Founded in Nottingham nearly eight decades ago, the company has an enviable reputation for export success, leveraging best-in-class in-house expertise and a UK-centric specialist supply chain to deliver innovative products recognised worldwide for their utility, reliability, and relevance.
‘The Copley team is delighted with this win,’ said Mr Jamie Clayton, CEO, Copley ‘which is a tribute to sustained hard work by every member of the company. We’re a third generation, family-owned business, proud of our roots in the region. Our success is predicated on enduring values, notably a commitment to excellence, and though we’ve grown over the years, we retain the very best attributes of a small company: agility, creativity, and personalised dedication to customers.
