Today I visited Russell Ductile Castings on Dawes Lane to meet with staff and with James Greaves, its Operations & Technical Director.
We discussed the history of the company which opened here in 1983 (just before I was born) and some of the challenges facing foundry businesses in the current climate. I had a full tour of the site which was fascinating and so helpful in understanding exactly how the business works.
Small and medium businesses are a crucial part of our local economy and it’s great to get the opportunity to learn more about them.
