A Shropshire-based business that began in Oswestry in 2000 is celebrating a significant milestone this September, 25 years of delivering innovative shading and security solutions to homes and businesses nationwide.
Roché Systems, headquartered at Artillery Business Park on the outskirts of Oswestry, has grown from a small team specialising in domestic security shutters to becoming one of the UK’s leading providers of outdoor living and security products. Today, the company operates the largest outdoor living showroom in the country, located right here in Shropshire.
To mark the anniversary, Roché is hosting a free celebration event on Friday 12th September, from 4pm to 8pm. The event will feature light refreshments and canapés and the opportunity to connect with leading names in the industry, including German manufacturers Markilux and Weinor, and UK-based Morvelle, with experts on-hand to discuss how to make the most of your garden.
Attendees can also enjoy complimentary drinks, pick up a Roché goody bag, and explore the latest innovations in outdoor shading.
“We’re incredibly proud of how far we’ve come in 25 years,” said Jodie Ellis, Sales Director at Roché Systems. “Our roots are in Oswestry, and it’s been the base for everything we’ve built, from our first product line to becoming a national name in outdoor shading and security.”
While Roché now serves customers across the UK, this family owned-and-run company remains firmly rooted in Shropshire, where its growing team supports continued innovation and product development across both the outdoor living and security sides of the business.
The event will also welcome Vicky Bradbeer from Hope House Children’s Hospices, Roché’s chosen charity partner. Vicky will be on hand to discuss the charity’s latest fundraising events and how local businesses and individuals can get involved in supporting children and families in need across the region.
“This event is a way for us to reflect on our journey, showcase what we do, and thank the people and partners who’ve supported us over the years” Jodie added.
