Good Directions LTD had the pleasure of working alongside a customer who wanted a bespoke and very special clock made for their home. While watching an episode of the TV show ‘Poirot’, she noticed a fabulous clock in the background of a shot and immediately thought how fantastic it would be if she had one in her own home.

These bells were 600mm diameter and because they are manufactured in GRP, they are very lightweight and easy to manoeuvre and install, without the need for extensive structural support. Furthermore, because we manufactured these in GRP, it allowed us to take a mould of an original antique bell, ensuring a life like replica was produced, including all the imperfections ...
