The CanDo Team

Gateway have made another significant investment within their UK based Machine Shop, by adding a new machine. The Haas Super Mini Mill 2 is a 3-axis CNC Milling machine that has allowed The Machine Shop to expand their capacity and capabilities, cutting their lead times in half on custom geometry cores!

Gateway Electronic Components have been awarded a Silver Senten Manten award from TDK this Autumn in recognition of the company’s unique and differentiated position in the ferrite and power sectors and the contribution made to supply competence and efficiency in the TDK distributor channel.

To support a dynamic and friendly Electronics Distribution sales office and working closely with the product marketing team this is a new role in the business requiring skills in negotiation, planning and good attention to detail.

The role of the Machining Apprentice is to work to support the day-to-day running of the machine shop.

Gateway Electronic Components seeks a motivated and talented CNC programmer to join the CanDo team. The Gateway Machine Shop specializes in machining ferrite material, this material is difficult to machine and presents many challenges. The machine shop is the only dedicated machine shop within the UK with the ability to machine custom geometries from blocks of ferrite material, it has positioned itself as a market leader and supports some of the largest companies in the world on new and emerging technologies.

To assist the sales and customer services function in a dynamic and friendly sales office, working as part of the team the customer services apprentice will need good communication and organization skills to ensure that the Gateway “Cando” spirit is maintained and that our business continues to exceed customer’s expectations.

For many years at Gateway we have offered value added services to our customers based on their drawings and requirements, but recently, as the skills and size of our technical team have grown we been able to get involved in assisting customers with redesigns or finding bespoke solutions to real world problems.

The UK left the EU on 31st January 2020, and on 1st February 2020 it entered the transition period that will end on 31st December 2020. From 1st January 2021 there will be new rules that govern life outside of the EU that will apply to, amongst other things, citizenship, travel and business activity.

The internet was starting to show its world changing potential. Money didn't appear as just coins, notes and, cheques.

In 2017 Gateway opened the doors to apprentices. Marketing, IT and Engineering staff welcomed young professionals into their teams to learn and grow in the workplace.
