It's likely that we have all seen Accrol's products in the likes of Tesco, Aldi, Morrisons, Bookers and Wilko's but you might be unfamiliar with the brand itself.

Suppling supermarkets and retailers with some of their own-brand tissue products, including toilet roll, kitchen towels and facial tissues., the company's name is absent from labels on the shelves.

However, Accrol is one of the largest businesses in Lancashire and has been expanding significantly over the last few years.

So, how much do you know about one of the most successful companies in Lancashire?

Here, BusinessLive lifts the lid of the AIM-listed group which has experienced rapid growth over recent years.

History

Accrol Papers was established in 1993 by the Hussain family in Accrington, Lancashire.

The business achieved sales of over £1m in its first full year of trading despite a very small manual production facility and what the company has described as a "severe lack" of capital funding.

The firm relocated to neighbouring Blackburn three years later and to its present location in 2004 with a purpose built 65,000 sq ft factory and warehouse and the installation of new production lines.
