PCT Newsletter - October 2025

Monday 20th October, 2025

With the Autumn leaves now turning we are very much into the long run towards Christmas. We are finding that business confidence in our sectors are strong and if all continues going well then we might well be in for the record month of all time. This success means that we are putting a bit of stress onto manufacturing with lead times coming under pressure. We are not yet at a critical point but if a delivery is required before the end of the year it might be worth scheduling this in sooner rather than later.

Again, looking forwards – we are considering holding a detailed Alicat User Training Course some time in, possibly, November. This would be held here at the Hethel Engineering Centre and would be a one day event involving some theory but also a lot of practical. It is very much aimed at getting the very best out of your Alicat and is emphatically not a sales event. Any expressions of interest at this stage would be very much welcome - so please feel free to get in touch to let us know.
