A new chapter for Chris Bulpitt.

After 14 years with Stephen Webster Plastics, Chris is moving into a new position within the wider Vink UK group.

Chris joined SWP 14 years ago, when he was given his first opportunity in management. Since then, he has played a significant role in the development of the business, leading our team through successes, challenges and plenty of change along the way.

But as Chris himself reflected recently, the milestones only tell part of the story. It’s the people and relationships built along the way that really matter.

We’d like to thank Chris for his commitment, leadership and contribution to Stephen Webster Plastics over the past 14 years. We’re delighted that he’ll remain part of the wider Vink UK group and wish him every success in his new role.

As we look ahead, Andrew Broad will take on the role of Interim Manager while we recruit for a permanent successor.

For our customers and suppliers, it’s very much business as usual. Our existing contacts and communication channels remain unchanged, and our team continues to be here to provide the service and support you expect from us.

πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‚ Happy 60th Birthday, Richard Staines! πŸŽ‚πŸŽ‰

Today we’re celebrating a very special milestone for our colleague and friend, Richard Staines – who turns the big 6-0! πŸ₯³

Richard has been part of the Stephen Webster Plastics family for nearly 10 years, and when he joined us, he already brought an impressive 33 years of experience in the plastics industry with him. That means he now has a remarkable 43 years of industry experience!

Over those four decades, Richard has built up a wealth of knowledge, expertise and experience, making him an invaluable member of the team and someone colleagues can always turn to for advice and guidance.

Away from work, Richard has plenty of passions to keep him busy. He’s a huge Disney fan 🏰✨, a dedicated Watford FC supporter ⚽️, and more recently has discovered a love for cruising 🚒 – so there’s certainly plenty to stop him from retiring just yet!

Richard, from everyone at Stephen Webster Plastics, we hope you have a fantastic 60th birthday and a brilliant year ahead.

Happy 60th, Richard! 🎈🎁πŸ₯‚

✨ Inspiring creativity in the classroom starts with the right materials!

A new school year brings exciting opportunities for students to experiment, design and create. From model making and prototypes to artistic projects, plastics provide a versatile way for students to explore their ideas.

With options including polypropylene, ABS, HIPS and recycled plastic sheets, teachers can help students develop practical skills while thinking about sustainable design choices.

We’re proud to support schools and Design Technology departments with quality materials that help turn creative ideas into reality.

What amazing projects will your students create this year? 🎨

Our HIPS sheet range is available in multiple colours and thicknesses from 0.25mm to 6mm, helping manufacturers create high-quality thermoformed products with ease.
