What we can do
We undertake practical, hands-on work for businesses, from regular production tasks to one-off projects and seasonal demand.
Products, components, kits and sets.
Products, packaging, boxes and batch information.
Joining, inserting or fitting straightforward components.
Counting quantities and organising parts or products.
Bringing several items together in the correct order or quantity.
Folding, inserting, bagging, labelling and preparing items for dispatch.
Reliable work, flexible logistics
Every job is completed to your agreed specification, with our staff overseeing quality, accuracy and the support needed for trainees to take part successfully.
Work can be delivered and collected using your own transport, a logistics provider or courier, including national delivery services.
For local customers, collection and delivery can also be arranged using SCB’s electric van.
What makes a good SCB job?
The best jobs for SCB are practical tasks with a clear process that can be taught, repeated and checked.
A job does not need to be simple from start to finish. What matters is whether it can be divided into manageable stages.
We can often adapt a larger process
A larger job can often be split into smaller tasks, allowing different trainees to contribute according to their skills and level of independence.
One person might count components, another assemble them, while someone else labels or packs the finished item.
Our staff coordinate the full process and oversee quality against the agreed specification.

Working with SCB is not about creating a separate charity project. It can simply mean choosing us to complete work your business already needs doing.
