This commitment to talent and know-how is part and parcel of our company philosophy and is integral to how we have grown our operations over the last 36 months. We have remodelled our workforce in response to our evolution as a company and how we want to continue to grow.
We have created several roles and further added to the members of our silicone manufacturing team.

This dedication to learning and supporting staff is providing us with a stronger platform to achieve individual and company productivity and quality-standard goals. It helps ensure that we are always providing the standard of service that makes us stand out in the silicone rubber manufacturing field.
How our team is helping shape the future of Advanced Materials
In the 2020, Advanced Materials had its eye on developing a second specialist silicone rubber manufacturing facility in Littlehampton. However, due to the economic climate caused by Covid-19, it was decided that this be put on hold for the foreseeable future.
As the news of the virus changed rapidly, the Advanced Materials team approached the situation on a day by day basis and monitored the situation regularly in order to make the best decisions for our team, our customers and others affected by the operations of Advanced Materials.
We are continuing to monitor the government advice on how to tackle the outbreak and are 100% committed to meeting their requirements on how best to operate in such a severe and unknown situation. We currently remain able to keep providing the service that our customers require, however please bear with us as we navigate through this day by day. Thank you for your support and we look forward to continuing our valued business relationship with you.
We are proud of what we are achieving and of the standard of service that we consistently deliver to our silicone manufacturing customers, and we know that the quality of our team and how we invest in building it are critical to this performance, now and in the future.
