Ideas

I am a precision engineer (no piss taking!) and our company repairs and makes plastic mould tools and die cast tools. Due to cheap labour and cheaper taxes nearly all our work has gone abroad,China,Romania etc

This is a last throw of the dice really for our company (7 of us) is there any of you lot out there who work for companies that could put any work our way, or do you have an idea of what the market (vw or not) may need as we could make our own products?

If anybody wants more of a clarification of what we do or can do then give me a pm.

We also do general engineering too,as we have a fully operational workshop, just sorted out Fonz's wheel clearance on his Granada wheels for his Bay

The worst i can say is no we cant do it, but hey im an optamist it will be ready at the end of today

Come on guys nothing ventured,nothing gained

Just to add to that we have made the tools for the Rolls Royce clock gauges, worked on Aston Martin and Jaguar trims (including the leaping Jag on the bonnet ) mainly automotive stuff, but all sorts really, even the first widgets in the Guiness cans.................................above all we are British
