a history that dates back to 1873

Paul Sculthorpe MBE, one of
the most famous and distinguished
players in recent times for the Saints
and former captain was also on
hand to meet Leon Day, managing

established reputation in the area
and the opportunity to support the
local rugby league team has gone
down well within the workforce.

of Universal Arches commented:
“It’s great to be able to support
the St Helens Rugby League Club
pitch side, which is on full view
for our workforce to see either at
the ground or on the television.

area as is our workforce who
have helped shaped the company
into the overwhelmingly strong
position we have today.”

has earned the company a place on Insight
Data’s Top 30 Fabricators by turnover.

fabricators in the UK amassed sales of almost
£1 billion in 2014, rising 6% compared to
2013, to £971.8 million. The individual
turnover needed to make the top 30 has also
increased, from £10.9m in 2013 to £12.3m
last year.

new entries in the top 30, ranking 27th out of
1,534 PVCu manufacturers.

joint owner and managing director: “To put
things into perspective, it’s worth mentioning
that this achievement is based on the unique
partnership between a fabricator and a
network of less than 30 retail installers.

opportune times to make sure that our
network members are among the first to
capitalise on emerging trends.” commented
