The 30th anniversary of The Garage Door Centre has given the team an opportunity to reflect on what has enabled the business to thrive in such a competitive market.
At the company’s head office in Wellingborough there are still specialist staff who recall the early days of the company, which began in 1986.
Many of the high quality up and over, sectional, side hinged and roller garage doors are still going strong three decades later and the business has extended its product range and services.
Nathan Dove, Managing Director, said: “We are really proud to have reached our 30th anniversary. We would like to say a big thank you to all our customers and pay credit to our team, who all understand the need to work together to ensure we continue to meet the same high standards.
“We put a lot of our success to supplying only the highest quality doors available ensuring the best guarantees and continued trouble free operation for years.”
The wide range of products are on display in the showroom at The Garage Door Centre’s head office, enabling visitors to push buttons and operate working models demonstrating all the operators and gears.
The complex, in Meadow Close, Finedon Road, Wellingborough, is open six days a week, and gives people an opportunity to see first hand the many products created by leading manufacturers.
This includes garage doors by Hormann, Garador, Carteck, SWS, Rundum Meir, Cotswold, Wessex, Silvelox, Cedardoor and Woodrite as well as the high security front entrance doors by Hormann and Fort Engineering.
Nathan Dove said: “Since 1986 the company has enjoyed continuous expansion and in our showroom we are able to display the very latest working and static garage doors. We are a major distributor and specialist installer for major manufacturers as well as many smaller specialised ones.
“We are an approved supplier and installer for a comprehensive range of high quality garage doors and entrance doors from all major manufacturers. This lack of bias to a particular manufacturer enables the sales consultant to concentrate on the customers’ own requirements with total impartiality.
“Many of our staff have been with us for more than 20 years and have an enormous wealth of experience to help advise anyone wanting information on the best type of garage door and sizing details for their garage opening.
“All our staff receive constant training so they are aware of the latest products and updates to current ranges to ensure that all customers are offered all the best options available.”
The specialist teams include technical advisers, site surveyors, sales consultants and teams of highly trained installation engineers. A special projects division undertakes all non-standard applications, ensuring the correct products are selected. The Garage Door Centre’s sister company Samson Awnings specialises in quality, purpose made shading solutions, such as awnings, glass roofs and terrace covers to complement the range.
TRADE customers
The Garage Door Centre has worked hard to build and retain partnerships with a wide range of businesses and organisations.
These include developers, local authorities, architects, buildings and other window and home improvement companies, as well as a network of approved Garage Door Centre partners across the UK
Nathan said: “Our extensive network means we can offer a first-class service yet still offer products at wholesale prices. We have an excellent back up service and can help with surveys, pricing and installation if required.”
Installations are controlled by a dedicated team of engineers based in Wellingborough.
This team work alongside a national network of partner surveyors and installers to ensure a professional installation at a competitive price. Arrangements can be made for direct delivery to virtually any site across the United Kingdom and worldwide distribution is available.
A full range of accessories and replacement parts can be distributed to clients. These include a wide selection of hand held control units, access control systems and weather protection strips.
Helpful and experienced staff can help customers find the right products to meet their needs. Online quotes are available – simply send a photo and the team will be able to suggest solutions.
The range of products includes garage doors, roller shutters, remote control gates, industrial door systems and sectional and side hinged doors.
Customers who might be trying to find a door or gate to fit an unusual space can get a quote for a bespoke product in steel, timber, aluminium or GRP, which will meet their needs.
Nathan said: “Many of our customers are more than satisfied with a standard-sized door which does the job and looks good. Some clients are looking for something different and yet again we have a range of options available.
“For some this could be using one of our door kits which allow the door to be designed by the client. The kit includes a high quality frame, handle and locking kit with the door design up to the individual.”
