The personal touch 👏

I come in regularly with my brother who as additional needs, I try find a quiet area because he coughs allot and I feel like it might put people off, we are only in for a short time order eat and go. Today we sat and the area became a little busy. I explained to leann we had moved tables after ordering. She come over cleaned the table and went out her way not only to speak to me but also my brother, being disabled he doesn’t get many people speaking directly to him so this was so nice and relaxed him so much. I take David many places but he prefers the Bowman. Food is alwdy very good and cut up for him as requested.

NOT the place to ask for sintered Oilite bronze bearings

Bowman International Ltd. UK.

Trust me, this is one impossible company to deal with!
This is a review based on my own experience with this company.
It's a long story but I will try to make it very short;

I was looking to have some oilite bearings custom produced. I had working prototypes for both
the bearings and the motor shaft that was supposed to work with them.
I googled around and found Bowman International Ltd. in the UK.
Seemed it was what I was looking for so I contacted them in mid-january 2013 and had a
reply from Christian XX shortly after.
All very promising.
We discussed the situation, the product details, minimum order amount etc.
From mid-march 2013 Steve XX took over communications from Christian XX.
We agreed that I should send the working prototypes to him for evaluation, measurements etc. and I did so in late march.
During the next weeks, we discussed tooling costs etc. and I agreed to a production.
From then on, I received nothing but excuses;
- "I must have misplaced an email from you".
- "I can't log on to our server".
etc.
Last word from the company was in mid-august when Steve XX said, he would FedEx the prototypes back to me.
I still didn't know if they would start production or not.
And nothing arrived....
Since then, four or five times I have asked both Steve XX and Christian XX to at least send back my prototypes but
I get no response to emails anylonger and I still haven't had my prototypes back.
- Lots of work has been lost.
- Lots of time has been wasted, almost a year by now.
- My working prototypes are lost.
I'm very sad and frustrated.

If you are looking for a serious business partner in matters Sintered Oilite bronze bearings, I'm afraid this is NOT the place to go.
