What the others said....

Here in NYC, the mecca of well, everything except agriculture, plating/heat
treating has really taken a hit. Mebbe a couple left. The rest are in NJ.

Also seems that people who work for regulatory agencies are culled partially
for their character-disordered-ness, partially for their stupidity. But,
they don't miss much, dat's f'sure.

But, this all could just as well spell opportunity iffin you can handle it.
Seems like the remaining platers are busy. Specially w/ American Chopper
and the apparent genetic craving for custom bikes...

Oh, I was wrong about NYC. Now it is just the mecca of, well, yuppy
stockbrokers/daytraders/loiyers, and the housing thereof. Oh, and U-haul
storage lockers, preumably for the lesser yupsters.
We use NJ for pollution purposes.

Hi all,

I'm looking to retire shortly and need advice on whether to start new
business

I want to form a metal Polishing/ChormePlating company in the UK. My main
interest of work will be Classic Cars/ Bikes . I have the capital,
enthusiasm, and drive to make a go of it. Any body out there can offer
ANY advice greatly appreciated.

I understand the UK is about to be hit by loads of new Regs concerning
chemicals etc. Can anyone throw any light on this ?

Lastly, any pit-falls I should expect!! (YEP, I BET THERE'S LOADS) but I
really want do this.

Cheers !!
