NEWDIPLOMAS BOOST SALES OFMETALCRAFT’S HANDS-ON COLDMETALWORKING KITS
NatioNalDiplomaS in Engineering andmanufacturing and product Design have boosted sales ofmetalcraft’s cold metalworking kits to education. BarryWood of Metalcraft told
Technology in Education: “We have been delighted not only with the sales but the level of interest from schools and colleges who can spot the relevance of Metalcraft not only to design and technology, but especially those who are now offering the National Diplomas in Engineering and
Manufacturing/ Product Design. “Over the past 12 months we
have been invited to two events being organised by such schools/ colleges where they have held an open day for other schools in the area. “One of these was at Ormesby
College, Middlesbrough, and the other at Kingsbridge Community College in Devon. Both were a great success. In addition, we attended a special day at Queen Mary’s Grammar School,Walsall, which promoted and introduced
students to engineering.” At the eleventh hour
Metalcraft took a stand at MACH 2010 at NEC in the Education and Training Zone where there was a lot of interest inMetalcraft and particularly in the new top range of XL tools which were originally seen as more for the commercial/ industrial sector. Metalcraft have just launched
their new catalogue (Version 4), an 80 page full-colour publication, which they describe as devoted to ‘the essential range of equipment for crafting metal’. Barry commented: “Our starter
packs, ie. packs of instructions, steel, rivets, nuts, bolts and accessories to make three specific projects have been very successful.We have sold hundreds to education. “So in our new catalogue we
have introduced individual design packs to make nine different projects.We even advise people on the cost of making these items on a repetitive basis for the manufacturing diplomas, mini

cottage industries or fund-raising for schools.” Metalcraft have produced a
DVD which gives detailed demonstrations of every tool in theMetalcraft range and each tool’s features. It closes with a summary and a demonstration of a project being made in minutes.
