A bit of a sad but reflective day today…

This magazine was on my desk this morning, and it reminded me that this is the very last issue that will be worked on by our friend (and in Lisa’s case, ex-colleague) David Wiggins, as he retires from Machinery Market and the machine tool industry today.

An industry-wide known ad man, David became a co-owner of the magazine a few years ago, where he looked after us very well indeed.

I first met David when he was the Marketing Director at Cincinnati Milacron in the late 1990s. I then became a customer of his when I joined Hardinge Bridgeport in the very early 2000s and he joined Machinery Market. I’ve been a customer and friend of his ever since.

He is the ultimate professional—dedicated, honest, passionate, and incredibly supportive and confidential. He helped us launch brands whilst at Hardinge, and then again for our two businesses here in Bristol when we decided to go it alone.

So David, thank you. It’s been a real pleasure working with you for these past 30 years! We’ll miss you, but at least we can now concentrate on dinners, fine wines, and the odd cricket grudge match, where you can tell us some of your hilariously funny travelling stories!

Enjoy this next chapter, but keep in touch… much love from us all at Machine Tool Sales Online, MACH Machine Tools, and of course, the whole of the Andrew family. x

That’s a couple of weeks work in the bag and our MACH Machine Tools team are ready for you on not one, but 3 stands at Southern Manufacturing in Farnborough tomorrow through Thursday!

Come and see what this DynaPath control is all about and have a go on it too…but MACH Machine Tools aren’t just about CNC, they’re also very well known for manual machine tools too, so they’ve taken a couple of those along too, because, let’s face it, we all love machines with handles on them!!

Hope to see you over the next few days…

Bristol to Hull on a Friday!….”are you crazy” they said! But absolutely not!

This is MACH Machine Tools doing what it says it’ll do, by supporting our young engineers right across the country, with us sponsoring the Engineering Apprentice of the Year Award and attending The Hull Training & Adult Education Awards Evening at The Guild Hall in Hull last night.

And what a great night it was too!

Congratulations to all last night’s winners, and of course a special mention to James Seymour from Bright Blue Foods, who won the Engineering Apprentice of The Year Award. (We are a bit biased!! 😀) It was a privilege to present his prize to him on stage.

We met some great apprentices and their employers during the evening, and also had the chance to catch up with last year’s Engineering Award winner, Richard Cartwright from Supercraft in Brough, who gave us a great insight into his year since being recognised by the college and MACH Machine Tools last year. Keep up the good work Richard!

Thanks must go to Rachel David, Carole and Cheryl from HTAE for inviting us and organising the event…it’s always great to spend an evening celebrating the young people’s achievements.

Yesterday went really well for the Loughborough University - MACH Machine Tools’ Team Tetra at the Red Bull Soapbox Challenge in London….

Our driver, Magnus made it all the way to the bottom of the course, and that’s no mean feat!! Yes we had the Tetris blocks slowly falling off the car as he went down the hill and over the jumps, which made for a comedic performance, especially, when he punched the last block off at the bottom of the hill!! Great fun all day!!

We’re still not sure what place we came in the race, but we did really well and are very proud of ourselves!!

Keep an eye on Dave TV, where the whole race will be broadcast this week….

And while MACH Machine Tools’ sponsored Red Bull Soap Box Team, “Tetra”, are throwing themselves down the hill at Alexandra Palace in London today, (22nd June), The beautiful David Appleby built Triumph TR7 V8, also sponsored by MACH, is at the other end of the country…“Piloted” by Mark Higgins, who’s smashing the Argyll Rally at their first visit there…Why did we say “Piloted”, well, take a look at the following pictures!

We’ll keep you posted on how the MACH Teams do this weekend. Needless to say, it’s great to be part of all this!!

Have you heard about Red Bull’s Soap Box Challenge??? Then Read on…

MACH Machine Tools is delighted to announce its sponsorship of a group of 4 students from Loughborough University in this years Red Bull Soap Box Challenge.

“Team Tetra” has designed and built a steel space frame chassis Soap Box that’s covered in colourful “Tetris” style blocks. The team is led by Nyah Warner (a Product Design Engineering Student), assisted by Magnus Knight (an Industrial Design Student and Soap Box Driver), Jacob Turner (Graphic Design Student and Co Pilot) and Luke Gotts (Civil Engineering Student and Chief Engineer on this project). Nyah told us that, “Despite each of us studying different subjects, a great team emerged when we united our skills and knowledge. We’ve learnt and truly believe in the power of multidisciplinary collaboration. We want to share the importance of this within design teams that will hopefully inspire younger generations. This Soap Box looks great, its really strong and its fast too, so we’re really confident!”

David Andrew from MACH Machine Tools, and The Vigilance Groups’ Managing Director said, “We were inspired by this Group of Students…Sponsoring them both technically and financially fits perfectly with our Educational Sponsorship Programme that we’ve been rolling out over the past 4 years.” Talking about the race he concluded, “We’re all really looking forward to seeing how we do in the race. The Red Bull competition is always a very lively Global event…this year it’s in the UK too, at Alexandra Palace in London on Saturday the 22nd June 2024. It’s also being televised on Red Bull TV at 6PM on Saturday, so tune in and have a watch! Its great viewing!“

What are you doing this weekend??Something as cool as this??

The DAE Engineering Triumph TR8 “Tony Pond” recreation, with MACH Machine Tools as Technical Partners, is on the Isle of Man competing in the Manx Rally, with rally legend Mark Higgins behind the wheel and Carl Williamson as co driver…

Commenting today, Dave Appleby said, “We’ve been busy since the RAC Rally building this tarmac spec’d version of the car, and it seems to suit Mark too…he got a 2nd in class at the Severn Valley a couple of weeks ago, so it looks like we’ll be competitive this weekend…”

It’s a journey of nostalgia for Mark, who was on the Island 44 years ago as a young lad, watching his father compete in the Manx, the same year that Tony Pond won the event in his factory Triumph TR8, a car built Dave Appleby and the team at Rover SV Division in the 80’s….so a lovely nod back to the past for the team, the car and the driver!

We’ll keep you posted on how it’s going.
