Russells…. the icing on the cake! 

Leading manufacturer Russell Roof Tiles has marked 30 years of the founding of its name with specially made celebration cakes – enough for its 170 staff on all three sites.

Originally founded as the Annandale Tile Company in Scotland in 1965 the name was changed in 1986 when the company was purchased by Scottish Aggregate firm the Alexander Russell Group plc and the name “Russell” replaced Annadale thus creating Russell Roof Tiles.

To mark the anniversary three house shaped birthday cakes were created, for their sites in Lochmaben and two in Burton, where they were enjoyed by all staff.

After a dynamic history Russell Roof Tiles to this day retains a family ethos, dedicating to investing in the staff to enable the business to flourish. It was therefore essential that there was enough cake for everyone to enjoy.

Andrew Hayward, Managing Director of Russell Roof Tiles, comments: “This is a massive milestone for us and we’re delighted to mark the anniversary. We could not be prouder of where we stand today and thank everyone in our team for all their continued hard work. This anniversary is not only to celebrate the 30 years of the name but to also celebrate the dedication of our staff across the UK.”
