Night prep move for growth
28th August 2018

Sliders UK has launched a second shift, adding a further capacity 60% to its bi-folding, French and sliding door lines, plus its composite door line.

The launch of the new shift, part of a continuing programme of investment since a management buy in in April 2017, also creates 11 new jobs, including a new night shift production manager post.

Managing Director Alex Murphy said: “We’ve seen significant growth in demand for aluminium product and for our composite door range and we believe that that’s going to continue going forward. As part of our long term planning strategy, we have consequently taken the decision to create a new night shift to prep product for manufacture the following day.

“We don’t necessarily need all of that additional capacity now, it’s much more about guaranteeing sustainable and long term growth, while under-writing our product quality and customer service levels.”

Sliders UK has reported consistent month-on-month growth throughout 2018, as well as 45% year-on-year growth in June this year.
