About Frank Dudley

Frank started his business from the family garden shed. Using his experience in the toolmaking industry, he and members of his family worked hard to build a business dedicated to quality, customer satisfaction and building a better future for all involved.

Frank is sadly no longer with us in body, but he is still very much with us in spirit.

Without Frank's pioneering attitude, respect and appreciation for employees and customers alike, we would not be where we are today. His philosophy lives on, and is part of everything we do, from fulfilling customer needs to developing our teams and delivering the highest standard of quality.
