Formed in 2003 Protrim Ltd is the amalgamation of Neale and Partridge coach trimming and Prototrim Ltd.

Steve Neale and Mick Partridge started trading in December 1989, and have built up a worldwide reputation, supporting various show cars for design houses throughout the world. They have built up a reputation for quality that is renowned.
Steve and Mick have worked on many overseas projects from Finland to California.
Their background started from working together at Vauxhall design in Luton, and when that moved to Germany (Russelsheim) they were approached by Aston Martin Tickford to set up the Tickford Coachbuilding trim department, working on the Tickford brand of vehicles (Capri, Taxi and Metro's) along with working on various stretch limousines for Rolls Royce and the Sultan of Brunei.
It was at Tickford they met a young Aston Martin trained apprentice Dave Cox.
Dave left Aston Martin in 1983 to join Mick and Steve at Tickford.
Dave then left to work in the IAD Design Studio in Worthing, before contracting around the world working in studio's as far flung as Japan, California, South Africa, Brazil, Spain and several countries in mainland Europe. Before returning to the UK to run the trim development facility in Towcester for RLE International.
During this time Dave called on the support of Neale and Partridge to work on many prestigious projects, such as the Ford Faction Show car for Ingini. The RS Focus seat development programme, the DB9 front seat prototypes and the Jaguar X600 seating programme.

It was inevitable that they would all end up working together again and in the spring of 2003 RLE consolidated their business and amalgamated all there UK facilities into their HQ in Basildon, the closure of Towcester was the catalyst for Dave to approach Neale and Partridge and as they say the rest is history, and Protrim was born.
