No standing still 20/06/2007
 
When precision sub-contract machinist Unicut Precision based in Welwyn Garden City acquired the loss-making sub-contract turning company A J Clarke (Automatic Machinists) of Bourne End, Buckinghamshire in December 2005, Unicut was riding the crest of the wave. Sales were up on 2004 by 28 per cent with some 40 per cent of orders taken from export contracts in the US, Canada and Germany. In that year the two directors Jason Nicholson and Charles Kenny had just completed a project to double the floor space in the Welwyn Garden City machine shop to 12,500 ft2 by taking on the building next door and at that time 18 people were employed.
