2 year waiting list?? Can’t they employ more people and push them out a bit faster…

Difficult to find enough good welders apparently. Better to wait than have a shoddily built one?

The amount of factories that have shut down with top notch welders is saddening around here….you’d of thought they’d be plenty looking for work

Which is where an apprentice came in, back in the day...

No incentive to have them now unless you are a big company

What happens when you catch up. Lay them off and sit round twiddling your thumbs. IMO there better as they are, known workload for a minimum 2 years ahead so just keep plodding on.

Why not half the workforce and have 4 years work ahead of you…

Perhaps a 4 year wait will put purchasers off. 2 years folks are obviously happy with.

Don't know anything about the firm to be honest? Is it a family firm or do they employ many?

They’re not local to Gamic though.

I know but I’d imagine it’s countrywide

Hell of a lot of lost business though, not everybody can wait that long.

Swings and roundabouts isn't it I suppose.
You'd certainly have be planning well forward if your thinking of purchasing. And hope nothing goes wrong in the meanwhile.

It's a small company, on a working farm in mid-Wales, building premium kit. Their trailers will never be about in numbers like the mass produced ones.

Even in Welshpool mart they are vastly outnumbered by the Ifor rattleboxes.

Few around here...but a local welshman sells them and offers very good service. But even he struggles to get them.
