[Music]
0:12
hey up and welcome to the channel today
0:15
we're down Pool Road in Sheffield having
0:17
a look at this place PNB Metal
0:20
Components Limited
0:23
and they have over 60 years of
0:24
experience designing and manufacturing
0:27
highquality precision engineered
0:28
components to your exact requirements
0:31
pmbb supply global OEMs
0:33
electromechanical contact assemblies for
0:37
critical applications
0:39
they are one of the most versatile
0:41
contact assembly manufacturers with a
0:43
global market of over 200 customers
0:44
across 30 countries and manufacturing
0:47
sites located conveniently in Asia and
0:49
Europe they are confident they have the
0:52
right contacting solution for your needs
0:57
so that's what it says on the website
1:01
so I'll have a look around from the
1:03
outside
1:04
and potentially fly the drone over if
1:07
the airspace is clear
1:11
so that's what we'll do now we'll have a
1:12
look around
1:14
do some videoing
1:20
just need to find the camera
1:24
there we go
1:28
so that down there is a private road
1:31
for P&B components it's private parking
1:34
for visitors and contractors but it's
1:36
open to cycles so you're okay to walk
1:38
down it there is a public right of way
1:46
so we've got signage here for your
1:49
deliveries and reception to your right
1:54
there's a public footpath going down
1:56
there as well so that is where you go
1:57
down for your deliveries down there to
2:00
the back of the building
2:03
so we go back to the front
2:06
do some videoing from there on the
2:07
handheld
2:10
have a look down the bottom end whether
2:12
I think there is a pedestrian gate from
2:14
what I can see
2:20
and uh fly the drone as I said if the
2:22
airspace is clear
2:35
so there's your big signage p&b metal
2:38
components
2:41
you have got all your offices upstairs
2:44
you have got a couple of flags flying
2:49
i think goes all the way down there
2:51
right so we'll take the camera down and
2:53
push the bike up
2:56
it's not just left
3:01
and have a look of what's down here
3:07
they've got cameras on every corner of
3:09
the building which is nice to see
3:13
they've got Sheffield City Council signs
3:15
down this road
3:18
there was a lady just looking out of a
3:20
window
3:22
taking a photograph on her phone
3:26
part of the bike here
3:33
they got more offices upstairs and your
3:36
main reception is in there you can just
3:37
see it on the glass door
3:40
and they have got security guards on
3:41
patrol
3:58
and they've got smart bombs in operation
4:01
on the site
4:13
it's protected by IPM Group
4:16
there was some more car parking down
4:18
there and all deliveries
4:21
with the exception of Buck need to go to
4:23
the rear entrance so I think B can come
4:26
through here because they've got a gas
4:28
canister just parked up there
4:34
so that's what's that's what we can see
4:36
down there
4:38
so I'll head back to the front
4:41
where I started the video
4:44
and uh
4:46
put the drone up after checking on drone
4:49
assist
4:58
hey
5:00
I just thought you were taking photo my
5:02
gate oh yeah i'm just making a little
5:03
video on company oh is that that's all
5:05
it is so what's that for social media oh

5:21
a little video on it all right take some
5:23
footage from the outside and then give a
5:24
little sight tour on a drone over the
5:26
top all right so uh is that just sort of
5:29
buildings or businesses that you like

5:39
of stuff i've not been down there really
5:40

5:42
like places that where they do something
5:44
that's a bit different and uh
5:46
interesting all right is there anything
5:47
you can tell me about the company like
5:50
uh
5:52
they sort of make small metal components
5:54

5:57
there's a joke uh you know they say
5:59
you're never more than sort of 10 m from
6:01
a rat yeah yeah you're never more than
6:02
10 m from one of our components there'll
6:05
be some in the cars electrical items you
6:07

