Opening Kent’s ‘Gateway to Europe’


It’s that time again when we digest the closing year (along with the turkey) and consider resolutions to enhance the business year ahead. Sinclair and Rush is no different and there will be much to share with you over the coming months. 2014 is going to be great for this ambitious plastics manufacturer.

Last month S&R’s MD, Peter Boulton, joined other Kentish businesses at the UK Trade & Investment’s South East initiative to help Kent manufacturers broaden their horizons beyond the Channel. Of course the concept is nothing new to Sinclair & Rush UK and Europe who already have a positive and expansive presence in continental Europe. Well, it’s only natural for an international company to have realistic international presence.


“Economic research consistently shows companies who export to any country, in any financial climate, perform better than those who don’t” said Lewis Scott, regional Director at UKTI South East, at events held in Maidstone in November.

Latest HMRC statistics reveal that the South East continues to be the biggest regional exporter, with the total value of exports for the first half of the 2013 from the region alone amounting to some £22.6 billion.


As part of its ongoing policy for growth, S&R are actively seeking sales and customer service representation across Europe. Linguistically, operationally, logistically – the skills and resources are already in place to facilitate enquiries and plastics solution to industry wherever they may be.

European Partners are invited to introduce their operational experience and business credentials, BUT, it is vital that they understand and share the strong corporate ethos that Sinclair & Rush stand by
 
“We manufacture and supply a wide variety of plastic mouldings
that protect, package and finish the products that our customers' make
so that they get to deliver a top quality product every time.
We are known for always striving to deliver great customer service.
Our mission is to leave our staff and customers feeling respected & valued.”

“We’re ready, in fact we have been ready for a long time and the time is right to get out there and do something about it” said Peter Boulton. “We couldn’t be better placed in Maidstone to take advantage of the rail and road links to Europe. And we couldn’t be better prepared for growth with our manufacturing resources and skills. River Medway traders have been thinking outside of the UK box for centuries. It’s time we took advantage of the opportunities our forebears opened for us, even before Turner painted this Medway scene from Rochester in 1822.”





Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
