50 years of trading is an impressive milestone and specialist manufacturer and installer of resin systems, Conren Limited, proudly celebrate this achievement in September 2021.
Founded back in 1971, to service the needs of the automotive industry with a range of epoxy resin floor coatings, Conren quickly established a reputation for quality long lasting protective systems and has developed into one of the U.K.’s foremost providers of surfacing solutions.
Focusing on high performance products for a wide range of industries in the construction and refurbishment sectors, the product range further expanded over the years by introducing innovative solutions for waterproofing, safety play surfacing and high friction anti-skid for highways.
Conren has continued to develop and manufacture pioneering products by working closely with their clients to understand the needs of their specific environments. With the focus on hygiene and safety this includes tailored finishes for floors such as anti-slip, anti-static, safety demarcation, high temperature resistance and impact resistant surfacing.
Working with Blue Chip Clients, Main Contractors, Architects and developers, the skill and experience of Conren’s installation team is pivotal in producing the project results to time and budget, which has given Conren its excellent reputation in the industry.
Conren’s Managing Director, Ann Collins explained:
“It is such an achievement to reach the 50th year of trading. I think that it is perhaps all so much more poignant after working throughout the COVID pandemic and facing the daily challenges during this unprecedented time. The fact that we were able to work safely and continue to supply our customers is down to the dedication of a fantastic team of people.
“Without our loyal customers we would not have the success of 50 years’ trading and we are extremely grateful for their continued support. We do pride ourselves on the high level of repeat business we have with our contract installation service.”
“In addition, we have developed and supplied products by collaborating closely with our clients over the years, so many of whom have been on this journey with us. Being involved with many prestigious projects and customers over the last 50 years, such as Stonehenge, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, JCB, Ifor Williams, Royal Mail, Shell, McCain’s, to mention just a few.”
“We have always had a very strong export market and are delighted that our approved agents and distributors have worked with us in areas such as the Far East, Middle East, South East Asia, Algeria and in a total of over 30 countries”.
“We are also an experienced ‘toll manufacturer’ of own label products for clients but some exciting developments into new fields of specialist finishes are on the horizon, which will further expand our portfolio of products at the production plant in Derbyshire”.
“The fundamental key to achieving success and reaching this 50 year anniversary is the Conren staff, past and present. For example, our longest currently serving employee, Contracts Manager Paul Stansbie reached an impressive 40 years with the Company in October 2020. Paul remembers Conren in its’ founding years! It is a theme at Conren, our Staff go the extra mile, with many of whom having spent more than half their working lives with the Company. We are extremely lucky to have this level of experience and dedication, with this experience and knowledge being such a unique benefit to our clients. This level of commitment shows how passionate we all are and how we put our customers’ needs at the forefront of our business ethos”.
