New Hurco arrives along with an upgrade 29 April 2021

We've just taken delivery of another Hurco VMX42i. This is our 3rd VMX42i, what can we say, we love them! Investment is very important to keep us up to date and and the sharp end of things. The new machine is almost identical to the last VMX42i we had with the exception that it comes with coolant through spindle (CTS) added on to give us more flexibility and allows us to do more carbide deep hole drilling.

We're at it again! 21 October 2016

We're at it again! I have to admit that football isn't my first sport. Recently though I was lucky enough to spend time with Ryan Shearer, coach of the Under 13's Leicester City Representative football team, a feeder for the Leicester City Academy.

CGP hits 30 years old and is stronger than ever. 17 May 2016

CGP has now been in business for 30 years. We have seen 5 Prime Ministers, worked through probably the same number of recessions including the incredibly painful crash of 2008/9 and seen the invention of things like Sat Nav, Google, mobile phones and the 'selfie'. Indeed we even saw Elton John marry... A woman!
