Steven Kimpton, Vacuum Forming Sales Manager, said that “The everyday running of a manufacturing business is challenging and in order to stay ahead in a competitive market, it was vital that we implemented a recognised QMS. New doors have opened up for us and along with the recent successful few years we are looking to grow the business into the future and continuous improvement within our business will be key.”
