We now sell the The first ever 100% cotton single-use napkin
For the first time ever, there is a credible option for disposable napkins, which fill the gap between paper and laundered products.
The MyDrap concept is simple and ingenious: the napkins come pre-cut on a roll for easy storage and to remove, you simply tear along the perforations as you would a kitchen roll. To request a sample please email stuart@platohire.co.uk

Celebrating Christmas with Wallace & Gromit
As always at this time of year we donate to a charity, and this year is no exception. In the past we have donated to the Acorn's Children's hospital, an orphanage in Eastern Europe and this year we are donating to the “Wallace & Gromit’s Children’s Foundation.”
Wallace & Gromit’s Children’s Foundation, is a national charity that funds much needed projects in children's hospitals and hospices, ensuring children have a better, brighter future. Projects include arts, music and play therapy programmes, sensory equipment and facilities, respite care, state of the art equipment and parent accommodation.
If you are interested to see where our donation is going please visit the website www.wallaceandgromitfoundation.org
