It quickly became apparent that the team at HV Wooding were capable of really adding to the performance of the components we were developing.  They were not content with just providing what was initially required, they wanted to optimise both price and performance

We are very pleased with the outcome of this new assembly, and the quality of the item you have delivered is excellent. It would seem the effort put into modelling it has really paid off. What I was hoping to achieve was a reduction in component count, weight and cost and we have achieved all of these. Consolidation of 5 main parts and their related fasteners into this one item. Weight reduction from 13kg down to 6kg! The cost reduction is also significant!
