Hugo,

I do happen to know a bit about this sort of thing. I know a guy in HK
that owns a tool maker and mold shop in China. I have had a few
products that I have designed made by him, and he is very good. If you
have asked UK based companies this question, I expect you may see a
delay as they are all at a show in Telford this week [1]. The guy in
HK will probable be a lot cheaper, and also quicker with the tooling.
The part prices may be a bit higher to account for the shipping.

Let me know if you want his details off list.

Regards,
