Thought some of you might like a read of this nice little Hope factory tour. Its behind a paywall but I’ve gift linked:

Here's a gift article for you from Escape Collective: https://escapecollective.com/behind-the-curtain-the-manufacturing-floor-of-hope-technology/?gift-token=CDwlL1p4

I needed a warranty job on a wheel 4 to 5 years ago and realised it was cheaper to drive it over than pay for postage. I dropped the wheel off, went for a lap of Gisburn, then came back to collect it. Everyone was genuinely friendly and, just as I was about to leave, Johnny said, “If you’ve got time, I’ll give you the tour.” It was really interesting and you leave thinking that if you lived any closer, you would be applying for a job.

I only get half way through before being forced to sign up before reading any more, is this correct or am I doing something wrong?

Not sure. Maybe the gift link has run out.

I think Gift links from EC are personal to the recipient i.e. not an entire forum unfortunately 🙂
I should be able to gift link the article (to a single person) if anyone is interested and wants to send me a message.

Yep, apologies from me - I misunderstood how they work. I thought that once I posted it they would let a set number of people read it before the link expires.
