CUSTOMERS TO BENEFIT AS AMBEROL AND
LEAFIELD ENVIRONMENTAL JOIN FORCES
Amberol, who are known for manufacturing self-watering planters and street
furniture, has joined Leafield Environmental as part of an acquisition completed
in June, bringing together a talented team with over 80 years of experience in the
field of manufacturing sustainable plastic products.
Amberol work with a range of organisations including local authorities,
community gardening groups, businesses, and education establishments. Set
up in 1969 by two friends Phil Atkinson and Jack Williamson, the company
developed the
Aquafeed™ matting
system which is used
in their range of selfwatering
planters, in the
1970s. The planters need
topping up just once or
twice a week, saving on
water and maintenance.
Amberol also make a
range of recycling and
non-recycling litter bins,
as well as benches and picnic tables.
As one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of rotationally moulded litter
and recycling bins, Leafield Environmental’s products perfectly complement
Amberol’s range and ethos.
Amberol will continue to manufacture the full range of products at their
Derbyshire factory as well operating customer services. The company’s litter bins
can be found on some of Britain’s busiest streets in Westminster, and as far afield
as Australia.

Work is what we do, not where we go. Every workplace has to be an
environment that allows for individual needs as well as the team dynamic; it
must provide space for creativity and productivity. It has to be frictionless. It is
not about technology – but every great workplace has to have the right tech,
algorithms
and processes
to support
physical
and digital
connection and
collaboration.
That’s what
Flowscape
does.

FORBO LAUNCHES NEW ADHESIVE FREE
SAFETY FLOORING
Forbo Flooring Systems has
launched a brand new adhesive
free, Health and Safety Executive
(HSE) compliant safety flooring
range: Surestep Fast Fit.
Joining Forbo’s ever
expanding Fast Flooring
portfolio of adhesive free
solutions, Surestep Fast Fit has
been designed for demanding
commercial environments,
where a quick turnaround and minimal disruption is required, but where slip
resistance is also a priority. It’s perfect for all sectors where safety is important,
including healthcare, education, retail, public buildings and o ices.
The genuine >36 safety flooring is installed with no adhesive, which means
extensive subfloor surface preparation is minimised or even eliminated, and
installation is quick and easy with minimal downtime, meaning installation times
can actually be reduced by up to 50%!
Suitable for installation over a variety of existing subfloors, including new
concrete substrates of up to 97% RH, Surestep Fast Fit is installed using double
sided tape and can be fitted while the building is still in use. Importantly, the floor
can be walked on immediately a er installation is complete. What’s more, the
collection is also free from the usual constraints associated with adhesives such
as odours, dust or VOCs – contributing to a better indoor environment.
Forbo’s Surestep Fast Fit collection also features a PUR Pearl finish, which
ensures the flooring is both stain and chemical resistant, making it easy to clean
and perfect for demanding commercial applications.
