Therefore, I am excited for the challenges ahead, working with the other Directors to reinforce the company for future years, ensuring we continue to deliver excellent service and products to the industry."

I am delighted to be able to contribute to the continued success of the company."
Head of Planning and Installations and now Contracts Director, Martin Perry, said: "I'm delighted to have been appointed to the Board of Directors and look forward to continuing my support of our employees, suppliers, customers, and the local community. I first joined (then Milbank Floors) in 1992 when Hollowcore production had only recently commenced, and stairs were cast outside. Much has changed over the years and I'm looking forward to being part of the future success of the business."
Established in 1947, the family-run business supplies the UK with a comprehensive range of structural precast concrete products, including Hollowcore flooring planks, Beam & Beam flooring, Insulated flooring, stairs, and specialist precast units.
