Norfolk Industries, which manufactures small animal bedding products from recycled materials whilst employing people with disabilities, will be exhibiting at PATS Sandown for the first time.

Norfolk Industries is part of a Community Interest Company called Independence Matters, which provides care services to the people of Norfolk. The business also offers work experience placements to people looking to move closer to the jobs market.

“At PATS we will be formally launching our new branding and product packaging, as well as promoting our new animal houses,” said service manager Sharon Tooke.

“These houses are designed to engage small children with their small pet and are sold complete with bedding material, mineral block, lead free pencils and apple chew twigs, as well as instructions. The larger house is also provided with a bag of treats.

“At PATS we intend to try to gain feedback on the development of a new range of products which are plastic-free, and will actively be asking people for their views whilst they visit our stand.”

Norfolk Industries will be on stand T14 at PATS Sandown. For more information visit www.norfolkindustries.co.uk
