Looking Back... 

Harnessing a Solar Solution to Power Our Factory

Following substantial investment, 2024 saw us embark on an exciting new initiative to harness the power of solar energy, marking a significant stride towards sustainability within our operations. Our factory roof now comprises of 1,155 solar panels, which is projected to supply approximately 40% of our annual energy needs. Using the power of the sun to provide electricity to our factory is a large step forward in reducing our carbon footprint.

Supporting Critical Projects & New Ventures

This year, we supported a substantial rollout of our Anti-Ligature dispensers for an NHS Trust’s new mental health facility, a massive testament to the trust placed in our innovative, safety-focused designs. Additionally, we’ve expanded our contact manufacturing services into new industries, reinforcing our reputation as a reliable partner across a multitude of sectors. While we can’t share specifics, we are incredibly proud to have played a role in these impactful projects, underscoring the hard work of our team and the confidence our customers have in us.

Award Nominations

Tomorrow’s Cleaning Awards

The best products and services from the professional cleaning and hygiene industry were included in the Tomorrow’s Cleaning Awards 2024, and we are thrilled to have been nominated for our leading, Behind-the-Mirror Pull-Down range – the latest addition to our Classic range of Behind-the-Mirror washroom systems.

Environment Initiative of the Year

We were awarded the Environment Initiative of the Year Award by our parent company, following the milestone of zero waste to landfill across both our, and our sister facility’s, manufacturing facilities. By converting 50 tonnes of waste into energy and recycling around 260 tonnes to create new products, we're working to ensure we make a meaningful and positive impact on the environment.

A New Addition to Our Plasma Range

There’s no doubt that brushed stainless steel will continue to remain one of the sector’s favourite finishes, but black is becoming an increasingly popular alternative for matching suites of washroom dispensers for it is widely associated with sophistication and works well with most brand identities and colourways. With more and more customers specifying black, it made sense that this year, we made it the standard colour for our seamless, stainless steel Plasma range.

Macmillan Coffee Mornings

We love a good brew, and there’s no better way to enjoy it than supporting a valuable charity such as Macmillan Cancer Support. We are thrilled that our 2024 Macmillan Coffee Morning generated the most money we have ever raised.

Supporting Schools & Careers Events

We’ve had the pleasure of supporting several schools and attending multiple careers events across the year. Talking with students about apprenticeships and work experience opportunities is always incredibly rewarding.
