Company History and Milestones
Founded in April 1985 by Barry Coulton, the company has established itself as a prominent name in the industry. In 1999, Barry retired, appointing Malvern Jones as General Manager. Barry retained ownership until 2004 when the business was sold to Flowmax Group Holdings Ltd. Under the new ownership, the company retained its staff and leadership, ensuring continuity in its operations.
In 2007, Coulton underwent a management buyout led by Malvern Jones, marking a new era of growth and independence. Since then, the company has strengthened its market presence, achieving steady growth with a current turnover of approximately £1.3 million.
