With Christmas Eve upon us, here’s a little reminder of our opening hours for the festive period. We will be closed from Wednesday 24th December 12pm until 8am Monday 5th January, while our Webshop will be open as normal 24 hours day. From everyone at Rapid Welding, Rapid Marine and Rent Arc, here’s a big-with-bells-on thank you…
Have you read about J’ade, the 196ft long vessel designed by Italian company CRN, which comes complete with – amongst other things – a ‘drive in’ garage for its tender? If not, and you’re into hearing about the spending of the super wealthy, have a thing for James Bond style gadgetry, or, if you simply like to…
We were lucky enough to be sent a few action shots of our Isle of Wight Challenge hero’s, Marianne Edwards & her walking partner Chris. They completed the gruelling 35 miles in a commendable 9 hours 10 mins!!! Well done you two!
We always stand, applaud, cheer, hang out the bunting and generally go a bit mad when one of the team do something special, and this time it’s Chris Anderson’s turn to get the full on fanfare. Chris works in accounts, and has been at Rapid since May 2011. Yesterday he received the long awaited…
A HUGE Well done to Debs Knight, Nicky Green & Rapid’s own Marianne Edwards for completing the 20 mile Night to Remember Midnight Walk in 5 hours and 5 minutes, helping raise over £143000,00 for St Barnabas House.
It’s official! No, Kate and Will’s aren’t having another baby … not that I know of anyway! This is bigger, better, infinitely more exciting than that, and in my book well worth dusting off the bunting. Rapid Welding is now an agent for the UK’s leading manufacturer and supplier of alloyed welding consumables,…
Well, the Chelsea flower Show 2014 got underway in London’s Royal Hospital gardens yesterday. Attended by 157,000 visitors each year, it is probably one of the most famous venues in the world for horticultural displays and inspiration. I hear even the Queen is a fan! This year, the event is running from the 20th…
Every now and again we like to bring you something a little different that isn’t welding related, and when a member of the Rapid team gets up to something a bit special out of hours, we feel it is only right to share – with their permission, of course. This weekend, our lovely…
We were very kindly sent this picture of our stand at MACH 2014. Stephen McPartland, MP for Stevenage (second on left), accompanied by Phil Tranter, AWD National Chairman (far right), stopped by for a visit ahead of the AGM.
Life has returned to its normal hectic pace after MACH 2014. The vans have been unpacked, the blisters have healed, the aches and pains have eased. We have lots of enquires to follow up and people to contact, so all in all it was a show stopping success. The gang arrived on the Sunday to set up…
I can’t believe two whole years have past since our first exhibition at MACH – which also happened to be Rapid’s first exhibition EVER! And once more, this coming April, we’re at it again in Birmingham, only this year we’re bigger and better than ever. 2014 started with a bit of bang for the Rapid team, and if you…
The new Minarc 180 is on its way from Kemppi and should be available from Rapid by Easter. This is good news for all you welders out there who are constantly on the go, working from different and often remote locations and need a portable unit. Mains or generator power supplied, the…
Some exciting news hot off the Rapid press!

Increasing the Rapid family and group of companies…
