Meet The Team

We are proud of the longevity of our customer relationships and the person who gave us our very first order in 1983 is still a client today. No matter how large or small your enquiry we will respond promptly, enabling you to quote your customer as soon as possible. If you require technical advice we are happy to provide this and often work in partnership with our clients and their end-users to ensure peace of mind the right finish for the right application is built into the design stage.
