional fee – sometimes we really need parts sooner.” – Biotech Industry Customer

This would allow customers to request faster lead times at a premium rate, helping to keep critical projects on track without disrupting regular production schedules. We’re currently exploring how this could be implemented to ensure it delivers real value.

Investing in Innovation

Beyond process improvements, we’re always looking ahead to keep Shearline at the forefront of precision engineering in the UK. That means investing in the latest machining technology, refining production techniques, and ensuring we have the right skills in place for the future. Through our apprenticeship program, we’re actively training the next generation of engineers – helping to secure a strong future for both Shearline and the wider industry.
