What we offer
We offer a full concept-market service for all your engineering requirements.
Design & Engineering
At Berkeley Coachworks, every build begins with strong design. Our team works closely with clients to transform early concepts into production-ready solutions, blending creativity with precision engineering.
We specialise in bespoke engineering design and design for manufacture (DfM), ensuring efficiency and cost-effectiveness before the first prototype is built. With CAD/CAE and simulation capability, we deliver automotive prototyping, composite design, and structural analysis trusted across sectors in the UK.
From concept through to pilot production runs, our work is grounded in the reality of scalable production.
Prototyping
Prototyping is where ideas meet reality. Berkeley Coachworks provides prototyping services in Wales and across the UK, taking you from one-off demonstrators to full validation builds and test rigs.
Our team delivers composite prototypes, metal fabrication prototypes, and automotive components, all created with production scalability in mind.
Every build is more than a proof of concept: it’s a clear path toward low-volume manufacturing and series production.
We work with clients across sectors – from automotive to logistics – helping them bring new ideas to life quickly and reliably.
Manufacturing
Manufacturing is at the heart of Berkeley Coachworks. Based in Pembrokeshire, Wales, we’ve built a reputation for low-volume manufacturing and now provide flexible, scalable production tailored to client demand.
Whether you need composite manufacturing in the UK, lightweight trailer components, or specialist assemblies, our Pembrokeshire facility is equipped for pilot runs through to mid-series manufacturing.
We offer:
- Composite production – carbon fibre, flax, and hybrid lightweight materials.
- Low-volume to mid-series manufacturing flexible batch sizes.
- Bespoke assemblies – prototypes, automotive builds, and trailer systems.
Our promise: precision manufacturing from prototype to production.
