It’s great!” Geoff explains how operating as an independent manufacturer has had it’s challenges but Freefoam continues to prosper year on year and he sees the a positive future.
Colin St John, Commercial Director, summarized “People have always been at the heart of everything we do at Freefoam. Our success is based on surrounding ourselves with good people, and Geoff is amongst the best in his field. Working with his teams to move our mixing facilities from Stockport to a brand new multi-million pound mixing plant in Northampton was a complex and extremely challenging project and highlighted Geoff’s skills and expertise. This development has given us control of our entire process facility which has without doubt helped us grow and support our customers.”
