Amazingly we have moved again due to demand for space!

Now we have a huge unit in the south of Bristol which is being designed and built for our needs, this will include a full spray oven, blast room and powder coating setup.

First to be moved are a few non split projects...

So cool, may have to sell everything up and get one at some point while I can still afford the petrol :lol: . Roof chop wouldnt be for me, are you taking much out? I always think it throws side profile out too much, but your truck, your rules :)

I'm still at cholwell farm, clutton just off the A37 but in a different building.

My landlord sadly died 2 months ago and his sons are now running the site, so a few changes have been made and I moved 50ft to the right.
