A County Durham shower parts maker has pledged to bolster production after securing £1.5 million investment.

Roman says it will buy new machinery and materials to meet growing customer demand.

The business’ blueprint follows cash support led by Maven Capital Partners that included £800,000 from the Finance Durham Fund and £700,000 from the North East Development Capital Fund.

Based on Aycliffe Business Park, Roman makes shower screens, trays and bathroom furniture for customers across 70 international markets, with its order book including trade merchants, independent retailers, hotel groups and housebuilders.

David Osborne, Roman chief executive, said: “We find ourselves in a period of prolonged growth and expansion in the UK and internationally, and this funding allows us to focus on optimising some amazing opportunities.”
