Cutting-tool supplier Rainford Precision Machines Ltd (www.rainfordprecision.com), which has built a reputation as an authority on micro and hard-material machining, has added Stuart Bishop to its sales team.

Based in Nottingham, he will help end users from Newcastle to Essex in their drive for improved efficiency and credible solutions to seemingly impossible machining tasks.

Managing director Arthur Turner says: “By adding to the technical sales team, we are demonstrating our commitment to supporting and servicing our ever expanding customer base.

“As the machining of particularly hard and abrasive materials such as CFRP, hard steels and aluminium alloys is becoming more prominent, more engineers are seeking the solution that — in many cases — can only be supplied by Rainford Precision.”
