Warwick North West aprimorou sua reputação como um fornecedor líder de janelas e portas depois de ganhar um prêmio nacional "procurado". 2004, o G-Awards reconhece as melhores empresas da janela e do setor de vidros no Reino Unido. O fabricante do ano é uma categoria altamente contestada e competitiva. Existem cerca de 4.500 fabricantes de janelas e portas no Reino Unido.

Devido a um abalo de sua equipe de gerenciamento e investimento significativo em equipamentos de fabricação. Em setembro, Greg saudou uma semana recorde de vendas. Ele assumiu o cargo de diretor administrativo no final de 2021, quando seu pai, Brian Johnson, ficou doente e teve que voltar atrás. “Mas não é apenas ganhar por ganhar, é uma medida de quão longe os negócios chegaram em um espaço de tempo tão curto. Operamos em um setor ferozmente competitivo e devemos ser reconhecidos como a melhor fabricante de janelas e portas em todo o Reino Unido é muito significativa. Ele continua a moldar e evoluir a estrutura de gerenciamento de Warwick. Este ano viu a formação de uma nova equipe de gestão júnior, fornecendo um caminho para cargos seniores para os ambiciosos jovens funcionários

Managing director of the Merseyside manufacturer, Greg Johnson, led his team down to London and onto the stage at the G-Awards to collect their Fabricator of the Year accolade in front of an 850-strong audience.

Launched in 2004, the G-Awards recognise the best companies in the window and glazing sector in the UK. Fabricator of the Year is a highly contested and competitive category. There are around 4,500 window and door fabricators in the UK.

This is the latest in a string of award wins for Bootle-based Warwick which has seen revenues rise from £5m to around £12m in the last five years, despite having to navigate the fierce headwinds of soaring energy and raw material costs.

On the night before the G-Awards, Warwick North West won the special award for transformational leadership at the YM Liverpool Property and Business Awards held at the waterfront Crowne Plaza.

And in July, Warwick was named Business of the Year in front of more than 200 guests at Sefton Park Palm House at the City of Liverpool Business Awards organised by Downtown in Business.

It has been a remarkable run of accolades for the business which has seen accelerated growth in recent times due to a shake-up of its management team and significant investment in manufacturing equipment.

Already an established supplier to private developers in the North West and beyond, Warwick and its 120-strong team have increasingly become the “go-to” supplier for the social and affordable housing sector.

Sales are on track to rise again this year. In September Greg hailed a record-breaking sales week. He took over as managing director at the end of 2021 when his father, Brian Johnson, was taken ill and had to step back.

“Winning awards is fantastic recognition for everyone at Warwick” said Greg. “But it is not just winning for winning’s sake, it is a measure of how far the business has come in such a short space of time.

“Winning at the G-Awards is particularly satisfying as it is a real thumbs-up from your peers. We operate in a fiercely competitive sector and to be recognised as the best window and door manufacturer across the UK is very significant.

“We are so proud of that achievement. And as the judges recognised it wasn’t just our growth that stood out it was our commitment to social value. That element cannot be underestimated.”

Greg and his team are not resting on their laurels. He is continuing to shape and evolve Warwick’s management structure. This year has seen the formation of a new junior management team, providing a path to senior roles for ambitious young staff members

"é como o antigo clichê de futebol da Inglaterra", brincou Greg. “Warwick agora tem uma rica mistura de jovens e experiência. Temos pessoas com um longo histórico de entrega e elas estão passando com essa experiência para a próxima geração. Eu fui realmente jogado no fundo do poço e sem aquelas cabeças experientes ao meu redor, não tenho certeza se estaria onde estou agora. Nunca posso agradecer o suficiente.

“I took over Warwick in 2021 before I was expected to. I was really thrown in at the deep end and without those experienced heads around me I’m not sure I’d be where I am now. I can never thank them enough.”

Recognising the importance of net zero and energy efficiency has been key to Warwick’s recent growth. Warwick produces Innolux, a premium range of PVCu windows and doors, along with its own window product, Modus.

Compreende um sistema de sete câmara (em comparação com a maioria dos sistemas de janelas de PVC de seis câmeras), juntamente com uma unidade de vidros triplos que atinge o baixo uvalue que pode alcançar o que os clientes de 2025, que também se tornamos que os clientes e a parte de que se tornamos a permanência. Negócios que somos. Outros fornecedores também estão investindo e inovando e precisamos garantir que fiquemos um passo à frente e à prova de futuro de nossos negócios. Downtown in Business

Greg added: “Our customers have recognised we offer quality and excellence right across the board. We thank them for their loyalty. And it is our suppliers who have also helped us become the business we are. Every element of that eco-system is critical to our success.

“While it is vital we celebrate and recognise current and recent achievements we cannot stand still. Other suppliers are also investing and innovating and we have to make sure we stay a step ahead and future-proof our business.

“At the G-Awards, we didn’t only represent Warwick, but the whole city region.”
