Growth trajectory
Turning to the product itself , Gareth continues : “ Our mats are made from a dense , durable timber from West Africa , and we pride ourselves on offering the strongest , longest lasting mats in the market . Our competitors ’ products are nowhere near our standards , and we are currently the only company in the UK that can import and supply these mats .
“ Last year , we supplied mats for one of the largest cranes in the UK to sit on , and another of the UK ’ s largest cranes is currently sat on our mats down in Hinckley Point . Due to holding stock , we can also supply mats in urgent situations . We supported Ainscough Cranes at Liverpool Football Club , for instance , with the refurbishment and expansion of the Anfield Road stand by successfully supplying them with mats at short notice .”
Having reached this position , we ’ re keen to hear what ’ s next for GJ Mats . “ Our biggest investment is yet to come , as we have plans in place for a brand-new facility ,” Gareth reveals . “ We ’ ve just purchased a secure six-acre site in mid Wales and we ’ re now waiting for our plans to be approved by the National Parks . If all goes well , the complex will include in-house mat washing facilities ,
