Having experienced a huge increase in sales year-on-year, fast growing composite door manufacturer, DOORCO has now moved into new and much larger premises to facilitate further growth in the future.
Renovation work completed on the 36,000 square foot facility, which is within a stone’s throw of the previous premises in Macclesfield, in early November, with machinery and equipment moved in, up and running in just 48 hours. This reinvestment in the business marks a major commitment to the UK market, and ensures that the company can continue to deliver what customers need to get ahead in this competitive sector.
Jayne Sullivan, Operations Director at DOORCO explains: “We had searched for a long time to find a location which suited all of our requirements, and we’re delighted that the new facility in Macclesfield does just that. The new building provides a real opportunity for us to integrate our manufacturing and distribution divisions, which in turn provides greater flexibility for us as a business, as well as much needed space to future proof the company in line with the rapid growth and influx of big industry names coming on board that we have experienced.
“As with everything we do, we put a great deal of detailed planning and hard work into the moving process to ensure it went as smoothly as possible in order to minimise any downtime for customers. We used a variety of local companies, all of whom worked together to very tight deadlines in order to get everything in and working as it should be.
“We were thrilled to receive so much support from our industry friends and partners –particular thanks to RegaLead, Biesse, BC transport, Baileys Electrics and Airtek, who were fantastic in helping out when we needed them. Most importantly, of course, our customers have been brilliant – they ‘got’ the reasoning behind what we were doing, understood that it can be difficult and were supportive throughout. Yes, it has been hard and more disruptive than people may imagine, but the tight deadlines we imposed upon ourselves served their purpose of minimising downtime for our customers, and we have taken another great step towards achieving our even more ambitious growth projections for next year. That said, we are certainly looking forward to short break over Christmas in which to recharge!”
