Dougie Lampkin's Hottest Joyride Challenge Yet: Wallwork Heat Treatment Furnaces

In a new video, twelve times Trial World Champion, Dougie Lampkin, takes on the Wallwork Group’s Manchester heat treatment plant in a thrilling two minute ride, where no obstacle is too high – or too hot! “We had seen Dougie’s work before, not least Red Bull’s F1 factory, and thought that it would be an exciting and engaging way to show a brief glimpse into the world of metal heat treatment,” explained Wallwork sales manager, Howard Maher.

Wallwork is headquartered in Bury, Greater Manchester and also has plants in Newcastle, Birmingham and Cambridge. The company provides metal heat treatment, vacuum brazing and hard coatings services to aerospace, motorsport, medical device and other precision industries. “Dougie is a high profile professional motorcycle sportsman, so this also fits nicely with our autosports market and by association other industries such as aerospace that share the same requirements,” Howard added.

Dougie’s professional career has spanned over 25 years, lifting his first trophy in 1991, collecting silverware up to 2017 and he is still looking for even more in 2018. Awarded an MBE in 2001, his autobiography, Dougie Lampkin – Trials and Error, was launched on May 17th this year.

“We are really pleased with the video and it was a pleasure opening up the works to Dougie’s special way of riding. And our health and safety guy is able to relax now it is all done! We will be running the video on our stand 2427 at the upcoming Farnborough International Airshow in July. I am sure it will pull good attention to the stand,” Howard concluded.
