Plastic Head has come along way in the two decades since director Steve Beatty started the company from his bedroom at his parent's house. Although originally known as a specialist in Rock genres, PHD has grown and expanded to cover all areas of music: from extreme Metal to Hip Hop, Techno to Reggae, Ambient Chill Out to Hardcore Punk. More than just a 'carrier of product', Plastic Head is a music distributor that prides itself on the quality of its roster, and its understanding of the markets it caters to.
Fiercely independent, PHD is unusual in owning it's own business premises. Frequently ranked in the top ten largest UK music distributors, Plastic Head employs over forty people - exclusively handling sales and distribution in the UK for over 200 record and DVD labels (in excess of 30,000 titles), over 4,000 specialist vinyl titles, and over 3,000 clothing and other merchandise items.
Specialist departments within the company handle areas such as label management, sales & exports, graphic design, and manufacturing.
