@Dylan_Difford @Beyond_Topline Is there anything we could look to internationally for further examples? (but those seem to be quite prescient examples!)

There is a reason than aero-engine manufacturers moved to the ‘power-by-hour’ model as opposed to just selling the engines
@DavidsonMagnus Cheers Ta. TOTEX?
Supporting O&M can be a very good way of building up competencies and capabilities to support manufacturing. Turbines will always (eventually) need replacing.
@aidanskinner@StephenWatt_ Tbf (farmers stepson talking) that’s not necessarily the final consumer price however.
Also, they are different VAT rates on some staples or am I making that up?
