timber window and door manufacturer Gowercroft Joinery is teaming up with ‘Made in Britain’, the campaign group set up to support  British manufacturers, encourage sustainable growth and help consumers, buyers and specifiers identify genuinely UK-made products.

Managing director Andrew Madge said: “We are proud of our 22 years of uninterrupted trading in Derbyshire.  Made in Britain membership is a demonstration of our commitment to high-quality British design, to the local and national economy, as well as a way of celebrating our success as a home-grown company.

“As the UK window and door market has always been distinct to that of continental Europe, we believe it is all the more important that it is serviced locally with product designs and detailing that reflect the unique heritage and architectural styles of the British Isles.

“Over the past decade, imports have taken a large share of the UK market and this is threatening the authenticity and character of UK housing stock and the built environment.”

In recent years, the company has been recognised in several industry awards, including the ‘Best Windows’ category of the 2017 Build It Awards and the prestigious 2019 British Woodworking Federation’s (BWF) ‘Woodworking Project of the Year’ award for its part in the restoration of Templeton House, Sir Winston Churchill’s former home in Roehampton.
