Manor Concepts celebrates 30 years

UK: Bedfordshire-based refrigerated display cabinet manufacturer Manor Concepts celebrates 30 years next month.

Incorporated on 19 October 1990 as Nationalease (Huntingdon) Ltd, it changed its name to Manor Concepts in 1996.

The company became part of the Italian Arneg group in 2015 and operates across two sites in Sandy, Bedfordshire, where the company’s products are made in-house.

Since the acquisition, Arneg has made investments in excess of £2.5m, erecting a new £900,000 assembly hall and over £1.6m on new plant, equipment, and computer operating systems. 

There are plans in place for further expansion in 2020/2021.
