Headquartered in Moira, Harlequin (formerly Clarehill Plastics) was founded by Mrs May Gracey in 1981 to pioneer the manufacture and supply of rotationally moulded plastic products.

Over the past 40 years, Harlequin has grown into a leading manufacturer of innovative polyethylene storage tanks and systems.

Forty years of experience has given them a unique insight and vision, and a practical approach to innovation.

The Harlequin family has grown from three people in 1981 to the present 105.

Not only has staff strength grown, but they have also invested further in technology and a new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in East Kirkby. While the company’s services and operations have expanded, their underlying principles have remained constant.

Managing director, Laurance Coey, said: “We have enjoyed a significant period of growth in the last 40 years and have ambitious plans for the future. Innovation is at the heart of our business.
