After asking Povinelli's for a quote for a new machine, they suggested putting a new body on, hence saving us a considerable amount of money and the job was successfully turned around in four days. Many thanks.!

I thought my only option was to buy a new mincer head when the threads had worn out. On speaking to Paul he took it upon himself to find somebody to re-thread the head, thus saving me 50% of the cost for a new one. I was extremely impressed with the quality of the mincer and the service he provided.
