Arkrite Fencing is a smash hit with celebrities who use its products to surround the tennis courts at their private mansions. 

Set up 50 years ago as a localised supplier, the Cannock business has expanded over the years to supply a wide-ranging clientele. 

Fences have been delivered to big names such as Madonna, Wayne Rooney, Andy Murray and comedian John Bishop.
