Noise at work assessments across the Midlands

Birmingham and the Black Country's foundries and press shops, the automotive supply chain around Coventry, the Potteries around Stoke-on-Trent, and the warehousing corridor at the heart of the country's road network.

The industries that actually drive noise risk here

Automotive & metal fabricationPressing, welding and metal-forming across Birmingham, Coventry and the Black Country's long foundry tradition — some of the highest sustained noise levels we measure anywhere.
Ceramics & manufacturingKilns, grinding and finishing lines around Stoke-on-Trent's Potteries, where the noise risk is easy to overlook next to the dust.
Warehousing & logisticsThe ‘golden triangle’ distribution hubs around the M1/M6/M42, where conveyor and mechanical handling noise builds up over long shifts.
Food productionBakeries and food manufacturing across Leicester and Nottingham, with packing and processing lines running close to continuously.

What a real assessment tends to find

Press shops and foundries are where the highest readings tend to turn up — not always where people expect them. See a real example →

How we cover the region

Birmingham, Coventry, Nottingham, Leicester and Stoke-on-Trent are all sites we visit regularly, and the Midlands' motorway network makes most of the region a straightforward day trip from our Bournemouth base. We also assess sites across the rest of the UK.

Common questions

Are you actually able to reach the Midlands, or is this just a landing page?

Yes — we're based in Bournemouth and travel across the Midlands regularly, helped by how central the region is on the UK's motorway network.

Our press shop is loud everywhere — is a single assessment enough?

Usually not on its own. We map noise levels zone by zone across the site, so the assessment reflects the real variation between, say, the press line and the goods-in area, not one average figure.

Do you work with automotive-tier suppliers who need to show compliance to an OEM auditor?

Yes — the report format is built to stand up to exactly that kind of scrutiny, not just to satisfy the regs on paper.
