  • Robinson Brothers Is Appointed Export Champion By The Department Of International Trade

Robinson Brothers is appointed Export Champion by the Department of International Trade

Adrian Hanrahan, Managing Director at Robinson Brothers, joins the UK government’s Export Champion initiative bringing together business leaders who have successfully sold goods overseas.

Founded in 1869, Robinson Brothers is one of the UK's largest independent chemical manufacturers of speciality/fine chemicals and rubber accelerators. The company offers a range of chemical ingredients, alongside manufacturing services such as: new product development, contract/toll manufacture and gas odorant.

Export is key to the strategical growth of the business. The last year has brought many challenges to the chemical manufacturer’s business operations – Brexit, Covid-19, logistics and supply chain issues. Robinson Brothers senior management team and regulatory team have worked in a dynamic manner to react to these challenges in order maintain a regular supply of chemicals.

“I am thrilled that the hugely successful Export Champion programme is growing with the addition of fifty-four new champions across the country. Robison Brothers, based in West Bromwich is one of the UK's largest independent chemical manufacturers and I am delighted that they are happy to share their experiences to help inspire other companies to export,” commented Ian Harrison, Head of Exports, Department of International Trade (Midlands).

Adrian Hanrahan has many years of experience in chemical manufacturing having worked for US and UK companies.  As the main Board Director for Robinson Brothers, Endeavour Speciality Chemical and Britest, Adrian is also a Council Member of the Chemical Industries Association. Adrian holds positions on advisory boards with Make UK’s Midlands division, as well as contributing to the European Fine Chemical Group in Brussels. He has worked very closely with the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy throughout the coronavirus pandemic to ensure continued supply of chemicals to the critical national infrastructure. Adrian continue to be an active member of other government Trade Advisory Groups to support initiatives that promote UK exports.

As an Export Champion, Adrian will work with the Department of International Trade (DIT) to support the UK economic growth by promoting international trade – particularly chemical manufacturing. “I feel very honoured and humbled to be asked to participate in the Export Champion program. The UK has been hugely influential in the global chemical industry for many decades. We see the DIT as a key source of help in steering us through the regulatory and marketing challenges ahead”, said Adrian Hanrahan. Robinson Brothers will support all aspects of the new EU Free Trade Agreement to ensure maximum benefits for the company, and the UK as a whole.

Robinson Brothers expertise in performing challenging chemistries has led the company to become a dependable supplier to manufacturers across the world. Robinson Brothers currently exports 79% of chemicals to a diverse range of industries, including: Agrochemicals |  Pharmaceuticals  |  Veterinary  |  Cosmetics  |  Food & Beverage  |  Aroma  |  Electronics  |  Footwear  |  Toys  |  Aerospace  |  Medical devices  |  Rubber coated fabrics  |  Rubber teats  |  Automotive
