We’re proud to be renowned for our expertise throughout the whole company. All of our employees are dedicated to providing both new and existing customers with top quality products and services – something we have strived to achieve, and improve on, since our formation 50 years ago.
Blackburn Chemicals’ Philosophy
Our philosophy is refreshingly simple: to produce the best products on the market and support this with outstanding technical sales and customer support teams.
We aim to remain an independent, family-owned company and to continue to produce the best foam control products possible for our customers, as we have for over 4 decades. Customer satisfaction is of the utmost importance to us, which is why our research and development team work closely with our customers to ensure our products are meeting their requirements.
We’re focused and specialised in foam-control with an emphasis on technical development, which will enable us to continue to expand to further applications for foam control.
About Us
Small Enough To Care. Big Enough To Lead.
All six of the Founders children helped the company to become established. In the year 1997, the youngest son, Steven took over as Managing Director and masterminded the significant expansion of the company which took place during the following 20 years.
John Covill – the current Managing Director – has been with the company since graduating from the University of Newcastle in 1984, working as a development chemist, Production Manager, Sales Manager, and becoming Managing Director in 2016. The family connection continues with three of the Founders Grandchildren currently holding responsible positions within the company. All shares in the company are owned by the Family Lamb Trust.
We’re big enough to accommodate multiple businesses’ needs, on a global scale but small enough to provide a personal service and care about our customers. Being an independent family-owned company allows us to make long term business decisions for the benefit of our customers and not short term business decisions for the benefit of unknown shareholders.
