Successful rotational moulding company adds wealth of expertise to its board

April 26, 2012 - PRLog -- Joining Orchid Plastics’ Managing Director, Paul Fairhurst, to the board is Geoff Stockley as Sales Director, Mark Stanley as Financial Director and Chris Sellars as Commercial Director. The company has appointed the three experienced board members to handle the increasing customer demand, to develop the business, and to add expertise in the areas of sales and finance.

Chris Sellars and Mark Stanley join Orchid Plastics on a part-time basis from business consultancy service Mackenzie Spencer. Chris says, “We started working with Paul towards the end of last year, helping him look at ways to reorganise and restructure the finance of the business. Orchid Plastics is already a very successful business, with a great range of products that means it can easily trade internationally. We are excited about the potential global growth of its products and in addition we will be looking at business acquisitions in the sector over the next couple of years to broaden the service offering to the company’s customers.”

Paul Fairhurst, who has been in the rotational moulding business for 21 years, adds, “We are delighted with the new team on the board. This is a very exciting time for the business, we have a lot of great new developments planned and several large projects are underway. The long term goal is to secure our relationship with our key customers and to optimise production to build security for growth. Working with customers old and new, our aim is to provide excellent service and high quality products delivered on time at realistic prices.”

Geoff Stockley, Orchid Plastics’ new Sales Director, is no stranger to the rotational mouldings industry, having worked at two leading manufacturers in the past. He explains, “The opportunity to get back into an industry that I know so well is one that I could not turn down, particularly with potential that Orchid Plastics’ has. It’s hugely beneficial that I already understand the process, which means I can really hit the ground running. I am delighted to be part of such a strong team, and I am relishing the opportunity to play my part in ensuring Orchid Plastics’ potential is fulfilled.”

One of the leading companies in the production and design of high quality plastic rotational moulding and polyurethane foam filling, Orchid Plastics took on the manufacture of the Fairhurst Marine Navigation Buoy Range, which has previously been supplied to Trinity House, the MOD and many other large international organisations.
