Sliders UK listed in UK top 1000 businesses
Posted on 24/03/2016
Sliders UK has been listed as one of the London Stock Exchange Group’s ‘1,000 Companies to Inspire Britain’.
The high profile study, provides a listing of what the LSE describes as the ‘UK’s most exciting and dynamic small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)’.
Sliders UK achieves an entry as the only specialist manufacturer in just a handful of window and door companies to have made the cut in this year’s report.
Ian Longbottom, Chairman, Sliders UK, said: “We saw good growth across the full spectrum of our offer last year. This included PVC-U and composite door ranges – and very significant growth in our aluminium inline sliding and bi-folding door offers.
“To have this growth recognised by the LSE is a real achievement. We’re the only specialist manufacturer to feature and it’s a great reflection of the hard work that team here have put. It’s also a reflection on our customers, their hard work and their continuing success.”
Sliders UK reported growth in aluminium bi-folding doors and inline sliding doors of 225 per cent in 2014 compared to 2013. With continuing growth last year, and in volume in its range as a whole, the specialist door manufacturer reported a 10 per cent growth in turnover at its year end in December.
Xavier Rolet, CEO, London Stock Exchange Group, said: “[The report] squashes any notion that the UK is a country that no longer has a manufacturing industry. Almost a quarter of the 1,000 companies operate in manufacturing, construction and engineering, and many within that group are working at the very cutting edge of their industries.”
