Production Manager

This week I would like to introduce Sean, our factory Production Manager. Sean joined our company in 1986 straight from school. He started work in the Pyro shop as an apprentice under George Blain. It soon became apparent that Sean was a very versatile character with an eye for ceramic processes within the factory. After several years working in different departments within the factory Sean was promoted to factory Production Manager. He thrived from the start with his new found responsibility making the job his own. Being a Production Manager is not always easy, with the daily running of our machines, kilns and the powder room. Sean communicates on a daily basis with his own staff but also with Chris, Head of Tooling Department and Jon, Head of CNC Department. Sean is also responsible for the overall production, factory staff, quality control and dispatching of goods. Communication is important for every company, so he attends our very popular production meetings on Monday mornings to discuss current and future orders with our General Manager, Jon, Chris and myself. Sean is an integral part of our company and will always do his upmost to get your order out on time, well packed and proud that it comes from a factory that produces ceramic components in the UK.

Website finished

Our website has been updated with new features,pictures and navigation. Have a good look and browse around, we have tried very hard to make it as accessible and easy to navigate as we can. You should be able to find what you want in four mouse clicks or less.
Using our sitemap or site search could be even a faster option to get there even quicker.
We will try to add more features, like dynamic resizing for different screen resolutions on a later date.

More from me later in the week or after the weekend.

CNC Arrival

Our latest arrival has been setup and made to feel at home between our rows of other CNC machines. It is always a big investment but our turnaround time and flexibility regarding production is important; we like to lead in our field of expertise and products. Our aim is to give our customers continuity and high quality products. To give our staff the best tool possible helps to achieve our goals. Jon, Ben and Steve our CNC Engineers are walking through the factory with a grin like a Cheshire cat.

Southern Manufacturing 2010 update

Visit us today and Thursday

Southern Manufacturing Exhibition 10-11 February

This week has been busy with the day-to-day running of our company, on the factory floor and in our offices. Kirsty has been helping me getting ready for next week’s exhibition, making brochures and sending out invitations, speaking to customers who would like to meet me in person. This exhibition is a great way to meet some of our customers and some future new ones. Examples of several different materials we manufacture will be shown on display. You cannot take all our products with you but we have a wide selection and catalogues to hand. I can honestly say, that I am looking forward to meeting and putting a face to the people I speak to on the phone on a regular basis.


If you would like further information, please give Sharon or Kirsty a call on :+44 (0)1983 528697 and they will be happy to help.

I will post some pictures of our stand (F12) on the blog on Wednesday along with other photos of the exhibition itself.

See you there
