I think montracon are one of the best and as they are built in Yorkshire they have gone up a bit more in my estimation.

I live where the factory is and never heard anything! Think everyone got out ok but the place wants shutting down its a joke.A bloke was killed there a year or two ago.One of the machines lifts the sides up by suction and somehow it came off and killed him.The yard well you cannot move for crap everywhere let alone in the factory.
