A new company has entered the furniture skate/dolly market, with a manufacturing unit based in West Mersea, in Essex.

Evo Supplies Ltd started in November 2013, taking over the existing business of Evo Projects Ltd that served the moving industry for the last decade. The owner of Evo Projects, Ainsley Burrell, emigrated with his family to Perth, Australia, and is now serving the Australian removal market. The new company is owned by Greg Dunn and run with the aid of his Office Manager Debbie Munson and Production Manager Bill Haughan.

Greg said that his popular skate is the 590mm square, 18mm plywood board, with 100mm blue elastic castors, with a carrying capacity of 450kg spread load. “Braked castors are becoming increasingly popular, most recently used on Juliet’s bed for the Bearwood Opera’s upcoming production of Romeo & Juliet,” he said.  “The skates are covered in fluted rubber matting to protect the cargo from scratches. They are available in plain plywood base and also with company logos on white plastic-covered base, or the slightly cheaper option of logos on a pale knot-free spruce board.”

Evo Supplies also sells moving blankets, webbing, sack trucks and pallet trucks. For more details, please visit the company website at www.evosupplies.co.uk
