A former employee of John Payne Engineering (and later GBE Tobacco Making & Packing due to the purchase of JPE by GBE Legg) the director has worked within the tobacco industry for more than twenty five years. A Fully Qualified City & Guilds Engineering Technician having worked throughout China and the Middle East installing and commissioning cigarette making and packing machinery.

Completing a Post-Graduate Diploma in Management Studies at PortsmouthUniversity in 1998, positions held at GBE Tobacco included Works Manager and Purchasing Manager, providing the director with a wealth of experience in the procurement of parts and services.

With the closure of GBE Tobacco (Formerly GBE Legg) in 1998 the director formed Whitson Engineering Services Limited to provide a service to former GBE Tobacco (Making & Packing) customers within the Secondary machinery market (Making & Packing Machinery).

Quickly realising customers need more than just spares  for one particular manufacturer, WES decided to supply spares for all different types of machinery to greater assist in meeting customer demands.

With its years of experience the company started to offer the ability to supply all different types of machinery and spares used within the production of cigarettes. Providing spares for not only the main production machinery but also the ancillary equipment such as compressors, generators, vacuum pumps, air conditioning and much more.

As a result of this service we now supply machinery and spares to many other industries throughout countries across the globe.
