Is MMB still going??
« on: November 06, 2014, 10:08:02 pm »
I have been trying to contact MMB recently, have sent emails & just get an answer phone when I call. They weren't at Blackpool & their website seems to be down. Are they still in business (hope they are) as I was after one of his hulls...

Yes Mark is still in business and I was only speaking to him the other day.

As for the website, that was working last week so assume there may be a technical issue.

He did change telephone numbers a few months back . 01633 843949

I was only talking with Mark a couple of days ago, to order another Mister unit. Everything sounded normal.
However, there does seem to be a problem with the web site since then.

Hi everyone MMB is still out there just spoken to him. MMB is very busy at the moment so if you do phone please allow Mark time to answer. The new number on this site is correct Mark is aware that the web site is down.

Hi Guys, yes we are still going strong... :-)) :-))

We have been very busy with lots of new projects on the go (unfortunately not all boat related <:( <:( ) The latest one we have just finished is an O gauge resin truck kit (just over 9" long) for a model supply company down south. The masters were completely scratch built by myself & Hannah assembled & painted it... This had to be finished to a quite tight deadline which is why we did not go to Blackpool this year....

Just as a side note, we are doing a lot of GRP work at the moment (once you start you have to finish) so if you do ring & there is no answer, keep trying as we are most probably up to our elbows in resin!!

Mark & Hannah..

I am really pleased with the model, a lot of work went into the masters (& a lot of swearing as well!!) but the finished article was well worth the effort...

Foggy going in the post today Bob...

Here's a level of service that deserves a mention:
My new foggy arrived Saturday, super fast. But I had a query on wiring connections so left a message on Marks' answerphone.  Sunday at 9 am he called me back, after checking my Mayhem 'online' status to make sure I was up. All sorted. Many thanks Mark.

Anyone calling him please bear in mind he is laying up a lot of fibre glass hulls at the moment so may not always be able to answer the phone.  Leave a message.  He will get back ASAP.
