Boris Johnson Conservative MP for Henley and London Mayoral candidate visited Ormiston Wire Ltd on Thursday 10 April 2008 as part of his election campaign. He visited Ormiston as he wanted to meet a family firm, a manufacturer as well as a company which leads in Green issues. Ormiston, of course, are all of these. He had a tour of our offices and factory and met our staff. He was very impressed with the range of wires produced, he especially liked the flexibility of our 1 x 7 stainless steel seizing wire (See what he is holding).
He is shown with Mark Ormiston, Managing Director and Chitra Puri, General Manager.
