We recently had the pleasure of attending a ‘Meet the Professionals’ day at Everton Free School, where our Managing Director, Lewis Nickson, and Client Relationship Manager, Tom Stone, spent time speaking with students in small group discussions throughout the day.
The format made for a really engaging and relaxed experience, giving us the opportunity to have honest, down-to-earth conversations about the journey into the industry, the growth of Poly UP, what what life was like growing up.
Rather than focusing purely on careers, the discussions were centred around real-life experiences: how different paths can lead to unexpected opportunities, the challenges we’ve faced along the way, and what it actually takes to build and grow a business.
Events like this are incredibly important because they help break down assumptions about the working world and show young people that there’s no single route to success.
A big thank you to Everton Free School for having us. It was a brilliant day and a great opportunity to play a small part in helping students think about their futures.
Huge credit as well to @elevateebp for creating the platform and making these conversations possible.

We’re incredibly proud to celebrate not one, but two award wins at the recent Small Business Growth Awards, hosted in partnership with @hsbc_uk and the @fsb_uk, held at the stunning @kimptonclocktower.
Represented by our Managing Director, Lewis Nickson, and Client Relationship Manager, Tom Stone, we were honoured to be among such an inspiring group of businesses from across the North West. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect, share ideas, and celebrate the strength of the regional business community.
These awards recognise the consistent effort, expertise, and high standards our team brings to every project. From our humble beginnings, we’ve grown into a business that is making a real impact in the market - driven by our commitment to excellence and strong client relationships. With ambitious plans ahead, we’re excited to build on this momentum as we continue to grow.
We are truly grateful for the continued support from our team, clients, suppliers, partners, and mentors - each of whom has played a vital role in our journey. A special thank you goes to our sponsors, Derbyshire Specialist Aggregates @daltexresinbound, for their valued partnership and continued support. Their expertise, reliability, and shared commitment to quality have played an important role in our growth, and we’re proud to work alongside them.
Congratulations to all the winners and finalists on the night, and sincere thanks to HSBC, the FSB, and the judging panel for recognising and championing small businesses across the North West, and for delivering such an exceptional event.
We’re now looking ahead with excitement to the finals at The Savoy.

This is where it all takes shape: precise installation and a team focused on getting every detail right.
Progress on site in Ireland as the new surface is installed, bringing a consistent, high-quality finish to life.
Another strong collaboration with @sispitchesireland, always great to work together on another successful project!

Were do we start, we found poly up on the Web,from the minute we spoke to them ,we knew we could trust them with our project, they came to visit the house with many samples, and spent a bit of time speaking about colours a showed us pictures of previous jobs that they had done, which was helpful in making our choices of resin much easier, they where pleasant and efficient and most important good at their job, highly recommended 😀Posted on Darcy Holding12 November 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. On behalf of Rapid Ramp Ltd, I would like to massively thank Poly Up and in particular Lewis Nickson who dealt with us on this project. Poly Up were fast to respond to our enquiry and got to site keeping within our project deadline. They installed Rubber Crumb surface on top of our ramp which was completed with A* standards. Brilliant communication throughout the whole process, couldn't recommend these guys enough!Posted on Sarah Hann19 June 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had my driveway completely redone, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The team worked diligently to create a stunning and functional space that has truly transformed the front of my home. This project involved an investment but the value it adds to my property is undeniable. The team were always punctual, efficient, and respectful throughout the process and they paid attention to detail, ensuring a flawless finish. The communication provided by Poly Up was brilliant, always on hand to help and answer any questions and provide the best advice to give the best results. My new driveway has made daily life more convenient. I highly recommend Poly Up!
