Fisher Sportcars/Fury sold

Postby jeffw » Thu Jan 06, 2011 12:29 pm

BGH Geartech have sold the Fury to a new company Fury Sports Cars which is being run by Steve Hughes. Steve has previously worked on the Fury with Mark Fisher & at BGH with Brian & Chris. I'm expecting great things from Steve having listened to some of his plans. Good luck with the new venture Steve :)

Based at the (ex) BGH premises while BGH return to their previous location.

Wish him all the best -- and sincerely hope he has the finance lined up; this is definitely not a great time for getting money.

All the best to Steve. I'd agree with Lee that he's a top blke from all my dealings with him.

Talking to Steve today he has many plans and has already got the body moulds back in-house, the chassis jigs as well. All the parts are now going to be made either on the premises or very close by.

There is also talk of a new body....watch this space.

BGH on the other hand are concentrating on the Gearbox side with Chris and Brian. Hopefully there will be developments including a aluminium English Axle (including snub) which should save 5-8Kg on my car :). Good luck to Brian and Chris as well.

Best wishes to Steve & the Fury.

I have no doubt that Steve will make the Fury a success again!

Good luck with this Steve , I'm convinvced that keeping the chassis in house is better for business and for fast adaptability/improvements , especially when sales ' may ' be low. Do we know whether Steve reads this forum :?:

I think he is a bit busy to be read this. Be interesting to see where he goes with it, he is very aware of the need to deliver promptly hence the reason for being in control of the moulds and jigs. He might not actually do the work himself but it will be done on his premises or very local. He'll not have to troop round the country for his bodyshells as a per instance. I wish him good luck and hopefully he is at a stage quickly to take people on which will leave him more time to deal with customers and development.

Had a bit of trouble trying to order an aeroscreen and colour swatch.. Told a couple of times it was being sorted (by someone else, not steve) then nothing happened. Probably because of it being sold. Anyway, spoke to steve late last week and it was done and in the post Monday afternoon. Very good, promising.
