Premier Form Tools Ltd UK Factory

  A Brief History

Premier Form Tools began trading in the summer of 1984 from the back of a small industrial unit in Leafield, Wiltshire with a single Wickman Optical Profile Grinder. Building on a solid base of high quality products, quick deliveries, and first class customer service, managing partner Roger Sprules was soon relocating the company to larger premises in Melksham where he was able to invest in more machinery and equipment. Following further growth, Premier moved into its current purpose build facility in 1997, where the programme of reinvestment still continues
