Recognised as one of the UK’s principal manufacturers of products for the electrical industry, Scolmore Group attributes its market-leading position to sustained reinvestment in its business infrastructure and people, to provide a solid platform for continual growth and expansion.
Having navigated the difficult trading conditions experienced across the sector over the last two years, with an uninterrupted supply of products and continued support for customers, the company is on a solid footing as it plans for future development. In a move designed to facilitate the future growth plans of the business, Scolmore is pleased to announce a number of new board appointments that have been made from within the existing team of directors.
