Dear all,
Chris and I had our weekly meeting on Friday 19th to go through tasks and goals to aim for the upcoming weeks, as mentioned in the previous forum update; additional information on progress at HQ would be shared in a follow-up post; we're wrapping up this month with an overview and current schedule.

A bulk of material came on Friday to make the orders for the Lites, it was a happy surprise to see towards the end of the day. Now it's at the head office where production takes place, we're stocked up and will be for the processing sleeves and components for the Lite colour range. Chris will be taking a handful of sleeves to the anodisers for colour samples to get an idea of how they'll look before the batch of colours is due to be done. We look forward to sharing with you once received, the anodising firm has done a wonderful job on the Black's, the after-effects look and feel smooth and glossy after they were recently anodised.
In the previous forum post, it was mentioned we're looking into working with an engineering firm local to us, which could help boost the turnaround with the machining of the smaller components such as the pins, plugs, and cans for the Lite assembly, it could be done in the hundreds or even the thousands. Soon, the making of the mazes and sleeves will be reviewed with the engineers, to support with demand.
During this week it is catch-up mode and working on getting closer to the completion of the V4's and returns at HQ, we're hoping to clear the table down and free up the machine ready for the rings and the maze components to be underway.
We're working on continuing to fulfil these orders during this week following next. The list of priorities will be carried through in April, it is so satisfying to tick off those jobs you've been aiming to complete 🙂 I'll be back in touch with responses to emails and messages this week, many thanks for working with us, that's a wrap for now from HQ until the next update that'll lead us into May, we appreciate your support while it's taken us longer than we'd hoped for from the January delivery aim, your dedication doesn't go unnoticed, where we would like to confirm the Black's are ready and we can confirm a delivery timeframe.
Please note: we had a temporary issue responding to emails from our new server to Google Mail accounts, please note after this was brought to our attention, this has been fixed with the help of our hosting company.
