The Company was founded in 1968 by John in Wokingham, when his 4 children were small.
He started from home with his wife.
He moved the Company to Ascot and then to an old Rainbow firework factory in Wokingham.
Joined much later by one of his sons and a few new recruits, he engaged in machinery repairs as well as selling abrasives.
Encouraged by his success he took the risk of deciding to convert abrasive cloths into endless belts, which meant buying the machinery to do this. The machinery came from England and Europe and John built on this success.
Due to expansion the Company moved to premises in Milton where one more son and a daughter joined the team. The Company went from strength to strength supplying the woodworking trade, furniture manufacturers, engineers, metal fabricators and steel fabricators.
As well as abrasives they supply metal polishes.
As his two sons and daughter left to expand on their own, John decided to streamline his Company and now runs the business very successfully from his home in Harwell
