Company formed in 1967 by Vincent Madden. Originally located in Accrington, Lancashire to service the local textile industry.
In 1981 we relocated into larger premises in Blackburn and in 1999 relocated again to the current purpose built, modern 30,000 sq ft facility.
The company is still a family owned business with Vincent’s son, Jason the Managing Director.
