With many restorers and bike builders finding themselves with time to focus on their projects, British brake component specialist Venhill Engineering says it has seen "significantly increased demand for cables and hoses this year".

Bradfield, Operations Manager: "We've been able to keep up with demand
by introducing a split shift system, so everyone can continue to work
while social distancing." |
Operations Manager Martin Bradfield told IDN: "We initially thought we'd have to close the factory in the spring due to the British Government's mandated lockdown - there wouldn't have been space for all the staff to socially distance.
"After an open discussion the team decided to introduce a split shift system, allowing everyone to continue to work while allowing the required workplace distancing. Before long we could see that this offered the opportunity to bring on a few new team members to the quieter of the two shifts, which we did once lockdown restrictions were eased."
Five new members of staff have joined the team at Venhill's factory, located south of London, increasing production capacity in the hose and cable workshops and shipping.
Venhill has also launched a completely new website with an enhanced 'My Garage' Part Finder tool with an option for dealers to store details of vehicles they have ordered products for.
