Award-winning shower tray manufacturer JT is celebrating an exciting year of continued organic sales growth and a significant contract win with prestigious London City Island development by EcoWorld Ballymore.

The Leeds based firm has seen an increase in production and overall sales with a growth of 20%, four times greater than the 2015 market average (5%) with strong sales in leading product, JT Fusion, and growth in the innovative aqua cushion floor, JTSOFTSTONE.

JT recently signed a significant long-term deal to supply 1,450 apartments in the high-rise residential scheme at the 12-acre London City Island by EcoWorld Ballymore with their low profile range of JTFusion trays. Work on the new development at London’s £2billion “mini Manhattan” will start this year with the complex expected to be complete in 2018.

Founded in 1988, JT now makes more shower trays than any other company in the UK, producing around 7,000 units a week. As a proud British manufacturer, JT was the first company to launch low profile trays in the UK, which now accounts for over 50% of all sales. This year, the firm also picked up the award for the Shower Brand of the Year at the industry BKU Awards.

To meet the ever growing demand from UK and international customers, JT has financed a six figure capital investment in its production site and an extension of its night shift working, growing capacity, productivity and exceeding customer needs and expectations. 

Paul Crossley, managing director at JT, said: “We at JT are enormously proud of our team’s achievements and our investment to extend our production capabilities to serve new contracts in the pipeline.”

“Our design-led JT Fusion range complements will fit into the contemporary design at London City Island perfectly. When we produced the first ever acrylic capped low-profile tray, we knew that the quality of design and innovative easy-to-install features would make a product like no other.

“The JTFusion range has performed fantastically since its launch six years ago and this appointment at London City Island is testament to a quality product and a strong brand. We look forward to working with City Island at what will be a unique and stunning location.”
