A North East bespoke timber window and door specialist has capped off its most successful year by welcoming a significant new recruit.
Stuart Wall has joined Middlesbrough-based ERW Joinery Ltd as the company’s new Business Development Manager, meaning founder Lawrence Wall and wife Julie now have all three children working within the team.
Stuart’s employment is the first of a projected six new recruits for the company in 2019 and follows four new jobs created in 2018, as well as an increased intake of apprentices.
Speaking of his appointment, Stuart said: “ERW is in my blood so I’ve always known I’d be here at some point, but I couldn’t be joining the team at a better time really.
“2018 was the company’s best ever year, both financially and in the way they’ve worked to lay the foundations for the future by supporting young people with apprenticeships.
“My background is in business development, so I’m excited to help build on what the family has achieved to increase brand awareness and secure new contracts for continued success.”
ERW has been established since 1979 and provides bespoke timber windows and doors to homes and businesses across the North East and North Yorkshire.
The company enjoyed a 37 per cent increase in turnover last year thanks to a number of high-profile contracts including providing services and products for Auckland Castle, the Skelton Heritage townscape project and the transformation of Hartlepool’s former Post Office building for engineering firm Gus Robinson.
In addition, the company has recorded significant growth in the manufacturing of timber windows and doors for homeowners across the North.
ERW also recently secured funding from the Tees Valley Business Compass to invest in their brand, marketing and website with the aim of making the company the north’s leading provider of custom-made timber home improvement products.
Managing director Lawrence said: “Stuart’s appointment has now completed our senior leadership team. We are immensely proud that our children, Helen, Phillip and now Stuart chose to be part of the business and help us grow.
“We’re celebrating 40 years as a family-run company this year, so to welcome Stuart to ERW now is really special.
“Along with Kirsty and Phil in our operations team, we have a fantastic group of talented people to take the business forward and allow myself and Julie to now look towards our retirement.
“The future is very exciting for everybody in the business and we know they will continue to grow the business while maintaining the standards and service we have built our reputation on,” he added.
As well as Stuart’s appointment, ERW plans to recruit several new apprentices in 2019, giving opportunities to local talent with the aim of bridging the skills gap in joinery, and production processes.
Timber windows naturally provide a beautiful, timeless aesthetic, instantly bringing warmth and character to any home. They offer the ideal foundation for creating a stunning festive display that can give your home that sought after cozy Christmas feel this time of year. As the days shorten and the outdoor temperature drops, our windows transform into […]
Upgrading your windows is one of the most effective investments that you can make in your property, particularly during the colder months. Outdated or poorly performing windows are often the common cause for heat loss in a home, making rooms feel draughty and inconsistent in temperature, whilst also raising your energy bills. Often, you won’t […]
There’s a common belief among heritage homeowners that you can’t improve your heritage home – let us introduce you to vacuum glazing. Whether it’s the tight constraints of planning permission, or a reluctance to hinder the visual appearance of listed buildings, heritage homeowners are often reluctant to attempt to renovate their home in any regard, […]
ERW has been a major contributor in improving the physical appearance and energy conservation in our property which sits in the middle of Stokesley’s conservation area. In four phases of design and installation since early 2018 you have helped transform our property with complete distinction.
From assistance given to lodging planning applications with Hambleton District Council through advice on window design and final installation, I can give no higher praise than commending ERW on every aspect of installation.
I first visited your showroom and workshop in the Autumn of 2017 and was impressed with the factory tour afforded me by Kirsty Semark (Customer Service Supervisor). I was convinced that ERW could provide the solution to upgrading our ageing timber windows and appreciate the help and courtesy extended from you and all your staff – many of whom I have met during our four phases of installation.
The very recent installation of a new ‘Eton’ front door enhances the front elevation with perfection.
Please convey our sincere thanks to everyone involved with the workmanship, installation and administration.
Mr U, Stokesley
We were desperate to find a company that would do a quality job with quality products. Although we had very high quality windows fitted in part of the house, that company couldn’t fit them. We are so happy with every aspect of the work done by ERW from start to finish and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone who asked.
Dr W, Durham
I just wanted to say a big thank you for a job really well done. All your staff are helpful and the team carried out the installation were tidy and caused minimal disruption. Thank you!
Mr & Mrs N, Eppleby
Our whole experience with ERW joiners has been absolutely first class. Our first meeting was a showroom appointment with Stuart Wall, I personally loved the showroom straightaway, the colours of the sample doors blew me away.
To the skilled craftsmen of joiners who made our front door, who we have not met, but who we will forever be grateful too – their craftsmanship is beyond compare – thank you so very much.
