Gold plated needles


Our needles have been voted the best in the business for many years and I thought I would tell you why. I was introduced to gold plated needles in California in 1987 and decided to sell them here in the UK but soon discovered that no-one in the UK gold plated needles.

I eventually found a company prepared to take on gold plating one thousand size 24 tapestry needles. It was at this point that I made the most important business decision I was ever to make. I was asked how much gold I wanted on each needle – I had simply no idea what to say and mumbled something about the gold not wearing off and he said “British Nuclear Fuels and the Ministry of Defence have 2 microns - that should be plenty!” I agreed and the rest is history.


I did ask what the MOD used the gold for and he said it was for the detonators on grenades!
