EUL finishes Brass Lever range
Established in 1986, Carlisle Brass has designed, manufactured and sourced residential products and through its sister brand Eurospec commercially orientated stainless-steel hardware of the highest quality representing exceptional value for money.
In these challenging times for specifiers traders and retailers, recognising opportunities to broaden specification into other areas of the building other than door hardware is important.
I’m sure many will recognise the term ’by others’ in plans and schedules, this can be for good reason: bespoke access control, automatic entrance systems etc, other opportunities however are passed by as they be perceived as lying away from the door; the safe zone of specification.

The HMRC is introducing a plastic packaging tax from April 2022. A tax of £200 per ton will be levied on plastic packaging containing < 30% recycled material. The aim is to discourage use of non-recycled plastic packaging and encourage manufacturers & consumers use of recycled / non plastic packaging use, we fully support this.
More and more end users are seeking out sustainable businesses as their suppliers, used as a major selling point, showcasing their ethical work using recyclable and reusable products.
