Regional award winner
Gowercroft Joinery has won the ‘Family Business of the Year’ category of the 2021 Midlands Business Awards.
The annual award celebrates entrepreneurship, innovation and business growth of the region’s most dynamic and successful companies and organisations across a wide range of industries and sectors.
Formed in 1998 as a family run business, Gowercroft has grown from a modest three-man joinery shop to an award-winning manufacturer of windows and doors with a reputation for quality and innovation and with a string of high-profile projects to its name.
“Defining our target markets and responding to growth opportunities with innovative new product lines using modern, sustainable, and energy efficient materials such as Accoya and ultra-thin vacuum glazing has been a central part of our success, enabling us to meet market needs in a better way,” managing director Andrew Madge said.
“Expanding and streamlining our manufacturing capacity and upskilling our workforce has also enabled us to operate more efficiently in order to keep pace with our rapidly growing order book.”
In the last two years, Gowercroft has invested in over £350,000 in machinery and software. The company has also added a new 10,000ft2 manufacturing unit to its existing workshop in Alfreton, Derbyshire, and has taken on 10 new staff members since the start of the pandemic.
