Since its establishment in December 2001, the Wigan-based manufacturer who produces a wide range of commercial and industrial doors predominantly for the trade has strived to offer uncompromising quality and robust products. From its humble beginnings, working out of 2400 sq. foot premises, they have continued to grow, mainly through word-of-mouth recommendations amongst its trade customers which have resulted in the need for larger premises on no fewer than four separate occasions. In 2020 they acquired land adjoining their current premises, and building work to add a further 9000 sq. foot to their existing 17,500 sq. foot home is imminent. In 2008, Alliance Doors purchased Profile Door Engineering Ltd. Following this acquisition, a new product line for Alliance was launched, the Ram-fold folding, shutter door which continues to be the preferred choice for securing very wide openings up to 30 metres wide. Several celebratory events are being planned for their staff and gifts to commemorate the occasion will be issued to their customers. Alliance Door Engineering would like to take this opportunity to thank all of their staff, customers and suppliers, many of whom have been trade partners throughout their 20 years of trading, for their continued support and loyalty. They will continue to look to the future and are excited to see what the next 20 years hold for Alliance Door Engineering.

Stanair Announces a Promotion Stanair is delighted to announce the promotion of its Engineering Manager, Ben Walsh, to that of Technical Director. Stanair Industrial Door Services Ltd was first established in 1974 to provide 24-hour reliable repairs to industrial and commercial doors. Since then, the company has only grown and grown. This is thanks to its reputation for quality, highly qualified engineers and commitment to every member of the ‘family’. Ben is just the latest example of how the company encourages its staff to succeed and progress within their chosen career. Ben’s story with the company began back in 1995 when he joined as a trainee engineer. He soon showed promise not only as a talented engineer but also as a leader of others. He became a Lead Engineer and then was promoted to Engineering Manager before ultimately becoming Technical Director. His new role requires him to inform the directors of any new developments in the industry, oversee the training and progression of the engineers and ensure that they become ‘the best they can be’. He aims to achieve this last aim through constantly reviewing training needs, being on-call to offer advice and support and even building their confidence through a mentoring system. Ben loves being part of the Stanair ‘family’ and he can’t wait to see what the future brings. We can’t either. Well done Ben. We couldn’t be prouder of all that you have achieved. www.stanair.co.uk
