Protool's client base include Formula 1 teams and well-known brand names in the housewares, medical and industrial markets. Steve Hall says that going 24/7 has not only benefited these existing clients, it has also increased overall capacity so that the plant can take on new business.

A new website - www.protoolmanufacturing.com - spells out the company expertise in rapid tooling; production tooling; 3D machining; prototype parts; offshore tooling; pu components and fixtures. A special FTP portal for Protool clients is also available on the website together with full contact details for Protool.

Last year Protool invested over a quarter of a million in the business, mainly on state-of-the-art Objet rapid prototyping and 4.5 axis CNC machining. Steve Hall says that more is to come as the company takes on more international market share.

Founded in 2003 by Steve Hall and Spencer Carter Protool now turns over more than £1 million and employs nine staff.
