So last night, the last of MMG's bits and bobs were removed from Sutton Coldfield and move to Ashbourne. Couple of pictures :

The new premesis at Ashbourne are much bigger with two ramps. The new premesis are coming along nicely. Once they are fully decorated, I'll post a couple of pictures.

Yeah it's dead easy to continue running the business whilst trying to get the new premises set up, wired, ramps etc and move whilst working for yourself. Oh and have a family too. Come on Matt, no need to have a dig.

I'm not having a dig, nor is it a criticism and I certainly have no axe to grind when it comes to MMG. I'm sure it's not easy to achieve a move whilst servicing your existing customers and maintaining a home life but this move seems to have been going on for a year. You've not helped speed it along by posting pictures of closed roller shutter doors in some anonymous "highly secret" location or a pointless pic of an empty workshop somewhere. You're just way too sensitive with regard to any MMG comment that isn't worshipping the very ground that Liam walks on.

Perhaps it is an oversensitive response. But it is a reaction to some of the negative / snide comments in the past that I have read. I'm not saying they are from you, but I guess it's a general response from me. The move started 2-3 months ago, when the lease on the new premises was agreed and the 3 month notice on the old place was handed in. The pictures above will show people who have visited MMG that it is now basically empty. That's it! End of an era at Sutton Coldfield. But the beginning of the next chapter. I don't recall posting pictures of a closed roller door in an anonymous location :unsure:

Maybe it wasn't you that posted that but somebody definitely posted a pic of what purported to be the new premises months ago, which was basically just a closed roller shutter door and a badly cambered entrance ramp that "needed shaving".

Bad news. I no longer have a VX expert on my doorstep. As for an RR, I don't think electricity has made it to Ashbourne yet.

There are some great roads round that way though.
