Cottam's 150th birthday party

摘要

Cottam Brush in Hebburn opened its doors recently to over 100 guests to celebrate 150 years in business. The Cottam family started making brushes in 1858 to supply the local shipbuilding and mining industries in north-east England. 150 years later Cottam Brush is still going strong as a successful manufacturing business and remains family owned and run to this day. Their markets have changed over the years and the company now designs and manufactures brushes into a variety of different industries. "We supply into cleaning, painting and decorating, engineering and oil and gas markets in the UK and overseas. The great advantage of not being market dependant is that when one market is down, another is up," explains Kathy Bevan, sales manager.
