Company No. OC364751 Derek Hibbart, Editor, Door Industry Journal welcome With Christmas nearly upon us, that can only mean one thing…The winter edition of the DIJ is here! I’ve spent the last four weeks preparing the content for this issue and, as we go to press, I think this is one of the few days recently without any rain! That’s a stark contrast to the hot and dry conditions when working on the summer issue. As for the outlook in our industry, I would say it’s looking reasonably bright. Despite uncertainty in the building industry the sector is, generally speaking, holding up quite well. There is plenty of growth and activity, certainly if this issue is anything to go by. To find out what’s going on, take a look inside at the plethora of stories from across the sector. Here are a few highlights: • Jewers Doors celebrates 40 years in business (p6) • Celebrating the life of Roy Chamberlain – of Chamberlain Doors – who has sadly passed (p8) • All the information you need on the Secured by Design initiative (p24) • Ellard’s journey towards de-carbonisation (p28) • ThermoSecure is raising its production game thanks to new investment (p60) • Alucorb is travelling the country to spread the word about its partnership with gate manufacturer HorizAL (p90) • IN2 Access announces a distribution partnership with Sweden’s Comlink (p94) • Kirk Smith, of Allegion UK, explains how a door becomes a fire door (p104) • Squire launches a new smart security system for remote control access (p116) • Some holiday fun (p121) That lot - and everything else packed inside - should keep you going over the festive break! As ever, thank you to all our readers, advertisers and contributors for your support throughout 2023. I wish you all a merry Christmas and a prosperous and happy New Year.
