Steve Vick International Ltd

Steve Vick International was founded in 1981 by the current chairman, Steve Vick, who saw an opportunity to develop ways of safely sealing off gas mains and services using expanding resin foams under ‘live’ conditions. The company was initially a husband and wife team, with Steve and Angela working together from their home in Norton St Phillip, Somerset. It was during these early days that Steve Vick International pioneered Live Mains Insertion, an innovative cast iron mains replacement technique that ensures customers’ gas supply is uninterrupted throughout the insertion process. In 1984, British Gas granted the company a license to market Live Mains Insertion techniques worldwide. As a result the business thrived and in 1989 moved to larger premises in Bath.
