20-Minute Quotes & Six Workshop Expansions: G23 Engineering’s Fast Growth with PSL Datatrack


Monday 12 January 2026, 1:00:00 PM


Running a subcontract precision engineering business takes more than machines – it takes control, clarity and the right systems.

In this MTDCNC Podcast, host Tom Skubala sits down with Geoff Gartland, Managing Director of PSL Datatrack, and Adam Green, owner of G23 Engineering Limited, to revisit a 10-year journey from an £11k cowshed startup to a thriving machine shop.

Adam shares how he:

  • Sold everything to buy his first machine and worked long hours in a farm unit
  • Grew G23 from chaos to control, expanding six times in ten years
  • Won more work by sending fast, accurate quotes in just 20–30 minutes – often beating competitors who took days

PSL Datatrack’s production control software helped G23:

  • Streamline quoting, works orders and CNC shop scheduling
  • Achieve full ISO 9001 traceability with documents, inspections and job tracking all in one system
  • Grow with modular ERP and MRP software designed specifically for subcontract precision engineers
  • Standardise processes so the team can pick up the system quickly and keep the shop moving

Adam calls PSL Datatrack a gamechanger: simple, powerful and built for engineers – helping G23 present themselves as a larger, professional operation while freeing Adam to focus on running the business.

Whether you’re starting out with one machine or managing a busy CNC shop, this conversation shows why PSL Datatrack is trusted across the UK to automate manufacturing processes, control production and manage growth from quotation to invoice.
