An award-winning surfacing business has launched a new franchise in the county.

Oltco, which provides resin-bound surfacing, has announced the opening of its new Braintree franchise.

This will be jointly owned and operated by Liam Dorian, who has launched and continues to run Oltco locations in Ipswich and Colchester, and Eric Christopherson, who joined the team in 2023.

The company was founded 20 years ago and has since gained a reputation as a leading provider of high-quality, sustainable resin solutions.

The standout feature of Oltco's offerings is the Recycle-Bound system—a world-first innovation developed in-house.

Dorian said: "Announcing the launch of our Braintree location is incredibly exciting.

"This milestone is a testament to our hard work and dedication, and we’re eager to extend our expertise to the Braintree community.

"We are particularly enthusiastic about the local job opportunities this expansion will bring and are proud to offer solutions that not only meet our customers' needs but also have a positive impact on the environment."

Oltco’s resin-bound solutions come with up to a 20-year guarantee.
