The 200-year old Dudson announced that it will now proceed with its expansion plans with support from the Business Growth Fund (BGF), an investment vehicle backed by five of Britain’s largest banks. According to reports, BGF investment director Ian Downing will join the company’s board with the business remaining under the control of eighth generation family members Ian, Max and Mark Dudson who act as Non-Executive Chairman, CEO and Group Operations Director respectively. Chief Executive Max Dudson told local newspaper The Sentinel, “Primarily we will be looking to strengthen our manufacturing processes. Evolution has been extremely successful for us and we are seeing more customers using that line. We are looking at a medium to long term strategy which will mean investing in continued product development too, through the design process and by breaking into new markets and that will lead to us needing extra sales resources. What we are hoping to do, through this process, is to create jobs and, going forward, ensure the maintenance of the company in a successful and secure position. Our customers will be able to enjoy increased availability of product and more development in the range.” CEO Dudson continued, “BGF’s modus operandi of providing unsecured capital and allowing the incumbent board of directors to retain full control of the business, coupled with their long term perspective, makes this a perfect partnership for Dudson, allowing us to deliver our strategy for growth.” To read the entire Sentinel story, go here: http://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/Tunstall-based-Dudson-ceramics-lands-3m-Business/story-21048427-detail/story.html#ixzz30lSNVtuT To learn more about Dudson and their wide range of hospitality tabletop products, go here: http://www.dudson.com/
