The Year Turnkey was Founded

The business has grown significantly since it started life back in 1990 with just one employee. Turnkey’s first product was the Simret 3000 heavy vehicle brake tester. Since its launch, we have steadily expanded our product range, developing new specialist testing instruments in response to market needs.

Scientific and Industrial Instruments

We now employ more than 30 staff at our base in the UK and have representatives all around the globe distributing our testing equipment. Although we’ve grown and have a global presence, our culture and ethos has remained the same.

Our focus at Turnkey is on developing accurate and user-friendly scientific and industrial instruments. We invest in research and product development and our in-house product designers and engineers are consistently at the forefront of developments.

Working at Turnkey

We care about our employees and in turn they care about the business and our customers. As we’ve grown, we’ve retained the family-friendly culture that might be associated with a much smaller business and we carry this through everything we do.

Turnkey is a bit like one big family. A member of the team recently described it as “like going from one home to another”.

The environment is a productive one: clean, functional and well equipped. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and every member of the team really does count.
