has enabled us to take full control of the
product we are making . The investment in new molds and the innovation in the new slate effect range has hopefully told our customers we are serious about the shower tray market with ambition . Our research and development activities are constantly ongoing , and we are excited about Traymate and its future , more so as consumer habits change more to showering from bathing .”
Robust relationships
As our conversation ends , David reflects on Trojan ’ s upcoming 50th anniversary , as well as sharing his thoughts for the future . “ Our customers , suppliers , and employees are the three important cornerstones of our business ,” he shares . “ We ’ re very fortunate to have loyal customers and suppliers , many of whom we ’ ve grown alongside . While we inevitably interact with new suppliers , we have a robust
supply base and long-term relationships with many of them . Our employees are also crucial , and we ’ re lucky to have around 36 employees with over 20 years ’ service and 87 with over ten year ’ s . This means our workforce understands the business , the products they are making and the service we strive to deliver to our customers .
“ We take nothing for granted , so our mission is simply to survive ,” David concludes . “ We ’ ve seen quality competitors and customers disappear from the market over the last 50 years , and I ’ ve seen tremendous change during the 22 years I ’ ve been with Trojan . As
a business , we work hard and strive to ensure our three key pillars remain at the core of everything we do . The fourth pillar is of course sheer hard work and dogged determination .” ■
