Guttridge Laserfab acquires Leicester Water Jet

Lincs-based sheet metal sub-contractor Guttridge Laserfab has acquired the business assets, work in progress and goodwill of Leicester Water Jet.

Leicester Water Jet adds a valuable Leicester base with a high performance water jet cutting capability to Guttridge's established Laserfab division. "We will be continuing the friendly professional service that Chris Procter started in 2003, but also adding our complete range of laser cutting, bending, fabrication, welding, painting and assembly services to provide a more complete one-stop service, " said Peter Guttridge, managing director (pictured, left). John Midlen (pictured, right) will manage the newly acquired activity.
