About Us
Dave Shipton, an engineer turned kitchen and bedroom installer, designed a device to enable accurate and reliable scribe lines to be marked on fillets and, when cut to that line, the fillet will fit perfectly and without the need for additional trimming. To use his words, “To create a scribe line rather than a guide line”.
Dave contacted Ray Wilson, a retired businessman, to seek help and advice to get the product to market. Ray was immediately impressed with the idea, made proposals to improve the design and the two agreed to work together. Scribe-Mate was born.
From the outset, Dave and Ray were committed to 'Green Issues'. As far as possible, all components are manufactured using recycled materials, and in turn are recyclable, biodegradable and/or compostable. They vowed to keep the company's carbon footprint as low as possible. A little over 80% of the product is procured in the UK, thus supporting the local economy and minimising the carbon footprint.
The product is designed for longevity and reliability because they definitely do not subscribe to the modern 'disposable product' philosophy!
