dude formerly of Newbery who alledgedly handles and presses a lot of clefts for a lot of brands. He is widely regarded as one of the top 5 batmakers in the world.

Yes. He has his own mechanical press in the workshop.

The puma contract with regards to stock bats has gone to India. He still has some pros to look after. Yes he pressed the clefts for Puma. They delivered the willow with the specific models listed on the box and were cut down and ready to be handled. Rob did the rest from getting the cleft into the general shape, finished etc and even applied the stickers and toe guards. His asst now shop manager Simon used to help out as well.   

All the pro stuff is separate and dealt with as you'd expect. The clefts are kept separate as well. There's a room full of them

The pictures on the website suggest the blades are cnc'd to shape before final tweaked to weight/ pick up. You can tell because the handle is being fitted and trimmed after the profile has been shaped.   

Ps. I also make all my bats from start to finish.  The only thing that is currently outsourced is pressing. However I do have a say in how my blades are pressed.

I'm not taking about Rob, I'm on about the images on the Norfolk cricket web page.

I think it's clear to see that Rob makes his own from scratch.
