FLAG ranges flying high following MBO

"The assets of C W Wastnage Ltd, makers of FLAG specialist paints and  finishes and Flagship marine coatings, have been purchased by the management team. Led by managing director Tony Grover, the company is embarking on a plan of expansion and rationalisation.

"We have so many superb products such as our Asipo anti-mould treatments, Aqualac floor coatings, Roofix roofing compound, woodcare products and a new one-coat tile paint that we need to concentrate on these products and take them to a wider audience," said Grover.

"We've already made inroads back into the Middle East and the USA and are currently recruiting agents worldwide."

Built up over many years by the late Geoff Wastnage, the company specialises in the manufacture and handling of solvent and water-based coatings on two sites in Burnham-on-Crouch, Essex. Tel: +44 (0)1621 785173 •
