We are happy to receive feedback from our customers and this week we received something really special from a police officer currently working in Canada…

“I just thought I would drop you an email to let you know I purchased a 2 inch suede lined belt from you guys back in 1992 when I joined the Police in the UK. I wore that belt as a duty belt every day until I left Surrey Police in 2007. In 2008 I joined the City of Calgary protective services and started wearing the belt again on a daily basis as a duty belt.

The belt still looks really good and the suede is still going strong. Quite often people ask me about the belt and they cannot believe it has been a service belt for so many years.

The belt has been unbelievable and I have never done a thing to it except maybe let it out a few holes over the years. Seriously I’ve never treated the leather or the suede and the belt only looks a few years old and is truly stunning. I think age has actually made it look better. If the belt could tell a story it would be quite fascinating to hear as it has seen so much action over the years including being fully submerged on more than one occasion.

I just wanted you guys to know what a fantastic quality belt you make and I’m hoping to wear it for the next 20 years until I retire. One of my closest friends keeps asking me for the belt but I will never part with it.

For your information I now live in Calgary Canada so the belt has to cope with -40 winters and even the cold temperatures don’t faze it.

Thanks guys for such an amazing belt.”

We are delighted to have installed a new receding head 70-ton Atom press for all cutting mediums. The press combines state-of-the-art computer controlled accuracy with up to date safety systems for improved finished articles as well as enhanced working conditions for operators.

The new press, already in operation, allows us to both expand the rate of productions as well as increase the range of cutting options available for future designs.

Jonathan Littlewood, Managin Director, said of the new press, “A new press is a significant investment for any company and we are already seeing an improved workflow in the factory. The investments itself marks a key point in our development as we meet the growing demands of our export market alongside the improving prospects in the domestic economy.”

“The installation was completed over just 3 days – involving some challenging logistics – and we would like to thank the team from Cutting Systems UK for their help.”
