Perth operates as a sales office and production site, however, distribution is handled by our Elvington office.
Our Elvington manufacturing, storage and distribution site is situated some 10 minutes to the south east of York. The site entrance is near the centre of the village, yet the site design means that although a large facility, it does not detract from the ambiance of the village.
