Attracting new business: XYZ turning centre helps family business add sub-contract machining to its tool manufacturing

摘要

Monument Tools can trace its history back to 1880, when George Collier opened a tool merchants business in Brixton (now part of south-west London). The company gained its current name from the location of its first manufacturing operation; opened in 1908 in the shadow of the Monument to the Great Fire of London, it produced plumbing and roofing tools - products that remain at the heart of the company's portfolio some five generations later.
