About PM and consultancyFrom inside the industry
Most agencies can read a CV. We can read a repair specification. Kold Composites was founded by composite professionals with hands on backgrounds in advanced composite manufacture. Every candidate we put forward is assessed against the practical work involved: the processes, the materials and the standards of the trade.
Assessed by composite people. Skills in layup, infusion, bonding and finishing are checked by staff who have done the work themselves.
Process, material, sector, experience. Candidates are matched to the actual work, not to keywords on a CV.
Individuals or complete teams. From one specialist to a full project crew, mobilised with logistics coordinated across the UK and Europe.
