The Black Hat Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Interesting development and congrats to Accurascale on being able to have someone with such experience. I only hope that Accurascale don't start doing engines, "Of limited geographical coverage and livery variation." 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, this is an Accurascale topic so it's even more annoying to see the repetition of misinformation. Yes but that's nothing I'm interested in!...the stuff he does like probably comes out every few years so yeah he's technically right when applied to individual wants Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted October 5, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 5, 2020 Is this some sort of organised strategy to kill off the competition by taking their top men? First Hornby, now Bachmann. I can see where this is going. Simon Kohler will be next haha. In all seriousness though, great news for Accurascale. Some of Bachmanns best models came in under Graham’s watch. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfect Paul Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Accurascale are going from strength to strength regarding recruitment, and having Graham coming on board is a great addition to an already formidable team. Over the years, I have always found Graham to be very approachable and insightful. I'm sure he will fit straight in to the team, alongside Fran, Gareth and Paul who are proving to be equally as approachable. Now they just need to sign up Dennis Lovett of ex Bachmann fame ???

dogbox321 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Nothing personal, but I don't think they need Dennis. He's at Shildon and assisting them and at Bachmann/Virgin did PR. Fran and the team do very well themselves with regards Communications, Internet and Publicity. So why? No point trying to fix things that are not broke! Likewise, whilst some additions are inevitable to go along with their success - adding just adding for the "sake" adds fixed costs to the business. By the looks of it, those recruited and their experiences should compliment and strengthen the Accurascale team exceptionally well - Graham's consulting role fits nicely for guiding the business with his vast knowledge and experience, combined with second to none experience relating to importing and China supplier relationships, Gareth has masterful knowledge of modern stock and has experience in the model industry, websites plus railway journalism and Paul compliments the team with his model projects and surveying skills (plus I believe an interest in slightly earlier railways). I think that is an exceptional portfolio -Talk about having your cake and eating it! Best Wishes, C. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
