Vibro Impact Air Hammer strikes a blow

90206000 - Vibro Impact Air Hammer
We know that seized components can cause a real problem at times and it was good to hear that recently, while visiting a couple of garages, our sales reps were able to come to the rescue when faced with this setback and this was with the help of the Sykes-Pickavant Vibro Impact Air Hammer tool – 90206000 – A great tool to use for loosening seized suspension parts as well as rusted nuts and bolts.

Charity Bike Ride from Manchester to Blackpool beach!

Our Sales Rep, Dave Noon – Area Sales Manager for North England & North Wales has been limbering up in preparation for the Manchester to Blackpool Bike ride in support of ‘The Christie’, a cancer charity that raises money to fund projects at The Christie NHS Foundation Trust in Manchester. 

The Christie is one of Europe’s leading cancer centres, treating over 40,000 patients a year and is also an international leader in groundbreaking research into cancer treatment.

This year the 60 mile Manchester to Blackpool Bike Ride takes place on Sunday 10th July starting at Manchester United Football Ground, taking cyclists along country lanes all the way to the finish on the South Promenade in Blackpool.

The Christie charity holds a special place in Dave’s heart as his sister is currently going through treatment for Breast Cancer and taking part in the bike ride is Dave’s way of helping to repay The Christie for the treatments his sister has had.

Dave will be taking part in the race for the first time and we wish him the best of luck!

You can sponsor David by donating through Just Giving – http://www.justgiving.com/David-Noon

It’s time we had a website redesign!

Some of you will have seen our current website – www.sykes-pickavant.com and as informative as it is, general feedback shows that there is a great need for a comprehensive search facility and a spare parts list. 


You will be pleased to know that we have now contacted several web design companies, giving them a brief of our requirements and so in the next couple of weeks we should see things starting to move in the development of a new site. The project will take a few months from start to finish but if anyone has any ideas, requests or suggestions as to what they would like to see as part of the all new website, then please do drop us a line via our Facebook page CLICK HERE or via email – sales@sykes-pickavant.com 
It’s always good to know what users of the site would like to see so all comments welcome.
