Hi I'm Claire West and I'm the Managing
Director of Air Arms and we're here today
to welcome ten lucky golden ticket
winners for an exclusive to around Air arms HQ.
We decided to open up this
competition for the general public to
give them the opportunity to see how we
run things here at Air Arms.
Air Arms is and always has been a family business
and it's crucial to us that our
customers understand the efforts and
what's involved in manufacturing all the
component parts that we use in our
rifles. It's a great insight for them also
to see the passion behind the product
and what it is we do here.
Over the 20-odd years that I've been
coming to see Air Arms production guns, what they are doing here
everything changes, every time you come
here there is something different. I've seen the
metamorphosis from what we call
pure engineering to CNC engineering.
They're always looking to do it better,
do it more efficiently and get a better
result out of it. It's great to see and it's always
fascinating when ever you go on one of these tours,
you never know what's going to come next, there's going to
be something, you know there is and you know it's going to be good.
My name is Peter Loughery, I was
amazed and delighted to find that I was
the golden ticket winner and so this is
why I'm here today looking around the
Air Arms factory and I must say I'm
absolutely amazed at the quality of the
work that goes on on here and the
dedication. It really is stupendous.
The quality of the engineering in the
dedication of the workforce, the sheer
complexity of it all amazes me.
Very. very impressive and I'm absolutely delighted
that my wife and I have been able to
come here today wouldn't have missed it
for the world.
I wasn't sure what to expect when coming here
to come to at this particular Air Arms factory.
I am absolutely amazed,
it certainly out of my eyes, I had no idea
at all how they were made. So, I'm
absolutely dumbfounded by it.
I feel very lucky to have won the golden ticket.
To go away with the knowledge that I've got now,
I'm very lucky and very proud to own an Air Arms product.
It's really important for us as a
company to put on these events and to
invite people in again because the
information, the feedback that we get is
vital, it's so important for us and our rolling development program. To have this
feedback, it ensures that we continue to
develop and we continue to innovate.
It's been such a fantastic day and we're
really looking forward to running the
competition again in 2018 and again
opening our doors to 10 lucky golden
ticket winners.
