Team Picture – whole team

Leveraging 200 years of Combined Experience at Plastic Mouldings Northern

‘Innovation First’ stands at the core of Plastic Mouldings Northern enabling the team to
leverage this ethos with over 200 years of combined experience to deliver innovative
solutions for our global customer base.

Reliable and revolutionary, the experienced team will take your project from design to
production, investing considerable time and development work in achieving high standards
for our customers.

21 years in the moulding, the success and continuous growth trajectory of the company is
largely due to the team’s longevity and experience. Established in 2002 by business partners
Freddy Bourdais and Mark Rigg we have grown year on year, building up a prominent
reputation across the manufacturing sector with customers and industry peers.

Collectively Freddy and Mark have over 60 years industry experience, with some long-
serving team members clocking up 45 years’ industry background alone. The combined
expert knowledge, skill in design, sourcing and manufacturing experience sets us apart from
the competition.

Mark Rigg, Co-Founder and Production Director commented:

“We work across a range of industries from automotive and aerospace, to the food industry.
The brands we serve span globally and include The London Underground, Bentley, McLaren,
BAE, the Ocado group, Bosch and many more. These clients continue to return to us as a
result of our levels of service, expertise and reliability.

Our strategy remains as it always has, we have an unrivalled commitment to understanding
our client project objectives and constantly strive to ensure high-quality service and solutions
to meet their needs.”

Plastic Mouldings Northern are a tight knit company and our many long-standing staff
members are given the freedom and flexibility to work off their own initiative to progress
the company. This enables the team to focus on finding the right solution. From analysing
the problem, the needs and the objectives, to specifying the design and the materials, we
are there for the whole customer journey.

Chris Parker, Southern Sales Manager said:

“Packaging is in my blood! From an early age and in the school holidays I would help to
make boxes in the factory owned by my father, Crowhurst Boxes. I couldn’t keep away and
joined the team.

Since then, I’ve worked across the packaging industry including roles at National Packaging, SSI Schaefer and Logtek. I joined the Plastic Mouldings Northern team in 2010, with
responsibility for developing accounts in the South to bolster the growing company’s
national presence.”

Here at Plastic Mouldings Northern we have a can-do-attitude and never say no, there is no
minimum or maximum order value, and we’ll always look to find a way to support
customers, with a commitment to solve tangible material handling and supply chain issues.

Garry Thorpe, Northern Sales Manager said:

“Investment in building long-standing working relationships with customers is a vital part
of my role. Many of these relations have been built up over the years in the industry and I
have a core group of customers who’ll regularly drop me a line to source my advice and
recommendations, when you reach this point it’s a real game-changer.”

The main output at Plastic Mouldings Northern is the production of vacuum formed plastic
parts, which sees us supply high quality and often very intricate moulded parts to an array
of industries.

Ever evolving, we are also looking to the future and have recently gone through a period
staff expansion bringing in the next generation with a thirst for growth and development.
Grace Collingwood joined the team as Internal Sales Co-ordinator, with Lewis Rigg as

management team and are helping to direct the company’s future, the move is proving to
be a very pivotal point for the company as we continue to maintain our significant footprint
in the industry.
