Q&A INTERVIEW WITH TROJAN BATHS David Mosley


Trojan Baths


BKU’s Matt Broughton was in conversation with Trojan Baths’ Managing Director, David Mosley.


Matt: How has 2025 been for Trojan? What were the big ‘moments’ for the company? David: 2025 was a special year as it marked our 50th anniversary – a remarkable milestone in Trojan’s history.


We celebrated it in a way that reflected our Yorkshire heritage and values: a special evening event that brought together the heart of our company - our employees and their guests - alongside loyal suppliers who have been integral to our journey since 1975.


The inclusion of our long-standing suppliers, some of whom have partnered with us since our founding, speaks to the enduring relationships and loyalty that have been crucial to our success. These partnerships, some spanning five decades, demonstrate the value we place on long-term business relationships.


Another big moment for us was expanding our Living Showers range of accessible bathing products to support independent showering for those with mobility needs.


The range features the revolutionary ‘Bath In Shower Out’ (BOSI®) system, which we spent three years co-developing with RBT Bathrooms that we are now proud to manufacture in North Yorkshire.


I believe the range represents a major advancement for the UK’s accessible bathing market which is growing at pace - over 16.1 million people in the UK reported a disability in the 2022/2023 financial year.


A third moment to mention is the relaunch of our Traymate by Trojan Elementary shower trays, which are now thinner, stronger and sleeker thanks to an improved material blend to eliminate bowing across length of tray, which makes it easier for installers to fit. The relaunch is part of an ongoing investment programme into Traymate to modernise our shower tray manufacturing capabilities and improve the quality of the product.


Matt: Was there an overarching goal that drove the company’s efforts this year? David: The overarching goal this year was to strengthen the foundations of our shower tray division so the business is set up for long-term

growth. Much of our effort has gone into positioning ourselves clearly in the mid to premium end of the market, where design, material quality and advanced production matter most.


We invested heavily in modernising the division, taken a measured approach to entering a competitive landscape and focused on showing customers the value behind our product range. Investments include:


• Installation of a state-of-the-art casting machine [Modernising the casting machine] • Advanced vacuum lifting equipment • Semi-automated packing system [to reduce a possible bottle neck]


• Complete replacement of master moulds to meet Trojan’s exacting quality standards.


The decision to replace the master moulds, while representing one of the largest cost elements, was crucial as these are fundamental to production mould quality and, ultimately, the final product. This investment reflects our unwavering commitment to maintaining the highest quality standards across all our product lines. That work has been supported by transparent conversations about our capabilities, our


manufacturing upgrades and our commitment to quality.


Alongside this, the Trojan difference has shaped how we approach bath manufacturing across the wider business. It combines our commitment to British manufacturing excellence, ongoing reinvestment in new designs and modern production methods, and a clear value proposition based on premium quality at competitive prices.


Our focus on people has also played a major role, as we have spent time educating customers on how and why we manufacture the way we do, strengthening long term partnerships built on trust. We’ve also invested over £15,000 in training for our team this year, running courses on leadership, root cause analysis, staff management, manual handling, and fire safety. This investment is expected to increase in 2026 as we continue to upskill our in-house team.


By pairing decades of craftsmanship with continual innovation, we’ve been able to maintain the standards we’re known for while adapting to a changing market. Together, these priorities have helped us stabilise, differentiate and build a platform for future success.
