20 year milestone
Halo fabricator, Sterling, is celebrating its 20th year
in business in 2013. The Warrington-based company
was set up by Andy Wells and Neil Messenger in 1993
and specialises in the manufacture of high quality
windows and doors, primarily for trade customers.
As Chairman Andy
Wells believes, the
company’s two decades of success can be
attributed to its determination to keep things
simple:
“The combination of
high quality components,
Halo’s esteemed Eclipse
system, Fuhr door locks,
Mila Pro Linea twin cam
espags etc, manufactured
to high standards whilst
keeping overheads under
tight control means that
Sterling provides customers with high quality
products that represent
fantastic value for money.
“Recent investment in
new IT systems to in-
clude factory scan points
and bar coding, has
enabled our management
team to focus on key
parts of the company to
ensure that costs are kept
to a minimum, whilst
quality and service levels
to customers are continually improved. Ever since
the business was founded
we have benefited from
continuous growth which
has, in the main, come
from recommendations
and referrals, and we are
thrilled to be celebrating
our 20th anniversary, and
recognised by our customers for what we do.”

Patio Door Specialists
(PDS) recently came to
the rescue of Melinder
Messenger and her
team from Channel
5’s Cowboy Builders
programme, which
was aired on the 21st
October 2013, with its
unique Tri-Slider patio
door.
The team at Cowboy
Builders was helping out
Karyn and Peter Court and
their growing family, who
had been badly let down
by a local builder on the
extension to their property.
With just one weeks notice,
director Darren Dimmock,
had the Tri-Slider manufactured and delivered to site
fully glazed on the Saturday,
just in time for the return of
the homeowners the following day.
The Tri-Slider system is a
unique patio door system
that offers a genuine alternative to the bi-folding door,
yet at a more cost effective
price point. It also offers
slim sightlines and a glass
area that can offer up to
25% more light than other
large door openings. This
product sits alongside the
standard PremiLine patio
door, bi-folding door and
PremiDoor lift and slide
door in Kömmerling’s comprehensive door systems
range.
PDS is experiencing a
surge in enquiries for this
new door, which sits in
between the standard patio
door offering and a bi-folding door.
