In 2017, Steve Barry took over Acorn Plating Ltd from his Father who has since retired. Since then we have been making some much needed updates and improvements, this website, a facebook page and a new company logo to name a few.
Steve Barry has been working for Acorn for over 20 years before his new role as MD so the transition wasn't as difficult as it could have been, and as he knows the industry, the switch meant that the running of the company could continue without interruption.
Recently, In 2019, Jay Reich, Partner of Steve Barry was made a director of the company from her previous position of Finance Manager.
Both Jay and Steve are keen motorcyclists and enjoy going for rides and doing the odd track day together.
