The tour will give you access to our prolific stores and despatch Areas, so you can see how we ship our goods worldwide. You will get a chance to walk through our cutting, sewing, welding and trimming areas and see our skilled craftsmen and women in action and ask all sorts of technical questions. You will also be given access to our research and development factory, where new and old products are continually developed and tested.

This tour has given people in the past an opportunity to see why Newton Commercial has developed into the best trimmer of its kind in the world. We have always kept to the original designs, patterns and materials and you will see why the manufacturing process is so fascinating . You can ask questions on custom trimming, tricks to the trade and our trim shop where we refurbish the cars in house.

Apart from supplying trim for the above marques, Newton Commercial is a major supplier of trim for MGB, MGA, Midget and Triumph to the trade worldwide. Although we do not supply these products directly to the public, you can purchase these items at the end of the tour. You will then have an opportunity to have a question and answer session, over coffee, with Richard or Vera Newton, our owners and a chance to buy all our trim parts at a discounted rate.
