Hope Technology Film

We recently spent a few days with the awesome guys at Hope Technology. If you don't know Hope then get clued up, these guys take British Engineering to the highest level. Producing pretty much every little part of their products in-house at their facility in Barnoldswick in Yorkshire/Lancashire (its controversial!). The high tech machinery and set-up they have in the factory is simply amazing. We really are talking Formula 1 level technology and machining. Have a watch and see for yourself. Thanks to the guys at Hope for all their support of MTBcut over the years.
