Ten years of engineering service to the metal finishing industy

Abstract

In March 1974, in the midst of the three‐day working week crisis that was crippling industry, Jacquet Weston Plant Ltd. was formed at Crowthorn, Berks, to recondition electroplating plant. The “premises” at Cambridge Road consisted of a corner of the factory belonging to Allplates Ltd., now a thriving trade plater. In a statement to the finishing trade press shortly after the formation, Mr. Ken Weston, Jacquet Weston Plant's managing director for the past ten years, said: “We have been formed to offer an engineering service to the metal finishing industry, which we will expand in order to make it as comprehensive as possible. As part of that service we find that in these days of escalating costs there is frequently a case where a reconditioned plant will fit in with the new. We aim to supply both, thus offering considerable savings to our customers.”
