3. Maintaining heritage while staying current
Haynes Chorley & Co. Ltd., now
trading as Spectrum Plastics, has
been around since 1922. The
original idea of printing on paper
has evolved into laser printing on
special plastics allowing the
company to stay current while
maintaining their heritage of
printing. Printing is now offered on
many different surfaces:
PVC, metal, glass, acrylics, self-
adhesive vinyl, self-
cling, wood, some of which were
not even around when the company
was originally founded.

4. Passing on Enterprise Cultural Heritage
Spectrum Plastics has maintained its competitive
position in the printing business by learning from
experience and using the wealth of knowledge that
has been passed down through the generations.
Managing Director Kath Dornan says that one of the
most important assets of the company and one that
she is particularly proud of was its staff. A strong
sense of belonging to the business means that staff
take great pride in their jobs.
The MNEMOS project found that the role of staff and
the passing on of knowledge were important in the
management of ECH within organisations.
