JTS transfers to Employee Ownership

Welsh engineering company transfers to Employee Ownership


JTS Ltd is the only environmental chamber manufacturer in Wales, and one of very few remaining in the UK. With owners Glen and Sue James looking to step back, solutions were sought to enable the business to continue and evolve.


The proposal to transfer the Company to an Employee Ownership Trust was met with unanimous approval. With the support of Employee Ownership Wales, the move will enable the continued employment of a skilled and committed team.


New Managing Director, David Hunter, is looking forward to implementing plans for further developing the business, including offering apprenticeships, for the benefit of all employees.


He said “This is a fantastic opportunity for the skilled and loyal staff to have an investment in their future, the future of the business and build on the outstanding success of the first 28 years at JTS. I look forward to working with the team here who have all fully embraced the EOT process and all of us taking the business to the next stage of development. The support at Cwmpas has been invaluable to everyone involved in this process and they have helped and guided us all through to the final completion. I would recommend all companies to look at this option as there are no negatives and only positives for all concerned.”

Talgarth Town Football Club

JTS were asked by local councillor William Powell to help out refreshing a storage container used by Talgarth Town FC juniors and ladies. After some initial discussions and a quick cad mock up to agree the paint scheme the JTS team began to work on the project. This happened with the help of the Black Mountains College (Power) and Talgarth Building Supplies (Paint) and the JTS workforce. As you can see the container has had a new lease of life and we hope the guys using the container like the paint work! ‘Good news TTFC under 10’s celebrated a home victory with the team having a photo and the container used as a back drop!’ 

Electric Vehicle Charging at JTS

July 22, 2024
James Technical Services Limited having been involved in electric car, battery development and testing over the past 7 years have now installed two 11kW charging points at the factory in Talgarth mid Wales. These points can be used by customers and employees 😊 JTS have always been following the progress of the battery development and have purchased their first electric vehicle which will be used by the employees to carry out sales / site visits.  The container test chamber below is used by various car manufacturers for electric vehicle battery testing. This is just one example of a battery testing facility JTS can supply.
