From holyhead to goodwood - any used machine tool merchants etc

[whm_fab]

Hi folks,

I'm traveling from Ireland to goodwood revival by car, and being that's it's hard to get bits and pieces posted etc post brexit, does anyone know of any used machine tool merchants (milling tooling) or places I could possibly get smallish lengths of flat or round bar stock eg. En Route from Wales to goodwood?

Bit of an odd request I know but I feel like I'm missing out not coming back with something! Thanks!

Mona Fuel and Trading in Holyhead might be worth a call. https://www.monafnt.co.uk/ They're actually a few miles outside Holyhead, near Gwalchmai and Mona, on the A5 close to the Anglesey Showground.
Looking at the possible route, there are plenty of locations not too far off the route, where there might be suitable trading outfits. Places like Chester, Stafford, Telford, the Midlands (Birminghtam, Walsall, Wolverhampton, Dudley), Banbury, Oxford, Newbury, Winchester, Portsmouth. Google is your friend, maybe, or Dentons https://dentons.net/ There'll probably be folk at Goodwood that might be able to suggest places to shop.

Midland Machine Tools, in Stafford, might be worth contacting to see what they can do. https://www.midlandmachinetools.com/
