Fabricator celebrates double anniversary
26th May 2015

Sunderland-based VEKA Approved Fabricator, NE&C WINDOWS AND DOORS is this year celebrating a decade in business as well as its first year in a brand new, centralised factory.

NE&Cwas established by husband-and-wife team, Ed and Heather Ramshaw. Establishing its own glass-manufacturing plant, the company continually grew until, in early 2014, a move to larger premises was required to meet unprecedented levels of demand.

Financial Director Heather explained: “Having previously run two smaller units, it made sound business sense for us to consolidate our operations to a single facility. We took the opportunity to increase capacity at the same time and are thrilled to be celebrating the first anniversary of our move – it's had a huge impact, with improved production and logistics being among several beneficial outcomes.”

Director Ed Ramshaw added: “We've now worked with The VEKA UK Group for more than four years and during that time they've supported and helped us in evolving and expanding the PVC-U division of our business.

“2015 sees our portfolio complemented by the introduction of new divisions for bi-folding doors and conservatory roofing, and we're confident of VEKA's continued and pro-active support in building this new stream of revenue.”

NE&C's new 16,000 sq ft home at Glover Industrial Estate, Washington has contributed to an increase in profitability, with the company's annual turnover now in excess of £1.3m and five new appointments have increased staff numbers by over 20%.
