Strategy, Thai curry and golf…

stratégie -Strategy Commercial meeting Golf winners, Stuart Hurst and Roger Newcombe

The management team at Polymer Compounders Limited (PCL) held their biannual commercial strategy meeting in Durham this week.

These meetings are an opportunity to review the company’s growth strategy, assess our new technical developments, discuss ongoing key projects and plan for the future. It is also a chance to get together, have fun and reinforce the team spirit which helps our company stand out with our customers.

Following the tradition, a golf tournament took place under Houghton-le-Spring‘s grey sky – thankfully, the rain didn’t invite itself! This year, Roger Newcombe, Area Manager for Wales and Central UK, won the competition, with Stuart Hurst, our Site Manager, a close second. A delicious Thai dinner followed to celebrate the winners and our good commercial results!


Situated in the Highfield Hotel, the Star of Siam is the longest established Thai restaurant in the North East having over 25 years serving Thai cuisine throughout the Tyne & Wear area. With this experience and working with some of the best Thai chefs in the UK, we believe we know a thing or two about authentic Thai food. Our menu has been refined over the years to offer the best the Thai cuisine has to offer using fresh ingredients and produce from local suppliers.”
