JH-PRECISION-ENG.CO.UK - Key Persons

John Hewett Precision Engineering Limited started business early in 2015 but the seed for this business actually started some 38 years earlier, when John was given a small metal lathe for his 8th birthday. On this lathe John's father taught him how to make double headed coins, with no Digital Read Out or modern equipment this was extremely difficult and required dedication and skill. John went to college and studied for an OND in engineering before starting work in the Cambridge high tech industry at Cambridge Consultants. He was extremely fortunate that Cambridge Consultants invested a lot of time and money to train John in the design office and then later the workshop, which is where John stayed for many years as a skilled manufacturer of one off high tech engineering products. In particular John has always loved manufacturing very small parts and typically medical devices, due to their complexity and miniaturisation. John continued to be excited by the academic side of engineering too and studied part time for HNC's and HND's in electronic and mechanical engineering, before qualifying for an honours degree in Engineering.
