Zenith Engineering Works

We’ve been set up here on Tramway Road for quite some time now. It’s an old street with a lot of history and we fit right in with our heavy machinery and cluttered shop. We do engineering work, mostly custom bits and pieces that people can’t find in a regular store. The shop always has that heavy smell of oil and burnt metal that never really goes away even on weekends. We don't mind it because it smells like work. Our workers are local guys who have been using lathes and welding torches since they were very young. We don't have a big marketing department or anyone walking around in a suit. If you walk in, you’ll likely find the owner with his sleeves rolled up helping out on the shop floor. We take on projects that are sometimes a bit tricky or unusual. We don’t have those fancy computer-controlled machines for every single thing; a lot of it is still done by hand and a steady eye. People trust us because we tell them straight if a part is going to hold or if it’s just rubbish. We don't see the point in lying about the strength of metal. Tramway Road gets a lot of traffic, and we often have people dropping in just to ask for a bit of free advice on a small repair. We help out when we can. It’s a modest place. No glass walls or air conditioning in the back of the shop. Just fans and the sound of hammers.
