Local joinery business reaches 25 year milestone

June 28, 2013 - PRLog -- Local company Westbury Garden Rooms celebrates 25 years of trading this year. With over 1,000 timber conservatories, orangeries, garden rooms and pool houses designed and built across Essex and the Home Counties, Westbury  has grown into a multiple million pound organisation employing over 50 local people from across the county.

In 2011 a name change from Westbury Conservatories to Westbury Garden Rooms heralded a new era in the company. The traditional fully glazed conservatory was in decline, making way for more functional and versatile Orangeries and Garden Rooms. The brand has gone from strength to strength and has now expanded into the luxury window and doors market, specified by architects and developers across the UK.

Major investment throughout 2012 saw new premises with offices, workshop and showrooms and a move to South Woodham Ferrers.

Managing Director and founder Jonathan Hey said: “Running a successfully business isn’t about counting the money in the till, it’s about looking at the detail to improve and becoming more efficient as you go. Service is key, and testament to that is much of work comes from recommendation”.

Notes to editors

Westbury was founded in 1988 Managing Director, Jonathan Hey. During this time, Westbury has developed an impressive reputation across the UK for design, quality and durability in bespoke garden rooms, orangeries, pool houses and roof lanterns.

Based in Essex, Westbury is a privately owned company, employing 50 staff. This includes a full time team of bricklayers, ground workers, carpenters and electricians to ensure that every aspect of a client’s project meets Westbury’s exacting standards. In fact, Westbury ensures that all elements of the project, from start to finish, are taken care of in-house, including architectural design, planning permission as well as the build itself.

Westbury is committed to a policy of acting in an environmentally responsible manner. In practise this means that the company only uses wood from sustainable sources and hardwood is used only where absolutely essential in order to minimise wastage. In addition, where possible, Westbury tries to source materials from European suppliers to reduce its carbon footprint. Furthermore, Westbury also ensures that its extensions are insulated to a higher level than current legislative standards recommend, helping both the environment and the consumer or property owner.

The company has been designing, developing and manufacturing doors and windows as part of its overall service to clients which lead to the development of a standalone joinery business Westbury Windows & Joinery Ltd. Now, architects, builders and specifiers can select Westbury products for their own developments and projects, with the knowledge that they are manufactured to the same quality and standards as its garden rooms.

In fact, Westbury’s commitment to creating superior products has seen the company invest in the latest joinery machining technologies, greatly increasing the company’s efficiency and capacity.

On average, Westbury completes around 50-60 projects every year ranging from smaller suburban installations to large orangeries or pool houses where luxury is imperative and more substantial budgets are necessary.
