The transaction follows the death of Gilray Plant鈥檚 聽founder-director Ralph Wilson last year. His widow and co-director Sarah Wilson said: 鈥淎mong other potential business partners, it was SP Group鈥檚 commitment to excellence that made this possible. Their unparalleled recycling scheme for most of their temporary protection products was a major factor in my decision to pass on the Gilray name to fellow NASC member SP Group. I have full confidence in SP Group to carry forward the legacy Ralph established, and I look forward to seeing what this new chapter unlocks.鈥�
