Nepcon Brighton 2003

Myself (David McClure - Taking this picture) Hamid Beheshti, & Nigel Windsor (from Contract Cables) and Steve Tidball (Leadmaker Services - note: everybody commentated on his suntan) took the day out to visit Nepcon 2003 hosted at the Metropole Hotel Brighton.

We were a little disappointed with the turnout of stands. The event was advertised with 250 exhibitors but there was around 120 actual stands (A stand may have been showing for more than one manufacturer or his representative)  - we managed to do most of the show in just one morning.
The weather for the day was fantastic so after a seafront lunch took it easy to discuss the days work.

Today the 6th June our machine shop took delivery of one of the first Mini Mill Machines to hit the UK - This new state of the art CNC Milling Machine has just a 6ft sq footprint and is equipped with an automatic 10 position tool changer - Now all we have to do this weekend is read the 500 page manual and get it up and running by Monday morning !!

As from the 1st January 2003 Series 4 acquired the stock and business of Sabre UK Ltd - due to Graham & Sally Anderson Retiring although by the look of Graham at our Xmas works do he does not look too happy.

Unlike the Big Issue Vendors who tend to stop you in the street Michelle & Caroline are seen here modeling the latest issue of the Series 4 magazine.
Issue 6 dropping through a letterbox near you soon.

We have now taken possession of our full useable space at Series 4



Series 4 now occupies 9,000 Square Feet and we carry  £1,000,000 of stock.
