In what the company describes as a positive move, Black Country Metalworks has acquired giftware supplier Richardsons.
"This increases our range of cast iron products to include weather vanes and garden ornaments," the company said.

Richardsons' product lines include a cast iron collection, and clocks.

"We'll be showing a number of these at Glee this year, so come along to hall 5 stand H16 to see our range for Winter 2007 and Spring 2008," Black Country added.
