About Bostec Spray Booths and Box Ovens

Our Managing Director Stephen is a time-served maintenance engineer, with experience spanning over twenty years, specialising in box oven and spray booth manufacturing. Qualified to ONC Electrical Engineering, C&G Electrical Installations and C&G Electronic Servicing, he previously held roles with one of the industry leaders in product finishing. In his spare time Stephen loves motor racing and motorcycles, and does enjoy snooker, although he isn’t as good as he thinks he is.

Jacob is an early adopter, in that generation brought up using gadgets, and thriving on technology. Our expert in Solidworks 3D CAD modelling and technical drawing, he was the only BTEC candidate in his cohort to complete Level 3 Mechanical Engineering and pass with Triple Distinctions in every category. Qualified to BTEC Level 3 Mechanical Engineering, in his spare time he loves motorcycling and heading to the gym. He almost enjoys training as much as he does his food.

Involved in the box oven and spray booth industry since leaving university, Jonathan is our expert welder, fabricator and fitter, qualified with a Mechanical Engineering Degree from Liverpool John Moore University. Taking a hands-on, skilled role with attention to detail, Jonathan controls our manufacturing operations to ensure quality and high standards at all times. Outside of work he enjoys motor racing, especially F1, and is training hard to look like Dwayne Johnson.

Gary joined the team with a strong background in mechanical work, having trained in the Army with the Royal Fusiliers. Calm under pressure and focused in fast-paced environments, he brings a steady hand to everything from workshop builds to on-site installations. His discipline and adaptability make him a key asset on jobs of all sizes. Reliable, hard-working and quick to get stuck in, Gary’s practical mindset and methodical approach have already made a big impression across the team and with our clients.

Jordan, our OG apprentice, has now completed his training in mechanical and electrical engineering and stepped into a full-time role as Junior Engineer. Reliable, responsible and never afraid of hard work, he continues to develop his skills across planning, manufacturing, installation and commissioning. Jordan plays an active part in day to day operations and always brings energy to the workshop. Known for winding up Jacob at every opportunity, his confidence is growing by the day, and his technical ability is quickly catching up.

Part of the Gen Z intake and the latest apprentice to join the team, Lewis represents the next generation of engineering at Bostec. Full of energy and eager to learn, he is already getting involved across all areas of the business, from workshop tasks to on-site support. Each challenge is an opportunity, and Lewis continues to take them in his stride. Often referred to as version 2.0 by the team, he brings a fresh perspective and growing confidence. A work in progress with a bright future, he's one to watch.

Kelly is the heart of the Bostec office and often the first point of contact for customers, suppliers and staff alike. From bookkeeping and ordering to organising the team and keeping things on track, her role is wide ranging and essential. She brings warmth, humour and structure to the workplace, supporting every part of the business behind the scenes. Often referred to as the team’s office mum, she’s also known for keeping Stephen in check when his ideas start to gather pace. Calm, capable and always smiling, Kelly holds it all together.
