As a privately owned company founded in 1956, Rutland Plastics started its life moulding flowers and accessories for budgerigars, which had become all the rage after the war. So successful were the products, Rutland Plastics launched its own range of children’s toys, called ‘Rutland’, setting a precedent for the kind of astute innovation that remains at the company’s heart today.
“AdEPT’s Grant persuaded me to keep the kit we already had. You could tell the overselling of products isn’t Grant’s game – that upfront honesty is really important.” Steve Ayre, Managing Director, Rutland Plastics.
With a degree in electronic engineering and a Masters in Engineering Business Management, Steve is not only the Managing Director – he is responsible for Rutland Plastics’ ICT, too.
In 2017 he came to work with AdEPT – primarily Sales Manager Grant Read and Engineering Manager Steve Bradshaw – when Rutland Plastics was seeking support for its existing Avaya IP Office phone system. The relationship grew from there, as Grant and Steve Ayre describe for this case study.
