As this is Taiwan related I have asked the Admin team to move it the  Taiwan forum.

Dear Richard,

You have posted your enquiry here in the England Forum where mostly it is foreigners posting questions about moving to England from overseas and questions on other challenges that they may face such as Visas etc.

Actually one of my friends who like me hails from Plymouth (we are both surfing fanatics since the 1970's and spent our summers surfing all around Cornwall and North Devon. And I even did my thesis on the geology of the Land's End peninsula. Well, my friend is a Director of a District Council but I think his job also covers what you did, except he doesn't have an MBE. He worked at Skewjack in Sennen if you've heard of it.

OK, I happen to have lived in Taiwan for a couple of years and at one time was buying and selling heaving engineering plants (redundant iron and steel factories) and selling Taiwanese turnkey factories for producing things such as biscuits, sanitary pads etc etc.

So look, I do not know Bulldog Small Tools and I no longer have any contact with engineering firms, but what I can do is ask one of my Taiwanese friends if they could find out any information.

However, as a fan of "Wheeler Dealers", I've seen many times when they need a part and can't find it so they bring the broken part to a specialist metal working company with lots of high spec machinery and get it made there for not very much money. So that is one of my suggestions, to have the nut made locally by such a company.

Let me know what you think.

OK my friend has tried but it is actually very difficult to find this company. This is because Bulldog Small tools might just be their name for marketing but the company itself might come under a different name. Also, tools like this are very probably mostly made in China even though it may say made in Taiwan. There is of course a company called Bulldog Tools that makes garden shears etc but they are based in Essex in the UK.



My friend pointed out another company in Taiwan called Winland Garden Tools. But I guess it is a different company. You can see on their website:
