Hello. I'm a new business and got some rudimentary insurance, not knowing what the going rate for insurance was. Now I'm trying to figure out what I should, or shouldn't be paying. So the question is, what are you all paying for insurance?? I've not got a huge set up yet and I know it's a difficult ...

So sad to receive the news that Slater Harrison have gone into receivership. As a result I thought I'd look for other suppliers and get some samples. Daler Rowney was one, but I had to pay nearly £40 for a sample set. Bemused when I opened the set to find tiny sample boards, measly compared to other...

Thanks Mitreman, will do!

I’m looking to buy a pneumatic underpinner having used a Cassese one recently. A real time saver. Alfamachine U200p looks like an ideal bench top underpinner (I’m going to adapt the bench so it sits flush with the surface), and A+ Automation do the A-3p which looks very similar although a little pri...
