In between 1983 and 1993 I was Handling Director and operator of 'Styles Precision Components Limited', a 10-person precision machining jobbing store. You understand the type of position: several Bridgeport's along with a number of Colchester lathes! My small staff ended up excellent, although the enterprise was stuck during the 1960's. I had grown the enterprise from £50,000 every year to about £500,000 every year, but in 1993 enterprise during the North-East of England was terrible. Designs confronted closure.
