Founder and Managing Director of the Dunster House group of companies, Chris Murphy provided an informative talk on the background to and future plans of this Bedford based business which has grown significantly since being formed in 1994. Clearly an entrepreneur, Chris explained how the business had moved initially from supplying double glazed windows into the sourcing of children's play equipment for sale in the UK. The business now also sells log cabins, greenhouses and garden sheds with these being produced in a number of factories owned by the Group across eastern Europe. Chris has plans for the further development of the product range with sales now being achieved across the world and including Israel, Dubai and Japan.
