Excelsior sales double in two key areas
This year we are pleased to have doubled sales in 2 key areas of the business – Winter Grit Bins and our Classic Showjumps equestrian range. As a consequence, our financial advisers Moore and Smalley wanted to work with us in publishing articles in the local business media. In times of austerity we felt it important to let people know that British manufacturing is very much alive and well.

Moore and Smalley advise Excelsior on growth strategy
Manchester Evening News, August 09, 2011
Plastic moulds manufacturer Excelsior is on target for further growth after doubling its annual sales in two niche sectors.
It has seen revenues from its winter bins range double in consecutive years, following heavy snowfalls. Sales of the bins now account for 25 per cent of Bury-based Excelsior's annual turnover of £5m.
The firm has also doubled sales in the equestrian market after acquiring Classic Showjumps in February 2010.
Excelsior, which employs 70 staff at three sites in Bury, also supplies European mail order catalogues specialising in materials handling goods.
Finance director Steve Goodfellow said: “We have several of our own proprietary product ranges, in addition to being heavily involved with the manufacture of customers' own products.
“This means we are not reliant on manufacturing for other businesses, because we have our own well-established trade networks for our products. We also have our own in-house sheet steel tooling company.”
Excelsior is due to launch two more types of grit bin which Steve hopes will continue to drive sales of the range.
