What were you doing in 2003? Finding Nemo was released in the cinema, the Congestion charge introduced in London, Concorde made its last commercial flight, and, in August, Britain basked in a heatwave; with temperatures reaching 37.9C (100.2F). The most noteworthy event of 2003 however was the birth of Allendale, on 16th April. We celebrated our 15th Anniversary by getting the UK team together to mark the occasion at our HQ in Hoddesdon.

We'd like to thank all our customers for your continued support over the years and we look forward to providing you with many more years of excellent customer product support and an ever extending range of products to suit hobbyists to industrialists. In the words of our founder, Alan Ward: "Onwards and Upwards".

We are delighted to announce the launch of our new range of Engineers Packs.
