Precision Technologies

Acquisition in 2013
P.T.I. Limited started life in the 1960's as a specialist toolmaker supplying Birmingham's Automotive market. Always being based in Tamworth at the heart of the U.K.'s manufacturing region PTI moved to its current premises in 1985 and saw rapid expansion. Master Gears and Spline Gauge production was started in 1987 and in 1990 a fully accredited UKAS laboratory was installed. The early 90's saw P.T.I. move into the Aerospace market by offering a high accuracy service with a short lead time. Shortly after the diversification into aerospace PTI were contacted by one of the country's leading Formula 1 engine manufacturers to produce high precision timing gears. There then followed a lengthy relationship with this customer and involvement with many other teams which now sees motor sport as one of the largest areas of its business. In 2001 P.T.I. moved into the oil and gas business supplying specialist thread gauges and in 2005 gained API (American Petroleum Institute) accreditation. Precision Technologies International Limited (P.T.I.) is a specialist component, tool and gauge manufacturer. High precision components are manufactured for a number of industries, the largest sector being in motor sport and aerospace markets. Parts are produced to very tight limits including transmission components, engine gears, pump parts and drive shafts.

Specialist Tours

Acquisition in 2013
Specialist Tours is a niche multi-brand tour operator. The Specialist Journeys Group is a collection of some of world’s finest niche tour operators. As a group, we are determined to maintain the uniqueness of each of our brands. I tend to think of Specialist Journeys not as a single business, but as a ‘family’ of tour operators. As with all families, each individual member (or company in this case) has it’s own unique oddities, brilliance and quirks. Travelling with Arblaster and Clarke to Champagne, you will have a very different experience to those exploring Monet’s Gardens with Brightwater Holidays, or poking around ancient Paris with Andante Travels. For all their differences however, every Specialist Journeys company does share an ethos – an aspiration – to provide truly unique and magical holidays for our customers. The ‘special’ in Specialist Journeys comes when you lie on the floor of an empty Sistine Chapel – staring up at Michelangelo’s creation. Or when you enjoy a private tour of Prince Charles’ garden at Highgrove. Or when you spot a silver back gorilla, having trekked for hours in the forests of Uganda. If you are interested in going on one of trips please do click through to the individual websites or contact our helpful and knowledgeable sales teams. If you are interested in working for us, click through to our recruitment pages. And if you are a niche tour operator who is interested in becoming a member of the Group, then do get in touch with myself at the email address below. With best wishes for happy travels,
