Congratulations to the Designer Challenge and
Seeing Red Competition Winners.
The Designer Challenge - Philip Ludgate - Engineering
Manager Products - Ricoh
Our
engineering Challenge openly challenged design engineers
in the UK from our database of companies to answer
4 questions relating to the moulding of a plastic
component and the resulting Moldflow analysis diagram.
We had a large number of entries and eventually our
congratulations go to Philip Ludgate the engineering
manager of Ricoh in Telford who is the winner of the
competition and now the proud owner of a Digiwalker
GPS navigation system. As you can see from Philip's
picture he is a company man, through and through!
Well done Philip, hope you are now finding your road
trips more pleasurable as a result.
Seeing Red - Richard Chatham - Managing Director

and internal components for the medical product industry.
The Seeing Red competition offered mailing recipients
the chance to enter a free prize draw to win a 'red
letter day' voucher redeemable against a drive in
a Ferrari, a ride in a Honda powerboat, an aerobic
flight or a trip to a summer concert. We are not sure
as yet which thrill Richard chose, but as we can all
see he was delighted to win the prize and not shy
of a pose for the camera! (nor it seems is our Business
Development Manager Chris Stiff...)

Having trouble choosing an injection moulding
sub-contractor?
Approaching an unfamiliar company can be a daunting
task. Especially when it involves trusting them with
part of your production process. After all, you want
to feel reassured that the sub-contractor you've chosen
is fit for the job.
Will they be Consistent? Capable? Dependable? And
most importantly trustworthy?
Of course they will tell you they are all these things,
but how can you be sure?
To help you make the right decision we have produced
