Owner Leslie Fletcher from Smelly Cat Creations near King’s Lynn has received a grant for a new CNC machine to increase productivity. The precision engineering equipment has also supported the Norfolk Maker to broaden his offer and develop his rapid prototyping, laser cutting & engraving and 3D Printing business.
Leslie said: “The New Anglia business grant has helped me fast track my manufacturing business to new levels with the introduction of a new larger Stoney CNC Exec 8 machine – jobs I couldn’t take on in the past due to size limits. I’m now able to offer customers much greater options and solutions. The grant’s help has been a great stepping stone to increase productivity.”
