The Firm, founded in 1968, supplies customers across high value engineering, rail, defence, aerospace and energy sectors, as well as the commercial hygiene marketplace.
Impregnated wipes are proving extremely popular for manual cleaning requirements within engineering, as they save time and eliminate the need to transport, store and decant bulk and often hazardous liquids.
Jonathan Lane, sales director at Arrow Solutions, explained: “Manual cleaning typically requires the use of a cloth or dry wipe – providing an already impregnated wipe is simple, more cost efficient, less hazardous and easier overall for the end user.
“There is also the green factor to consider. We supply reusable tubs and refill packs to reduce plastic waste and large transportation costs, helping to minimise our carbon footprint in the process.”
A gala dinner was held recently to celebrate Arrow Solutions’ 50th birthday, with guests hearing from joint managing director Tony Brealey about joining Arrow Solutions as a stop-gap job, only to still be there nearly 40 years later.
He was followed on stage by Amit Mathur (managing director of Bitec in Dubai) and Paul Melrose (sales director of Instock in Scotland), who both gave personal insights of their working relationships with Arrow, before Tom Brunsvik of Aquatiq in Norway gave an entertaining reflection and photo highlights of a relationship that has spanned more than four decades.
Lane continued: “Our expansion has been down to the close agreements we have with our international distributors and the excellent working partnerships we have in place with customers, including many global OEMs.
“The two-day event was all about celebrating those partnerships and I think everyone who attended had a great time and the opportunity to discover more about Arrow, with lots of informal meetings taking place amongst the fun and games.”
