Ground clearing begins on the massive new EBC Brakes manufacturing plant and distribution centre at Northampton UK. Designed to bring dozens of new jobs, apprenticeships and increase EBC Brakes domestic made content from 92% to 97% the bulldozers are clearing the new site in Dec 2010, a year late but better than never. The new building will treble motorcycle and automotive sport rotor capacity and bring in house manufacturing of many pressed steel components currently outsourced from the EU.

EBC Brakes remain committed to British Manufacture and hold the line as the ONLY UK manufacturer of brakes not to run off to the Far East or the new era EEC member states to reduce costs.

“We can do a far better job here” says MD Andy Freeman. ”Plus we can do it faster and still retain British Jobs”

How ever hard UK government tries to make it for UK Companies to prosper with taxes, dis-incentives on CGT, IHT and employers and employees NHS payments, pension debacles etc. We are, unlike governments, here for the long term and not just one elected period. Therefore we need to think about 50 year periods, not just four.
