@dysfun I realise there is a joke about this.

But we have evaluated the idea of offshore manufacture, and, basically, for us, keeping production of literally everything where we can visit factories to supervise QC actually allows for a much higher quality end product.

Pick-and-place/reflow = Newbury

CNC machining of casework = High Wycombe

Final assembly = Wokingham

We literally pay visits to where these processes take place.
