What sets this company apart:

Churchill China is a long-established ceramic tableware business largely servicing global hospitality and retail markets. They supply technically differentiated, well-designed products to a wide range of customers in various sectors. The Company's largest market is in the UK where it holds around 30% market share in the hospitality ceramics market. Latest developments have emphasised long-term development in overseas markets. While export sales now form the majority of Group revenue, Churchill still has a relatively small market share in most global markets. This growth has been enhanced by the progressive development of higher margin, added value products, incorporating an increased level of shape and surface design.