6:10
basically anything that's got a plug you
6:12
may find some of our We make the
6:14
contacts yes so I looked on the website
6:16
and did a bit of a read off there yeah
6:18
seen some of the small sort of the
6:20
contact solutions that you do and things
6:21
like that yeah that sort of thing it's
6:23
mainly sort of tooling you know presses
6:25
banging them out uh sort of thing i'm
6:28
the health and safety manager just saw
6:30
you looking and we've just had a not
6:33
recently we've had a few breakins and
6:34
told security and I just wonder why
6:36
somebody was outside taking videos i
6:38
thought the like been some issues with
6:40
all the razor wire on some of the fences
6:41
yeah they've been hit as well uh we tend
6:44
to get tend to get professional guys
6:45
that come in wagons and push the gates
6:47
through and Yeah well well I'm not here
6:49
for anything any of that so I'm not I'm
6:51
not going to push the G push bike are
6:53
they i like it don't look dodgy well you
6:55
never know so how could I then ask him
6:57
but no no but well I'll have a look at
6:59
that uh yeah so what's what would you
7:01
say is the most interesting thing about
7:03
working here then
7:10
it's mainly a sort of
7:12
there's not loads of varants most
7:15
interesting uh
7:19
it's it's it's a great I' I'd say if
7:22
you're going to put something up it's a
7:23
great family company uh it started in
7:26
Witstable in Kent all right they moved
7:29
up here about 2000 I believe i've only
7:33
been here three years uh and then they
7:35
moved all the production over here as
7:38
well i mean you've probably seen on the
7:40
website they won a Greens award and
7:41
things for export i didn't see that so
7:44
well I did see they've got facilities in
7:46
Europe and Asia the great thing is it
7:48
was uh June Brown who's the um
7:52
June June Bushel who's the the owner
7:55
it's like it's not a sort of an it's an
7:57
owned company it was her it was her
8:00
husband and son that used to run it but
8:01
she she lost her son 22 when I joined he
8:06
just passed on and she lost her husband
8:08
prior to that so it's quite unusual you
8:11
may find some stuff on LinkedIn
8:13
pmp you'll see a picture of June uh
8:16
she's about 90 odd year old she's as
8:19
sharp as a tech still comes down chats
8:22
to myself oh you're doing a good job and
8:24
oh brilliant she'll look at the scrap oh
8:26
what you doing with all my make a joke
8:28
that's all my money you know it's it's
8:31
run she's still in sort of total control
8:33
of the business that's amazing i find
8:35
that sort of quite interesting cuz
8:37
that's unusual this day and age yeah
8:39
yeah you know as her husband started the
8:40
business her son sort of then ran it
8:42
she'd lost them both but she's kept the
8:44
business in the family um that's nice to
8:47
hear so it also sounds precious and base
8:49
metals P&B but also Paul Bushell as well
8:52
that was his name uh but I find actually
8:55
I like the the family aspect of the
8:57
company cuz it's g thing now with all
8:59
the sort of Yeah on the old big comfort
9:02
and things yeah i prefer smaller
9:04
companies to work for uh be agreed but
9:06
yeah it's a nice little place you know
9:08
look after it all and what have you so
9:10
yeah so I've just got to um with the
9:12
drone all I do is just do like a site
9:14
from the outside yeah so obviously I
9:16
need to keep the drone in sight and then
9:18
I'll I'll pull I'll pull it back and
9:19
take a and just take a big photo with it
9:21
and upload it onto Google Maps right so
9:24
it's just a nice up to-ate image as well
9:26
in about a week yeah it should be
9:28
brilliant nice chat to you man thank you
9:30
see you later
9:35
nice plate and gentlemen absolutely fine
9:40
just wondered what we're doing explained
9:45
very polite so I don't mind start
9:47
chatting
9:50
so
9:52
I'm just going to park the bike up here
9:55
check on drone assist
9:58
and if the airspace is clear it is time
10:01
to check it to the skies
10:06
home point updated there are no flight
10:09
restrictions on drone assist just a
10:11
yellow warning zone for met balloon
10:14
releases
10:16
so there is your signage on the front
10:20
we'll go down and have a look at the
10:22
delivery area
10:32
it's a little bit windy
10:42
there is your delivery yard
10:50
it's got some storage we'll go up a
10:52
little bit higher
10:54
so I can keep line of sight over the
10:56
building
10:59
that could be the scrub that he was
11:00
talking about
11:02
if these do get broken into it's a
11:04
professional outfit normally with lovers
11:06
that push the gates through
11:12
so we got a bit of a car park
11:18
we got no HV on the road there
11:35
and I think that is the gate there where
11:38
we walked up with the B canisters
11:42
it is
11:52
i've got no solos on the roof
11:59
so is that an electric charger or is it
12:03
something for the gate
12:09
i think it's something to do with the
12:11
gate area
12:15
we'll come back around the front
12:28
reception is just in that little area
12:31
there just behind that tree
12:33
i see the wind knocking the drone about
12:35
a little bit
12:37
there's your flags flying don't know
12:40
what's meant to be on the middle one
12:44
right so I'm going to bring the drone
12:45
down a bit lower now
12:52
is gusting a little bit
12:56
i'll pull the drone back and take a
12:58
picture for Google Maps
13:12
and there's your picture for PMBB
13:18
metal components
13:24
nope another little picture we have got
13:26
another guy looking out the window
13:30
drop it down a bit so maybe see him on
13:31
the drone
13:37
just in there
13:39
i'm not going to look through the
13:40
windows and get too close to the
13:41
building
13:54
i don't know if you can see
14:00
just uh in there
14:04
[Music]
14:06
so I don't think he's got an issue he's
14:07
not come out anything
14:24
landing
14:35
right so he's still having a good look
14:37
out the window
14:41
but he's not coming out just still
14:42
looking
14:44
i might give him a wave in a second
15:02
right so I realized I was I could see
15:04
him give him a wave and he's just gone
15:06
to sit back down at his desk i think he
15:09
must have been there about 3 4 minutes
15:20
[Music]
15:31
acknowledge him and he's gone back to
15:33
work so he can crack on
15:36
right
15:38
I think that could be that video
15:40
finished here i think anybody else is
15:43
going to come out and chat we spoke to
15:44
health and safety manager fantastic
15:47
attitude of members of the public
15:48
sharing an interest some nice
15:50
information off him
15:53
right so we'll end that there then and
15:55
we will see you in the next one
