I went down to leeds a couple of months back and met Kev a great helpful guy and he was in the middle of revamping the whole engraving side of the business.They now offer a very impressive range of engraving services from any item they stock engraved before delivered to a one of custom engraved sign and fast turn around.

Vinny Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 The strong rumour is that the founder went bankrupt leaving the partner with all the work and debts - so he left and got a job with another company - leaving two large trade suppliers in the whatsits as well as a lot of individual trade customers. You can still use their trade boards to pull in the business just choose another supplier. Forum sponsors T.COLLEDGE and glenway offer the trade service as well as birch.
