MANAGING DIRECTOR

Richard Woolff

Plastic and Acrylic has now been part of my DNA for 3 generations. I joined the business in 1989 and I love what I do and love that everyday, I am faced with a different challenges. Sometimes it feels like I am reinventing the wheel everyday as yesterday’s solution is often not today’s solution. I love the challenges that my clients entrust me with to solve and meeting different people from a wide range of different disciplines.

Charles has been working with acrylic since the late 1950’s. Always ready to embrace change, there is no chance of moss growing under his chair. He has steered the company through periods of plenty and periods of drought, a visionary in his field and has never shied away from trying a new technique or coming up with a new way to solve a problem.

Emmet has been a trusted member of our team for 30 years. Never is anything too big, too small, too difficult or too hard. Emmet always finds a way to solve a problem and is a vacuumforming machine operator extra-ordinaire. Always willing to go the extra mile or two if required.


Our companys' ethos

Only limited by Imagination

To be the best at what we do everyday. To be able to honestly say that we did the best we could, regardless of the outcome. Always remember that we are here only because our clients allow us to be. Forget that important fact and we might as well pack up and go home.
