A slightly unusual contract...Predator sculpture
We recently worked with Metallic Creations, applying specialist coatings to some fantastic sculptures of various creatures. We had Kind Kong, The Predator (pictured) a Storm Trooper and a Gremlin loitering around the factory for a few days while they were blasted and painted!

The sculptures were on exhibition at the Newastle/ Gateshead 2009 Art Fair at the Sage and attracted quite a crowd! They also gained a place in the Business Journal! Click here to read the article in full.

Metallic Creations produces artwork created from 100% recycled scrap metal car parts. They create various different figures, many being characters from famous films. In the pipeline are figures of Rocky, Michael Jackson and an Astin Martin One-77!

The bespoke sculptures are intricately made and can stand up to three meters tall! As you can see here, the Predator is towering over me! To read the full article and see more pictures visit our website!

New additions to the business  Jonathan and James
I am pleased to announce two new recent additions to the team;

In the workshop, Jonathon Maw, a fantastic painter and a great worker who I am very happy to take on board following the increase in work over the past months.

In the office James Porritt, a Newcastle University Graduate who I have appointed as Marketing Executive. I'm sure most of you will already have heard from James over the phone and some of you will have met him in person. James has been marketing amd and helping with furthering the business particularly in the oil & gas sector.

Both new members of staff have settled well and have quickly become part of the team at amd, meaning you get even better service!
 
A friendly rivalry Battle of Paul and James
Following the recent arrival of James, a rivalry has sparked which is dragging staff out onto the fairways despite the Tyneside winter weather! Paul (Factory Manager) is a solid golfer playing off 18 at Tynemouth Golf Club. James is a young hard hitter who plays off 20 and the pair have been battling it out every weekend.

I believe Paul was slightly shocked on the first round thinking James just "talked a good game" and was lucky to escape with a narrow victory. Since then the pair have been at loggerheads most weekends. If any of you are keen golfers dont hesitate to call and schedule a game with the pair! Though winter golf is not for the faint hearted!

ISO logo

We became fully ISO 2008:9001 registered as of September 25th! I am delighted that we have passed this audit. It was an integral part of pushing the business forward and preparing amd for the future.

We are bringing in a lot more oil and gas work and are striving to become as notorious in the oil & gas, marine, and engineering sectors as
we are in the signage and fabrication sectors.

It was a long process, but with some additions to the factory such as the new indoor shot blasting facility, which ensures a moisure and dust free environment, I am proud to say amd comprehensively passed the ISO audit!

Many thanks must be given to Gary at QSP Solutions for helping out with preparing for ISO approval!
