Roman is celebrating its 40th anniversary with all employees at the company’s headquarters in Newton Aycliffe, County Durham.
To mark the occasion, chief executive officer, David Osborne, delivered a presentation to employees, followed by celebrations with cake for everyone.
In 1985, Roman initially started selling coloured Bath Screens to match the bath suites of the time. The product range then expanded to include Shower Enclosures and Shower Trays. Roman now operates from a 400,000 sq ft manufacturing facility, producing Shower Enclosures, Wetroom Panels and Bath Screens for all market sectors. The company also moulds Solid Surface Anti-Slip Shower Trays and Basins in-house, alongside fabricating Solid Surface bathroom structures such as Vanity Tops.
Roman employs over 200 people across the UK, with additional operations overseas. Roman Asia was established in 2013 in Malaysia and is closely linked with the specification team. It is focused on hotel projects across the Asia Pacific market, while Roman Ireland launched in 2014 as a dedicated sales and distribution hub.
David Osborne, chief executive officer at Roman, said: “Celebrating our 40th anniversary is a proud milestone for everyone at Roman. What began in 1985 with selling coloured bath screens has evolved into Roman becoming the UK and Europe’s leading shower manufacturer – with our products now specified across the globe.
“This achievement is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and passion of our entire team over the last four decades. As we look to the future, we remain committed to innovation, sustainability and continuing to manufacture world-class products here in the UK.”
