About the employer

The Co Tops journey began back in 1995 and was formed as a result of a management buyout of the very well established ‘Cut and Edged’ UK worktop division of Blanco GmbH. Around this time the new business was moved from our former factory situated in North London to a temporary home in Dunstable within the Bedford lorry factory known as AWD. This site was our home for 7 years whilst we saved up the money to purchase our own land in late 2002. In May 2003 we designed and had built exclusively for the company’s needs, a brand new 18,000 square foot factory and relocated to the superb premises we have today.
