Simon Cave, Group managing Director is a Yorkshire man who completed his Honours degree in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Newcastle Upon Tyne.

He joined Vulcan as a Director in 1998, at which point, the company was celebrating its 20th year, specialising in the supply and fitting of industrial rubber products. With the support of dynamic and focused individuals, the company has developed business strengths which complement the experience and reputation for quality, value and reliability.

He says, “I wanted to get in there and implement my ideas. I quickly discovered that a good business results from long term planning and sticking fast to those plans. Throwing ideas onto the table is the easy part. At Vulcan, we specialise in making them happen.”

In 2003, Vulcan launched the recycled rubber manufacturing division – an interesting business element which helps address the ever growing environmental issues of industrial operators and manufacturers. In addition, our rubber products division has proved successful in the distribution of rubber matting and rubber sheeting across a wide variety of applications including industrial, leisure, farming and education.

“At Vulcan, we have a ‘yes’ attitude and open and resourceful staff. Feeling good about the future is an understatement! We’ve got something to shout about. I call it the Massey Fergusson factor – well built, strong transmission, whatever the field.”
