Proud to be Celebrating
50 years in Business
Like many successful entrepreneurs, it was spotting a gap in the marketplace that impelled John Monaghan to set up the business 50 years ago. Whilst already enjoying a successful career in the architectural ironmongery industry, he identified real demand for quality brass hardware and looked to importing products to fulfil this gap. His foresight proved timely and the business grew rapidly.
The success of the company as it stands today as John Planck Ltd is down to the combination of John Monaghan, for starting his entrepreneurial ventures in the 70’s, HAF for their successful range of hardware in the 80’s and John Planck for the direction that took the company through to the 00’s.
Supporting architects, interior designers, and contractors, we specialise in the design, specification, scheduling, and supply of architectural ironmongery across various sectors, including hospitality, residential, healthcare, and commercial settings. We also provide bespoke services for custom products, facilitating unique designs or replicating existing heritage fittings.
We remain a family-run company, with John Monaghan’s daughter, Frances McCann at the helm as Operations Director and Tom Planck, John Planck’s son as Managing Director. We employ 26 people and continue to thrive, building on our rich history of quality, expertise and excellence.
We are thrilled to be celebrating our 50th year in business, there is something special about what we have here today. It’s a unique place to work that really does feel like a family. I feel very fortunate every day to get to work with such amazing people. It’s thanks to the hard work of our team, that the business continues to go from strength to strength. We are grateful for the support of our employees, suppliers, and customers who have been part of our journey.
