And let me tell you as a person in the know. The investment from The Welsh government wont save the steel business it’s just a gesture to save face and to bee seen as doing the right thing. The TaTa Ships are in the harbour stocked with steel that are tariff free as a result. Its a smoke screen...

Ironically the company you refer to in Wales is the very company I work for to subsidise my choice of working a farm and the supplementary income needed to survive 🙈 And no I don't agree with this ‘investment’ either..

Morally speaking should a tax payer support what is in essence a failing/unprofitable business? We run a small family farm and the economics dictate no matter how many hours I/we spend working it does not return a sizeable profit, we had an option to diversify and get another income stream or...

Sounds all too familiar. We're having similar issues where false promises were made to ensure that a plentiful supply of free help was available over the years. Nothing has materialised, and my parents are near to retirement age now. Deathly silence when any mention of what the plan is going...

Yes since July 2020 it’s 3x the price, went up a lot later that year and kept going. Quoting for work has been a challenge over the past 18 months to say the least.

Nearly doubled.

Yes there are 2 sizes to cover both quads and mule/gator types. As soon as were going live with it I’ll post a link on here for you to look at.

Yes, but what isn’t with a big grinder and a gas axe at the end of the day. 😀

Yes quite a bit cheaper. Mine needs a permanent home but won’t be affected by muddy wheels.

I’ll forward the specs when it’s all sorted. Thanks

🤣

I'm currently looking at introducing a device to the market to secure Farm Quads/ATV's and make it much harder for thieves to steal them. It's a simple device which you drive the quad bike into, and only takes seconds to lock up (4/5 Seconds) and about the same to unlock without the need for any...

It's in the arse end of nowhere so there isn't enough people around who are interested in that type of work, they have got too big for the area they are based in, not enough affordable housing (less than £180k) nearby so most commute from further away which as we know the way things are is at...

Same as fuel prices shooting up after the so called ‘shortage’. We’re all back at it now as before like nothing happened and fuel prices have remained high. Had this conversation with my timber supplier when he said it’s hard to get timber but his yard has always been fully stocked...

Yes very true, hyperinflation of commodity prices has created a negative balance in terms of demand but unfortunately this is going to cause some casualties. It’s like 2008 all over again.
