Dilligence opens up a world of business for Baylis - In the summer of 1981, the now Lord Tebbit offered some encouragement to those who were suddenly jobless, based on his own father’s experience of hardship in the depression of the 1930s. “He got on his bike and looked for work, and he went on looking until he found it,” he said. In the summer of 2005 Smethwick automotive pressings company Baylis Automotive responded in much the same way to the collapse of MG Rover. Now business is booming. This year they are looking at a turnover of more than £7million – up from under £3million in 2005-2006.
