Active chassis builders

I thought it might be interesting to make a list of active sidecar chassis constructors.
This list is clearly non exhaustive, and I will surely make errors, but I thought it could be an interesting reference. So feel free to add/correct me.
My idea is to list who, where, and what type of chassis (F1/F2/Classic/Rally/BEARS/Other).
So to kick off-
LCR- England- F1/F2
Adolf RS- Germany- F1
RCN- Holland F1
DDM- England- F2
Ryde- England- F1/F2
Bellas- England- F2/Classic(?)
GLR- England- F2
Heys- England- F2/Classic
CES- England- F1/F2/Classic
MRE- France- F2/Classic
Lumley- England- F2/Classic
SGR- France- F2
BRS- France- Classic

Cheers guys
Steve, I already have Dean on the list
Eckart, is Tony still building new bikes (honest question) ?
And what is Colin Nicholson making ? Classic chassis ?

MRE now in France, seems to be mostly new classics and restorations lately, but I think he may be building himself a new pre-injection bike.
Lumley Engineering in England, AFAIK F2 recently
DMR in IOM, AFAIK F2 recently

Also BLR in England, is he still actively building classics & F2s? (BLR from Scandanavia that built F1s is defunct AFAIK)

Hi, I already have Mike Richards, and while mainly doing classics he is open to build F2s.
I'll add Lumley, for both classic and F2, I forgot him at the start.
As for Moly, I don't think he is building customer bikes? My idea is a list of who is out there building customer chassis.

Rod Bellas makes a very good chassis and I don't think Tony Baker is building new outfits any longer but I may be wrong

Yes Joe Heys is still building and repairing chassis at very reasonable prices. He's building himself a new one as we speak.
