But let's be honest about it.
If it's a bubble, it's been a bubble that's been a bubble for the last four years and it doesn't look like it's slowing down.
It's only getting busier and bigger.
as we get more entrenched in it.
So I don't know what the definition of a bubble is, but tell me more so about the West Midlands, because it's always been a very, traditionally, it's always been a very strong part of UK manufacturing.
Let's not mention anything to do with cyber security while we're on the conversation.
the us kind of i feel like i'm going to be reacting to things happening that have already happened and oh i'll be stressing about it i'll be waking up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night thinking oh my god what's happening back though you'll be absolutely fine nothing to worry about but just a fun fact when you were mentioning chocolate the first chocolate bar ever made uh do you know where it was are you going to tell me it was bourneville it was well bourneville is where is the home of it now because it was made by
Fries chocolate who started up in Bristol but sold out sorry should I say joined with Cadbury in 1919 but it was made in I think 1847 in Bristol um by Fries yeah up to then they had actually been uh drying out the chocolate and getting rid of the um the cocoa solid it was a by-product it was a gelatinous mass that they didn't have anything to do with and he the first
concept of maybe let's take it back in and make a more solid product rather than the powder, which is what they were all manufactured at the time.
Anyway, that's just something for our sweet tooth to be thinking about on the non.
Yeah.
So historically, a huge amount of manufacture that goes on in the British Midlands and now
You've established yourself with sales territories.
Will you be looking at contract manufacturer?
I suppose everybody has to, to some extent, especially in this industry where need, they say that you've got to kind of face up to the fact that you've got to keep yourself in the manner to which you become accustomed.
You have to be able to get your hand on product.
And at some stage, as you go from success to success, I mean, you're going to reach capacity in the Midlands, aren't you?
Yeah, and it's a story that's been replicated in many ways by many of the people that we have on this particular podcast.
They've all had the same kind of issues that you face.
I mean, needs must as the devil drives, as they say, but you've got a great historical basis to come from.
