I've got a customer who wants to get a quantity (500 or so) of high-tech ice buckets made from a series of drawings and a prototype which was made in Eastern Europe.
The ice bucket is made of stainless steel and has an integrated freezer unit and power supply, also led lighting (to light up the ice)

As this is not really my field, is there anyone out there who can help me find a subcontractor ?

Couldn't he get them made by the same place that made the prototype ? I can't imagine anyone over here could build them as cheap as eastern europe.

My god, can't believe I said that, but it's fact

But that's not what you asked, so I would suggest finding a good stainless fabrication company, for the bucket.

You may have to look for a large fridge contractor as opposed to a manufacturer to finish the build.

If you want me to ask my fridge wholesaler, about who still manufactuers in the UK, or may be able to suggest someone, let me know.
