Professional Codes of Conduct & External Issues

Introduction

WCM is one of Britain's leading component manufacturers with more than 1500 staff, and has won many contracts to supply components and assemblies to foreign governments, and has healthy relationships with commissioning agents in several countries. It has over 500 branches and storage centres in the world. Wirral Component Manufacturers set up a family business in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, in the 1950s. It started as a radio and television repair business and over time and with the growth of the television market expanded to other parts of the country. Throughout the 70s and 80s the company also submitted successful bids for government contracts for the supply of radar equipment and weapons guidance systems (Rogers, 2006). Management have recently been reviewing their delivery operation, seeking ways to improve its efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Outsourcing is an option under consideration.
