New Premises for Grommets HQ allowing for exciting Expansion

We are excited to finally start work on our new despatch and offices premises in the next month. This follows extensive discussions with out architect and constructors to ensure the building satisfies all current regulations and standards. A lot of work has gone in behind the scenes to get to this stage.

The new building will house our despatch and stock department, together with our offices for all the sales, admin and accounts team. This will allow for more room in our existing premises for expansion of our factory and workshop.

We are looking forward to the new build commencing. Watch this space!

Repairs to one of our Heated Mould Press Machines

Repairs to one of our Heated Mould Press Machines

Occasionally our trustworthy machines require some TLC and that is exactly what Maydean Ltd were able to do for one of our heated moulded presses that had a significant crack.

The Maydean team worked their magic and built a new top for Press 6 to replace the old cracked one and we are pleased to say our Press is now up and running again.

Many thanks to Maydean.
