Warm Towels, Not the Planet campaign

The Sterlingham Company Limited — 12/07/2023

Press Release

The Sterlingham Company Ltd, UK Manufacturer of brass Bathroom Accessories, Towel Warmers and Washstands have announced a Warm Towels, Not the Planet campaign with an aim of becoming a carbon neutral manufacturer within 12 months and reach net zero by 2040.

The Sterlingham, who employ around 50 staff at their factory in Stourbridge, West Midlands produce for companies worldwide with 60% of their 2021 turnover being exported.

The company have already identified a target to “reduce the production of their hydronic towel warmers to 0%” in the coming months, preferring instead to promote their dry-line electric towel warmers which they recognise are both greener to manufacture as well as to sell and to own.

To try and encourage people to think twice about the power type they specify they are committing to planting a tree for each Electric Towel Warmer sold over the next 12 months, a move which they hope in itself gets them to carbon neutral.

Andrew Healey, Managing Director, said “We hope by pushing this initiative we might give others the confidence or motivation to do the same as we know that no business can get to net zero alone, we all need to go together. As part of the process, we will naturally look to make more improvements internally, having already made many over the last few years. Most important is that we engage with our supply chain to encourage our suppliers and customers to review their own carbon footprint and affect changes outside of just our own factory.”

“We have always believed in the quality and status of our dry-line electric towel warmers and have had huge successes selling them over the past 30 years, and particularly in the past 10 years as attitudes have changed. Manufacturing them in sub-assemblies allows us to process them a lot more efficiently, especially in some of the heavier energy usage processes such as electroplating.”

The Sterlingham Company Limited — 20/04/2023

Sterlingham Co Ltd has recently joined the prestigious Made in Group community, an exclusive platform that connects like-minded business leaders and facilitates knowledge sharing and best practices. As a leading manufacturer of high-end bathroom brassware, based in Stourbridge, Sterlingham Co Ltd is a natural fit for the Made in Group community, which is committed to promoting manufacturing excellence in the UK.

Andrew Healey, the Managing Director of Sterlingham Co Ltd, is excited about the opportunities that this membership will bring.

"We believe that our ethos of excellence and our commitment to innovation align perfectly with the Made in Group's mission to promote manufacturing excellence in the UK."

Sterlingham Co Ltd has been growing rapidly over the past few years, and the company's recent management buyout just before the COVID-19 pandemic has put Andrew Healey in the driver's seat. Despite the challenges of the pandemic, Andrew and his team have continued to innovate and develop new products, laying the foundation for the company's future growth.

One of the key reasons Sterlingham Co Ltd decided to join the Made in Group community is to expand their network of tube bending companies. They believe that partnering with these companies for certain production processes can help them manage capacity and grow their business. As Andrew notes, "We are always looking for new partners and collaborators who share our passion for excellence and our commitment to quality. That's why we decided to join the Made in Group community. We believe that this community will help us strengthen our network, share knowledge and best practices, and ultimately grow our business."

With nearly 50 employees working in machining, fabrication, polishing, plating, assembly, and office roles, Sterlingham Co Ltd is a dynamic and rapidly growing company. Their primary focus on high-end bathroom brassware is complemented by their commitment to using the latest technology and production techniques to deliver the highest quality products to their customers.

As a member of the Made in Group community, Sterlingham Co Ltd will have access to a wealth of resources, including networking events, digital forums, and knowledge-sharing opportunities. Andrew Healey believes that this will be a tremendous asset for the company as it continues to grow and expand.
