Reaching key milestones
Formbar Limited, the specialist Trolley and Basket supplier are very pleased to announce that they have reached key milestones in July 2024.
It is 5 years since Hannah Lewis took over as Owner and Managing Director of this successful business in July 2019. Hannah had in her original ambitious business plan that in year 5 Formbar will need to move to a bigger office and set up a showroom for customers to visit.
19th July 2019 Formbar Limited moved into The Cart Shed, a small barn conversion office in Oxfordshire. 19th July 2024, exactly 5 years later Formbar have moved into Willow Barn just across the courtyard from The Cart Shed. This impressive two storey barn conversion has more than 3 times the office space plus a large meeting/showroom.
This move is a fantastic way to celebrate the continuing growth and success of Formbar Limited. Hannah said “I am extremely proud of the growth and development we have achieved at Formbar in the last 5 years. Taking on a business, even one I knew so well, is always a risk but I knew that if I stuck to my business plan we could grow with sustainable progression and achieve my plan. With 5 of us regularly at the office now plus others hot desking we had outgrew The Cart Shed exactly as planned. The opportunity came up just to move across the courtyard to Willow Barn, we now have all the space I think we should ever need, and we have been able to stay at his beautiful old farm in the wonderful Oxfordshire countryside. The Formbar warehouse has grown too in the last year, taking on more and more space to accommodate our customers requirements.”
As we look forward to the next 5 years we will continue to proudly represent Marsanz and other European manufacturers of trolleys and baskets in the UK market. By supplying these products we can guarantee continuity of supply, use only high quality raw materials, supply products that adhere to all safety standards and have long warranty assurance. With our inclusive and family friendly business culture coupled with our drive to continue to improve our environmental sustainability we are already a business of the future and we are well placed to push for year on year success.
