Beagle Technology Group has acquired Bristol-based Progressive Design & Engineering Ltd. which will now be known as 'Beagle Design Services'.

This acquisition means that Beagle is now able to offer the complete range of design, development, make and print services in metallic and composite materials.

Thirty-five skilled design engineers, formerly employed by Progressive, will transfer into the Beagle Group. Beagle Design Services joins Beagle’s other existing divisions: MRO, Aerospace, Defence, Composites, Treatments and Precision.

“Such growth in a difficult economic climate is a testament to Beagle’s ability to innovate, adapt and win business in new markets.
