Gill Information

Gill Marine is a Nottingham based designer and manufacturer of branded technical apparel. It's real transformation since YFM's involvement had been the acquisition of its US distributor which cemented its access to its largest market. Taking that step for some small businesses can seem a big leap, but the support from an external investor makes a big difference. Mangar Health has always had a strong product presence for its lifting equipment in the UK local authority and ambulance markets. Further growth has been achieved in care homes and improved distribution in Europe and the US. Its management team was expanded with a strong emphasis on promoting from within. There's no one recipe for success, but by continuing to innovate, deliver well and, perhaps occasionally be that bit braver than you thought you were going to be it can be, surprising how much you can do.
