In an industry where long-term vision often separates the good from the great, BRIT-AD LTD stands as a reminder that growth sometimes begins in the most modest of places. The company’s story is one of ambition, resilience, and a clear understanding of what the market truly needs.
BRIT-AD was founded in October 2019 by Anthony and Sally Rook, beginning not in a boardroom or a purpose-built facility, but in the garage of their family home. What started as a small operation quickly gained momentum.
Within months, the garage was no longer sufficient, prompting a move to a single shipping container. Demand continued to rise, and soon one container became two, then four, before the business transitioned into its first industrial unit. As the product range expanded and stock volumes increased, so did the need for space, vehicles, and people. Anthony and Sally’s son, Reece, joined the team just as BRIT-AD secured a second industrial unit, marking a new phase of operational capability.
Even their youngest son, Isaac, has had a few weeks of work experience with the team. Continued growth led to the acquisition of additional units, reflecting both the company’s momentum and its commitment to meeting customer needs with speed and reliability.
In February this year, the company added another expansion with a further unit featuring office and warehouse space. Today, BRIT-AD has established itself as a trusted partner, supplier, and stockist of adhesives and spare parts for the kitchen, bedroom, lamination and profile wrapping sectors. Not only in the UK and Ireland but also in several other European countries and different continents via BRIT-AD INTERNATIONAL LTD.
The company is proud to be the largest stock-based supplier of profile wrapping spare parts in the UK and Ireland – an achievement built on consistency, reliability, and a deep understanding of customer requirements.
Products built on trusted partnerships
Reflecting BRIT-AD’s commitment to quality and innovation, the company’s portfolio of partnerships speaks volumes: HB Fuller for adhesives, primers, and cleaners; Barberán for spare parts and new machinery; Hyundai for exterior PVC foils; Gard Chemicals for industrial cleaners; and Quilosa for specialist adhesives. In addition to its distribution capabilities, BRIT‑AD has developed in-house engineering and roller refurbishment services, now integral components of its offering and a key differentiator within the market.
From a single garage to multiple warehouses, from a family idea to a leading industry supplier, BRIT‑AD’s growth is a testament to what can happen when vision, hard work, and the right partnerships come together. And if the company’s trajectory so far is any indication, its story is only just beginning.
Concluding, Anthony has these heartfelt words for his loyal customers and amazing partners: “I would like to take this opportunity to thank our customers and suppliers – especially H.B. Fuller and Barberán – who shared BRIT-AD’s vision and five-year plan.”
From nothing, to something, to … the BRIT-AD journey continues onwards.
