Rich Thomas, our Head of Operations, has successfully completed the Fit2Fit Approved Qualitative Face Fit Tester course.

This significant achievement underscores our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of safety and efficiency.

The Fit2Fit course is a nationally recognised accreditation that ensures individuals are competent in face fit testing. With Rich now certified, we can guarantee that our respiratory protective equipment (RPE) fits correctly, providing the necessary protection for our team. This enhancement in our safety protocols not only safeguards our employees but also ensures compliance with industry regulations.

Having an in-house certified face fit tester brings numerous benefits. It allows us to conduct timely and flexible testing without relying on external providers, thereby saving both time and resources. Rich’s dedication to professional development sets a positive example for our entire team, fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

I've ben using kortec for a couple of years now, and been very pleased. Paul, my rep, is incredibly knowledgeable (the kind of knowledge that you get as an experienced spray finisher, not just from knowing the tech specs of your products) and has always been a great help. The office staff are always helpful and friendly, and are just generally very pleasant to deal with. I've never had a late/missed/wrong delivery and every colour match has been very good. Deliveries are always well packaged (from 5l tins to 25l drums, I've never had a severely damaged delivery, and mine come through a courier usually). All in all I couldn't be happier with the service I have received and the company should be very proud of the team as a whole, highly recommend.

I contacted Kortec after looking for an alternative way of manufacturing our table tops, and having issues with the reactivity of our current material. Paul came to visit to assess our requirements, and gave us a material to try, and was nothing short of helpful! We have ended up switching and reducing our time spent during the manufacturing process. Excellent service thank you all!

Amazing service and products. The team could not be any friendlier if they tried. We've been using Kortec for the last few years and can honestly say that they are one of the best companies I have had the pleasure of dealing with. From the warmth of Bex & Spencer on the phone to the advice from Paul & Reece, every aspect of client care is fantastic. - Zakk & Andy Crossland
