Longevity is also a key factor. Our products are manufactured to last; our decs all come with a lifetime guarantee and many components are designed to be replaced where needed. We design for the long term.
the manufacturing industry is female. How can more women be encouraged to join the professions? What would be the benefits of more females involved in product design and manufacture?
Within my small team, two out of three of us are female, so we are bucking the trend here at Coram UK. From a personal perspective, I feel that women often see things from a different viewpoint; which can be incredibly helpful when it comes to problem solving. At the crux of product design is the desire to improve and want to make things better for end users within their environment. The industry needs people who can connect and offer different responses; who get excited by the smallest details and approach solutions with different mindsets. That’s why diversity is so important in the creation of a great team. I am not sure how we can encourage more females into our industry. I would say to women who are interested in 3D design, spatial awareness and get excited by the smallest details, colours, finishes and textures, that this is a great career to consider. You can really make a difference.
7. Coram UK has been shortlisted for the ‘Sustainable Company of the Year’ award at the SHE Awards 2024. How do the product design and manufacturing teams work together to increase sustainable manufacturing measures?
Sustainability is always on our mind. From the start of a project when we look at sourcing materials, considerations such as energy consumption when manufacturing. Selecting recyclable materials, looking at the future of the products, considering packing and logistics and the journey of those components.

And, of course we implement ISO14001 which helps to offer benefits in terms of enhanced environmental performance, regulatory compliance and operational excellence.
8. Impey is the UK’s leading manufacturer of wetroom solutions. What do you think sets the Impey product portfolio apart?
So many things it’s difficult to pinpoint one or two; performance, quality, ease of installation, compatibility, construction, branding and much more.
We encourage feedback from installers, retailers and specifiers. We have close relationships with other bathroom manufacturers and last year launched our bathroom adaptations technical training tour, which we invited five other bathroom brands to participate in.
For a generation we have been the leading manufacturer of wetroom solutions in the UK and we are on the way to a million installations; this success has been built on our mission to improve the showering experience for all users.
