 The
best of both worlds. |
Our staff are a potent blend of craftsmen who are highly
experienced in all aspects of engine reconditioning/repair and the dynamism
that accompanies innovative young men raring to keep abreast of all the
latest technology.
|
| New
Technology allied to sound experience. |
It is a mixture of this deep-seated knowledge and the
determination to be at the forefront of new technology as and when it
proves itself to be advantageous, that has been largely responsible for
the enviable reputation that Thurston has accrued over the years. This
approach enables the Company to offer an invaluable service to both industrial
and private customers.
|
| Specialised
work requires specialised workshops. |
Further specialised workshops have been added over
the years to accommodate larger cylinder boring machines, crankshaft grinders and many other
modern machines, thus allowing the Company to expand into the heavy commercial,
industrial and marine markets. Thurston's is now one of the oldest established
engine reconditioning firms in the country. Additionally, in conjunction with our sister company
E H Thompson & Son Ltd., we are ideally situated to provide general engineering services with
their 3000 hours per month machining capacity.
