The company wishes to declare publicly that it has donated directly to the Embassy of Ukraine to the UK via the charity "With Ukraine". The daily reports of evil war crimes are distressing & extremely alarming for all. We all have a duty to act now to stop this 21st century evil named Putin.

WithUkraine is a platform set up by the Embassy of Ukraine to the UK to consolidate international efforts in raising funds to support Ukraine and its people.

Over the past months we have been evaluating the application of an anchor point for towlines on the toggle line position point and use of stainless rings as a point of contact. We have concluded that the use of rings can offer the strongest and most robust & reliable connection point.
Given Toggle cords are often forgotten bits of rigging we now offer toggle replacement kits to remind people that they dont last forever and are a bit of critical rescue kit being the first contact point for swimmers.

It is only ten minutes from the old shed and on the edge of Dartmoor close to the rivers. So much more space and all clean and tidy. Its great to have proper storage of all the rope & webbing & stock materials and have dedicated areas for designing & being creative.
