Sharp Tool Tech

Sharp Tool Tech has been over at No. 86 in the Sidco Industrial Estate for a good while. Being on Trichy Road means there's always something moving outside. The industrial estate is a busy place with lots of different shops doing all sorts of things. We have a small space here, but it’s enough for what we do. The lighting inside isn't the best, so we use some extra lamps over the workbenches. We spend most of our hours looking at tools and fixing things up. It’s a lot of sitting and focusing on small details. My back usually hurts by the end of the day, but it’s fine. We have a small kettle in the corner for making tea when we need a break. The walls are covered in calendars and old notes we’ve pinned up over the years. We don't really have a big team, just a few of us who know the drills. Sometimes customers walk in with something broken and we take a look at it right then. It’s not a formal place. You can just come in and talk to us. The noise from the other shops in Sidco usually blends together into one big hum. It’s a familiar sound to us now. We just show up every morning and see what the day brings. No two days are exactly the same, but the work stays steady. We just keep our tools sharp and our heads down until the sun goes down.
