Formed in 1971, Roy Hatfield Ltd celebrates its 40th anniversary during 2011.

Roy Hatfield Ltd was formed in 1971 when the founder Roy Hatfield recognised a demand in the market place for quality and consistent alternative raw materials destined for the concrete industry.

 Over the next six years the company grew substantially and a second 2.5 acre site was purchased to cope with increased demand. It was at this time research and development began into a new line of products destined for the industrial and decorative concrete industry. Ultimately these products were to be manufactured and marketed through the HATCRETE® brand which has established itself as the UK's first and largest manufacturer of decorative and industrial concrete finishing products.

Over the following years, numerous prestigious projects worldwide enabled Roy Hatfield Ltd to further establish the brand in new and innovative areas. This led to increased confidence in the HATCRETE® products as well as the new concept itself. A larger, 6 acre site was purchased in 1985 to house a custom manufacturing facility and on site laboratory which is where the company still operates from today.

Roy Hatfield is still an active member of the team and believes the companies long standing success can be attributed in part to traditional business values:

"We have built our business on a foundation of integrity, professionalism and good common sense. Our aim has been to provide the highest quality products and services to all our customers and maintain a long term relationship through trust. We place great emphasis on continual research and development ensuring the maintenance of our excellent high standards and would hope to continue this service for many years to come"
