That's a damn shame that.
I never met you but I've seen your work and love it .. but if you're not happy then health and happiness are far more important than pleasing us lot!
All the best however the future works out for you!
PS .. any more of those 'open' style front turrets available? .. now I have a Defender, like ..
Yes Ive some left
Thats ok cos we are all rich
It ****es me off, even the lez zone made my van and truck worthless junk.
Theres a 6000 sq ft building available with a leaky roof nearby in rayliegh, rent is £22000 but the rates are £27500pa.
Thats why I hate business rates ,they dont distinguish between big work with low turn over, and big business with high turnover.
Perhaps I need to move op north, but its a bit cold for my liking

Good your feeling positive about change, this is an official order for a 90 td5 cross member as per our chat the other day, let me know if its still poss? I can make it anytime to suit you. I could enquire on the farm if you want, they have plenty of units here.

Could have another one if you wanted to come to the promise land . Ton of places you could rent out up here. I was looking at a large unit across the road from my work a while ago. Was big enough for a wee bit of personal work, would have fitted two cars with ease and was in a secure industrial estate. 200 quid a month.

You are in Stoke though... no one in their right mind would want to be there
Sadly living 2 miles from the M1 prices round me for units are ridiculous, been looking for a local one for ages for my little business to rent, i'm running out of places to put sheds in the garden!

That's the ticket, move to gods chosen county (Yorkshire you heathens) rents are cheap, the beer's good and we have (in Sheffield at least) lots of engineering works still in business. A Land Rover specialist would fit in real well.

You're only here once so best spend your time doing what makes you happy, eh? Glad I've got a bit of Blacksheep bling for the back on its way to match the bumper on the front.
Hope your future is brighter and you find something that you can do with as much flare as your fabrications.

I hope you're not retiring my friend. My health forced me to retire 5 years ago (at 40 years of age) and i'm bored ****less all day with nothing to do but play with the dogs and wait for the wife to get home from her business. Whatever you do good luck for the future.

Yeah. Even if you become purely a supplier of quality chassis replacement parts worth keeping name going in some form.

Think we have better weather than the south at the moment and in some parts of the north east they are practically paying folk to open businesses.
Sorry to hear you are closing your doors but as others have said your health is more important.

Clive how much is a 90 crossmember anyway? I know it says on your website supply is from 75+vat. Wish I could do the drive to Essex but its a bit far for me so even if I purchase one I could get a local cowboy to stick it on for me

Bloody Hell! That's a hellova shame Clive. You fitted new x-member to my 110 last year, awesome quality and top job all round.
You could always move to Norfolk, loads of work for a man of your skills up here and cheaper rent too!
Best of luck with what ever you end up doing.
