I didn't realise how big EBC brakes actually were, I thought they were a small boutique brake company that would probably turnover around the £10 - £15m mark. I thought their route to market would probably be high-profitability product made in the Far East and rebranded as EBC but from what I can find in my 15 minutes of looking: they have a lot more routes to market and manufacture components themselves (callipers at least, but I suspect they also do the pads, etc themselves directly).
Looking at Google Maps at their HQ I initially thought it was simply a distribution centre as it's probably about the size of my company's distribution centre and we import from our factory in the Far East but we also have distribution centres in eight other locations around the world.
Just checked their accounts and they turnover a nudge over £31,000,000 (£40,600,000 for the whole Group) which is not to be sneezed at. Genuinely impressed to be honest, especially at their 38.9% profit margin (59.84% for the whole Group). As a businessman I think they look a great operation with good accounts. If they ever float as a public company I'd be into the IPO. |

Looking at the email link in your signature, it appears you are a digital nomad.
https://www.ebcbrakesuk.com/ nothing hosted there.
https://ebcbrakesuk.com/ no secured non-www version either.
https://ebcbrakesuk.com links to a domain name place holder. If you are who you say you are, how does your mail reach you?
Perhaps sockshop.com might have been a better bet? At least they know how to redirect properly.
Oh, and how much copper grease should I put on the back of my pads when I win them? ____________________

Well I for one certainly admire your tenacity!  |
Ditto. 'Well stuck-at' as the rugby opposition often used to say when were on the wrong end of an 80 point drubbing. ____________________ Now: A100, GT250A, XJ598, FZ750, SL1000

According to their company accounts, their average salary is £23,808.55 for FY 2019. Decent money to earn for making the rounds on some forums if it's in that ballpark. ____________________ PRESENT: 2018 BMW S1000XR SE Sport.
