Based in two units next to GHR in Maldon, Essex, the company will be headed by Cruikshank, formerly of Pace Products, where he developed an enviable reputation for not only constructing but also designing high specification products for motorsport, supercar, motorcycle and marine applications. The new company will be producing fabricated and machined products for either batch runs or bespoke one-off requirements with all materials used coming with a certificate of conformity ensuring that quality is guaranteed.

The company provides a full service from initial concepts right through to full installation, undertaking work to tight deadlines with strict confidentiality. Typical of products they produce are radiators, charge coolers, intercoolers, oil coolers, pipework, fuel and fluid tanks, roll cages and seat sub-frames. MJS Fabrication also manufacture pit and paddock equipment such as quick lift jacks, air bottle trolleys and paddock tables.

Commenting on the formation, Martin Cruikshank is confident that his experience will aid the company's growth.

"I've worked on numerous products that have been installed on leading edge performance vehicles, especially within motorsport, so I am fully aware of the level of quality - both in terms of design and manufacture - demanded by motorsport customers. The long term aim is to expand MJS Fabrication and to broaden the scope of work to suit for the skills I have developed over the years. Having GHR as a partner can only be positive as being based next to one of the country's leading racecar preparators and builders is such a unique position to be in. GHR's experience across all manner of competition disciplines will help grow the engineering capabilities of MJS, delivering even better products to our customers." concludes Cruikshank.

Graham Hathaway, Managing Director of GHR, is equally positive about being involved. I've known Martin for many years so I know what he can do - his work is of very high quality. So when he said he was setting up MJS Fabrication, I had no hesitation in supporting him.
