A Management Buy-Out completed in 2008, led by Keith Hanson,
brought the company back from multinational into private
ownership.
The new business has the advantage of over 100
years of experience shared by fellow Directors,
Steve Catchpole (Operations), Craig Morgan (Technical) and Kevin
Russon (Finance).
