At GBE we have very specific and important core values. These values are at the heart of what we do and always play an important part in our decision making on a daily basis. Our first core value is ‘Innovation’ this represents our use of our extensive industry knowledge and experience that we have developed over the years. We then have ‘Dedication’ this represents our positive and dedicated attitude towards overcoming any challenge in a efficient and timely fashion. This is demonstrated in a number of our case studies on our website, highlighting when we have had specific specification to meet and the GBE team have used there initiative and talents to not only meet the specification but to give a resolution beyond expectation. Thirdly, we have ‘Collaboration’ this core value highlights the importance of our work and how we work closely with the client to achieve a fantastic product in line with the clients vision. Linking to core value one, innovation, we also have ‘Diverse’. This core value represents our extensive range of industry knowledge, skills, and experience within a wide range of sectors. To name a few, in-vehicle telematics, healthcare, medical, life science, power & industrial electronics. Our final core value, which we keep in our focus within every piece of work we produce is ‘Quality’. This value speaks for itself, with the use our other four values, innovation, dedication, collaboration and our knowledge diversity, we ensure that in all of our work there is a high quality standard.

Two members of our talented sales team, Matt & Charlie, have arrived at Electronica 2022 in München. We are super excited to be back at the world's leading trade fair and conference for electronics, after a long 4 years. We have many meetings booked with both customers and suppliers and look forward to seeing familiar and new faces this year. Ready for Business!

Thank you Scale-Up Awards for hosting a fantastic evening. Congratulations to all the winners as well as everyone nominated. It was joyful evening full of seeing some familiar faces as well as networking with fellow companies who share our values. Definitely a night to remember.

We wanted to share with you all this customer perspective kindly written by the team at Van Walt. It’s brilliant to reflect on the journey we have had together and celebrating the success created. Select the link below to read Van Walt's customer perspective.

GBE takes pride in wanting to drive and inspire a future generation of engineers. That’s why last year we teamed up with Worthing College to ensure students have access to a wealth of future opportunities. From this, GBE sponsored Worthing College’s electronics lab by providing essential equipment, such as, wire cutters, cabling & PIC microcontroller chips. As well as offering an inside route to students for summer internships, work experience and apprenticeship opportunities. We are now currently working with a small group of enthusiastic STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) students to design a score board for their rugby pitch. The GBE group is happily supporting Worthing College by funding and supplying expertise to help lead the students through the design. There will be a cross collaboration through all the GBE group; GBE will help guide the electronics and mechanical design, GBP helping with the input power supply, GBL helping with the software and firmware to control the scoreboard and Wildtrax who will be producing and manufacturing the final design. The key reason behind this collaboration is to expose students to industry standard practices as well as working alongside electronic and mechanical engineers. We are proud to be teamed up with our local college, Worthing College, and look forward to seeing what these enthusiastic students create.

Where do you think GBE started? Believe it or not, GBE was formed in March 1988 in a spare room in Storrington. Over the years GBE has evolved into an award-winning company with 50+ highly skilled, innovated and dedicated employees. Let’s talk about the journey of getting to where we are now. The founder, Geoff Bullen, used his exceptional component knowledge to source hard-to-find electronic components. After building up his client base, this developed into small-scale PCB and product assembly. The initial focus being dispatch systems for the taxi industry and specialised power supplies for scientific instrumentation. After years of producing products, we decided to take it a step further: opening the door into design; creating a seamless design to product manufacturing service for our growing number of customers. We innovated a clever device specifically within the use of taxi’s, bringing the taxi metre, communication, GPS system and panic button into one. Since then, we have built extensive knowledge in a variety of sectors starting within in-vehicle telematics and branching out into healthcare, medical, life science, power and industrial electronics. Our sales department has grown rapidly and now has current availability and stock list of over 75,000-line items. As well as our brilliant design team offering a complete design process, from initial idea to manufacture. With the addition of a Software as a Service (SaaS) company in 2020. Mark and Tom, sons of the founder Geoff, and Kim and Matthew (very good family friends) now between them run the impressive design-led electronic product manufacturing company we all call GBE. GBE has always been a family run business, creating a personal element to the service we provide as well as creating a positive and valued environment where our staff perform at their best.
