Hone All Precision Ltd

“Hone-All have been a supplier to Prodrive for a number of years supporting our Motorsport activity on a variety of components. We engaged with Hone-All on a very high profile non motorsport project as we have high confidence in their ability to deliver what was required in terms of QCD metrics. Yet again Hone-All delivered in every aspect, exceeding our expectations in many instances on the project which had extremely challenging timescales and component complexity.The team at Hone-All were dedicated until each and every last detail had been completed, updating us with their progress on an almost daily basis which generated confidence at Prodrive that these particular parts were under control.Hone-All have demonstrated yet again their ability to be very detailed in their manufacturing whilst also agile enough to respond to customer demands.The project have now been delivered successfully and we look forward to working with Hone-All again in the near future on the next project.Thanks to all of the team at Hone-All.”
