With the threat of Covid-19 now broadly in the past , and as the trading environment continues to ease , James is keen for Morland to get back on the front-foot when it comes to its product lines . Behind the scenes , the company has been busy as ever , creating new innovations to meet the needs of customers across its primary markets .
“ We ’ ve got a new stock range of fire doors with a standard set of dimensions and finishes , which enables them to be supplied within 48 hours ,” he reveals . “ That ’ s ready to go , and will be up and running shortly . We also have some new materials in the pipeline , which we ’ re due to introduce in the first quarter of 2023 .”
Looking beyond the next year , the longterm goal for Morland is to keep building its reputation and growing its reach – an ambition that is set to take the company ’ s operations further afield . “ We want to expand our business plan into Europe and see ourselves better recognized in our key sectors : marine , construction and leisure ,” James confirms . “ Hopefully , we ’ ll have brought to those markets more cost-saving , process-improving products . If we can do that , it ’ ll help us grow to where we ultimately want to be .” ■
