Goodband Polishing – our history
The company was formed in the mid 1970’s by Raymond Goodban, to polish mainly mild steel components for the British Shop fitting Trade. Ray was at the forefront of polishing in this industry and was the instigator of the concept or pre-polishing mild steel prior to fabrication to raise the standard of the finish. Ray was heavily involved in new concepts for the industry and polished items for all the major trade shows of the 1980’s and was involved in photo-shoot work for numerous trade catalogues, providing all the polishing prior to electro-plating of the items.
The company was incorporated in 1978 and forged strong links with Midland Chromium Plating Co Ltd, one of the leading electro-platers to the industry enabling them to provide a finished service. Since that time Goodbands has gone on to achieve ISO 9001 in 2003 and diversify into other areas of polishing. Along the way Goodbands has polished prestige one-off items such as : parts for the queen’s land rover, the “Popemobile”, furniture for the G8 summit and furniture and Shopfittings for the Olympic village and Westfield.
Continuing to keep it family values, the company has employees with over 30 years loyal experience and new blood eager to learn, and be involved in a traditional process with a modern thinking outlook which enables us to provide our clients with a quality finish.
