I often hear the problem with Bury is that there is no manufacturing and there are no well paid jobs. I know from my visits to Companies in and around Bury over the years that actually the truth is very different. I saw further evidence of this yesterday when I visited a great Bury based company yesterday called Datum Monitoring. They provide technical services and equipment which essentially measure the movement of surrounding buildings during excavation activities. Well, that is my very simplified description of what they do.
They employ dozens of people here at their headquarters in Bury and dozens more around the Country with some overseas as they export their goods and services. You can find out more about Datum at their website here
Great news about the firm, jobs and the new product.
I think you will find there is less manufacturing than there was a short time ago in the 70’s.
I believe this is what people are comparing it to.
We were all very pleased you took the time to visit us. My staff are the hardest working and dedicated.
Once we launch our new product I’d appreciate you returning to handover over the first system off the production line to our client.
Thanks again
