Check out what our supplier's say...

The variety of enquiries that come through really suit our business needs. As a result, we’ve been able to form quite a few well-established relationships with buyers, who continue to provide us with ongoing work. The Qimtek team have provided us a lot of support over the years. Just one example, through our association with yourselves we turned over £3.5m with a customer last year that we found at Subcon 2017.  This year (2021) the forecast is for £6m. We would definitely recommend them to other companies!

As a new business we were looking at ways to find new clients to help us grow. The problem was that we didn't have the contacts to call but more importantly the time as we also needed to run our machine shop. After an initial demonstration of the Qimtek services we decided to give it try and I am pleased we did. We joined in August 21 and by October we have won 7 customers, some of which have already placed repeat and additional work with us. Qimtek is what it is, they find you leads, you log in to your account, download the drawings and speak to the buyers directly. I'd give them a 9 out of 10 for the qualification and information provided as it usually spot on, which helps us when quoting.

We are a small subcontract engineering shop in Leeds West Yorkshire specialising in Milling Turning and Fabrication work. We have been members of Qimtek for about 10 months now and already we have secured jobs from 27 different manufacturing companies bringing in nearly £30,000 of initial business. I would recommend Qimtek to anyone who was wishing to expand their business - Our work was mainly West Yorkshire based however the customers I have received from Qimtek are nationwide. We can only hope for ongoing success through Qimtek in the future.

We have been using Qimtek on and off for a number of years now. When we see a gap in our capacity or we are ready to grow the business again we tend to re-join. We really like the  prequalified machining leads which helps us to find new people to speak to and gives us that all important foot in the door. What's great is that after just two weeks of being members again we have already won one job valued at more than the cost of membership from what looks like a decent potential long-term customer.

Rotec Engineering is an advanced manufacturing business serving clients from many industrial sectors including Automotive, Medical, Defence and Electronics. Our state-of-the-art production facility boasts the very latest CNC fixed head turning, milling, and sliding head machines, which enables us to provide customers with a rapid turnaround at highly competitive rates.  We initially joined the Qimtek membership in order to increase our existing customer base. 14 years later and Rotec have secured in lots of initial orders via the membership, with many of these customers, going on to place additional orders directly.

We have been members of Qimtek for a little over 5 weeks now and received almost 80 jobs to look at. We are pleased to say that we have already won two orders from two different companies that could go on to become long-term customers if everything goes well. As a small business it's hard for us to afford a full time sales person but still needed to be proactive in looking for new business. Performing sales myself is too time consuming as I need to be on hand to quote and help in the machine shop. Qimtek offers us a cost effective alternative, sending us projects directly to my email inbox where I can simply click a button to download the drawings and buyer contact details, saving me lots of time. 

With no sales team in place, we made the decision to join Qimtek back in 2007 as it was a cost effective way of generating leads. Since then we have secured lots of initial orders and an estimated £5million worth of business directly. In the first two years, we picked up 2 new clients that, for the next six years, were the largest customers we had dealt with. The membership is very straight forward. You set your lead parameters; you receive relevant projects to quote on directly, then you convert them into sales. Qimtek has been a very good tool for RDL and I have spent the last few years recommending Qimtek to others – some of which are now members themselves.

We were very curious about Qimtek’s live lead service and decided to take the plunge and join the membership. We have successfully secured in excess of £170,000 worth of initial orders from around 50 new customers. Our favourite aspect of the membership is retaining control over the quoting process as it allows us to pick and choose the work we want to quote for and when, depending on our capacity constraints at that time.

As small business members, we are viewing only a quarter of the UK but we have been able to secure 38 different customers who placed over £75,000 worth of initial orders. Some of these customers have then gone on to place business with us directly and have become some of our largest long-term clients. The membership gives us access to areas of the UK where we previously had no coverage. If you are looking to fill capacity and gain new customers then join, there are no downsides to the service. However, when quoting on projects, be realistic, be competitive but above all else be bold and success will soon follow. Thanks to our new customers, who have gone on to become key accounts, we have been able to continue their growth and success at an impressive rate.

Qimtek’s membership provides us with a stream of enquiries, which ultimately allows us to pick and choose enquiries we can and want to quote on. We have been able to turn these initial orders into ongoing relationships. We have visited customers and customers have visited us. If you deliver their job correctly and on time, it’s onwards and upwards from there, and for that reason, I would recommend Qimtek to others.

We signed up to Qimtek one week ago, as we felt it would be beneficial in helping us to find new business. Within the first week, we had made contact with a client and manufactured some test bends. The client then came to visit us and we gave a tour of the factory. Within an hour, I had a purchase order for 50 aluminium frames, with scope for more orders in future. A great start to what I hope will be a long and successful relationship with Qimtek.

Having invested in some new machinery we were keen to find new leads for ongoing work. As a small company, the time and staffing element of finding new work was daunting and our success rate was low. Qimtek allows you access to the right people and gets your foot in the door, saving a lot of leg work! In our first 2 weeks of membership, we had a steady stream of quotations. The easy-to-use platform allowed us to register interest and quote on jobs that were relevant to us and had genuine buying intent! Within the first 2 weeks, we secured 2 purchase orders - both in industries that we had never explored before. The platform is simple and easy to use - after a short online demo, we found ourselves navigating it confidently and ultimately winning work!

Since joining the Qimtek membership in 2010, we have secured in excess of £275,000 worth of initial orders from over 40 different industry buyers – most of which has led to repeat business. We have moved into more profitable sectors and doubled our sales as a direct result of joining Qimtek.  Competition can be tough sometimes, more so as Qimtek has grown, but we have formed several good relationships with buyers and continue to do so. Whilst I couldn’t put a timescale on this process - as each buyer works differently - we did pick up our first order after just a few months.
