Hi, I saw Asad when he was there, didn't get chance to talk as I could see he was busy sorting his order with other GN staff. The Head maker has choice of whats made but can move the work amogst the other makers.
As far as making goes speed depends on what is being ordered, if we are making stock numbers we can make quicker then if we are doing individual orders.
There is a just a large amount of us all over the world to keep up with the demands of the retail buisness. Hand making is hard work, and the demands on us are steep, but we manage.
