St Helens is building on 12 years of success in the north-west by increasing space in move to larger purpose-built premises in Leigh.
The move follows continued growth in their customer base since moving to the St Helens premises in May 2010 and offers state of the art 2,000 sqft office space adjoined to a 2,675 sqft workshop unit for increasing new and used stock levels.
As part of the move, branch manager Tommy Haddock announces that the new Leigh branch are currently recruiting for a number of experienced engineers to grow its service and maintenance team – a team who over the years have grown an impressive portfolio of business. They are also looking to bring in a number of apprentices, as part of the company’s overall commitment to investing in young people within local communities.
It has encouraged a time for reflection on how the branch – which was a strategic move for the Windsor Materials Handling UK network – has grown from a modest team of six to 17 today with plans to increase that number further.
Customers include Regency Glass, Baker Hughes, Eddie Stobbart and local company Comfy Quilts who in the time of working together have grown from a single site to an impressive four site operation, with the St Helens branch partnering with them on their materials handling requirements and solutions throughout.
Tommy stresses that their success is down to a collective approach to working together and that no single person is responsible for the overall growth – it’s been a determination held by all that has brought them to where they are today.
Managing Director Jonathan Burton who has played a crucial role in the development project says: “We believe there is now a better than ever opportunity for us to expand our presence in the north-west – a key location for Windsor Materials Handling – with a state-of-the-art workplace to complement the excellent, long-established team we have developed at St Helens.”
He goes onto say: “The branch has established a reputation for its industry-leading ability in materials handling solutions, servicing hundreds of customers in its time of operating. The team have been recognised and respected for their success through recent customer feedback which is testament to their commitment in making the branch the success story that it is. It is the perfect time to build on the solid foundations that have been laid.”
At Windsor, our aim is to provide the best quality local service on a national level. We maintain a philosophy of continual investment to help ensure our strong reputation for personal customer support is maintained and always seek to develop and nurture long term and valued customer relationships to enable our customers to succeed.
