To a new facility 3 times the size of the existing one. With Pete Morris retiring some years ago, the need to re-home what he had in the midlands, it soon became apparent that bigger premises were needed to hold castings, forgings and the material that is hard to source other than in large quantities. It will allow the existing business to expand and the future potential for new business to grow.
Watch this space, AN is no longer the company that once just rubbed along trying to survive from one year to the next under previous owners, with Joe's foresight, passion and patience it is now in a very good position. I would like to think AN will still be going when I am pushing up daisies, so whoever ends up with my Nortons will still get spares. Some will say that it is family owned and all could end if they sold up, though very unlikely. I would prefer to say the 'current caretakers' as owners may come and go but AN will still exist even in 50 years time, that I am sure.
