Shower manufacturer Roman is celebrating 40 years in business, marking four decades of growth since its founding by Gerry Osborne.
Osborne launched the Newton Aycliffe-based company with the ambition of becoming the UK’s leading shower manufacturer. Initially, Roman specialised in bath screens designed to complement the popular bath suites of the time. Over the years, the company expanded its product range to include shower enclosures and trays, establishing itself as one of the UK’s largest shower brands with a presence in 72 international markets.
To commemorate the milestone, Roman staff gathered for a special event featuring a speech from managing director David Osborne, who reflected on the company’s achievements over the past 40 years.
Speaking about the occasion, Roman described it as not only a celebration of its history but also “a moment to look ahead to an exciting future.”
The anniversary comes a year after the passing of company founder Gerry Osborne, who died at the age of 84.
