Upcoming 40th anniversary

Written by Ann McCorkell on March 6, 2026. Posted in News.

As we approach our milestone anniversary in just a couple of months, we’ve been diving into our archives and reflecting on some old company photos. It’s been quite a journey remembering those who are no longer with us, yet played a crucial role in the existence of Rope Assemblies. Many recall Terry Hitchen, who founded the company in 1986 alongside his wife Mary, but there are few current employees at Rope Assemblies who actually had the chance to work with him. If you have any memories to share, please let us know; it would be wonderful to fill in some of the gaps.
