Understanding the past: creating the future

In 1902, Frank Thomas Morrell began a small business in Ravenscroft Street, Hackney, making and selling French polishes, brushes and sundries to London's East End furniture making industries.

Today, Morrells is a multi-million pound, technologically advanced international business, with a reputation for innovation, quality and service.

The key to Frank's success was that he understood what his customers needed. He understood because he took the trouble to ask them about their trade and he developed lasting business relationships with all his customers.

Today, more than a century later, Morrells still employs those same principles, and Frank's Grandson Joe is still actively involved in making sure we don't lose sight of what's important.

We understand that our proud heritage gives us a valuable advantage; we are committed to using it to provide our customers with the very best products and services. Just like Frank did.

Morrells second century in coatings not only builds on the rich experience of the past, but also embraces the environmental challenge of the future, with our customers. Frank would be proud.
