As a supplier of metal work to Neptune for their litter and dog bins, benches and seats we have worked with them for many years. Both companies are similar in very many ways, we both work with traditional and modern production methods to strict ISO9001 guidelines and procedures to design and manufacture quality items that will last for many years.

The deal marks an exciting twenty five year journey for Good Directions Ltd and its owner Robin Davies, who originally started the company with his wife Patricia from their home in Botley, Hampshire. With a strategy of continual investment in product development, staff, software and machinery the company quickly grew and today we operate from a 15,000 sq ft facility in Botley where we not only fully support our own manufacturing needs after acquiring a long established engineering and fabrication company, Mach Engineering Ltd in 2011 but also service many other companies and industries both locally and across the UK.
