You may not have heard of the Stonehouse business Panel Supplies Ltd, but its turnover puts it within the realms of Raikes’ rolling Top 100 Businesses in Gloucestershire series, which tracks the county’s biggest firms by turnover. 

If you are in the business of building supplies, and familiar with Gloucestershire giant International Plywood PLC, then you are familiar with the parent of Panel Supplies. 

And while we are talking of parents and siblings, that parent company is run by Ian Attwood, the son of 75-year-old Diane Attwood, the boss who signed the financial report for Panel Supplies.
