The aim is to get Dorset people to use Dorset businesses.

The sharp ones among you will have noticed that our factory actually resides in Hampshire, however given that there is no scheme at present promoting Hampshire Businesses we thought we would go next door. Given that a large majority of the workforce live in Dorset and we are right on the border the guys at BuyDorset didn't seem to mind.

We are offering our fellow BuyDorset members an exclusive deal to celebrate bringing our Design, Mould Tooling and Manufacturing services to Dorset. We will be offering our Design expertise for free to businesses who are members of BuyDorset and commision Injection Tooling orders in 2009.

Top Story: Budget is renamed 'Fudgeit'

I have started this blog so many times hence it being posted so late after Wednesday's umm... annoucement? It just turned into a rant and got me all upset.

So I have decided not to write anything to complex...(I'm started to tense up) or anything of serious note other than the government have again failed to support the only people to get us out of a recession, namely small to medium sized businesses.

Again, they have made the figures fit their philosophies, solely for political gain (my teeth are clenched) when they should be working on behalf of the people. No tangible help for the manufacturing industry, about the only industry able to effect growth output in the short term, to halt the slide towards deflation.

Whilst we are trying to support inventors and innovation they are trying to give themselves a bonus for turning up to work??? Call me ridiculous but isn't that called wages? (my right eye is twitching and my fingers hurt from typing too hard) OK OK calm down....

Basically they have totally lost it, encouraging people to spend and create debt to drive the mirage a growth economy. It all goes pear shaped because finally somebody says "hang on... I'm not lending you anymore money because there's not a hope in hell you're going to pay me back" then everbody stops lendng because well basically they didn't have any money in the first place and any money they did have they have spent it because the government told them to....

"Oh but hang on what will happen to my Utopian ideal that there will be continuous growth in the UK economy... I've had 10 years and there's more growth I know there is...." whines Presdient Brown. No you idiot you must have been locked in the cupboard by school bullies at the time everybody else did GCE Economics which clearly states that can't happen..... "but my 10 years ..." yes you dribbling baffoon probably realistically 7 years growth in line with the world economy but a babboon with a limp could have been CoE whilst that was happening.

'Oh look we made loads of money this year, what shall we do with it?' Asks deputy CoE
'Let's spend it all because we'll all have loads of money for ever because I say there will be infinite growth and in my GCE Economics lessons nobody said that couldn't happen...... says babboon with limp.

(I'm about to explode and also I have ranted alot)

I'll leave you with a picture (top) which I think sums it all up.....

An award winning product

Congratulations to our friends at Curventa for winning a prestigious Good Design Award 2008 for their work on the Ruroc Helmet.

We are proud to have been part of taking this innovative British collaboration project all the way from product consultation, mould tool manufacture through to full scale plastic injection production. It has been a very steep learning curve for all involved and only now are we beginning to see the fruits of our labour!

Although origionally designed with skiers and snowboarders safety in mind the concept is so origional that is is being applied across a range of sports, from BMX, motorcross even to Formula1!! Below is the back page of the Times showing the new helmet launched to coincide with the very first ever night race, can you tell which one??

Check them out at the race in Shanghai this weekend and see how many teams you can spot who have the helmets??

B.E.C Group is now uniquely placed to offer the Tooling design and manufacture expertise for helmet construction and production. Our experience dealing with this projects makes us one of the very few British manufacturers still invovled in Helmet design.

Combine this with the innovation and creativity used to take this product to market we should be the first people you call if you are thinking about designing new safety equipment especially in the sports industry.
