Shepley
Returns with Former Management Team
Shepley founder and former MD Dave Howard has joined
forces with ex Production and Sales Directors Tony Fry and Tim Walker
to create a new company which will begin manufacturing again at the Shepley
HQ on Monday, 31st March.
The
three equal partners had originally attempted to buy Shepley from the
administrators as a going concern but, when this proved impossible, they
announced the formation of a separate new company which will trade as
Shepley Windows and Conservatories. This company has acquired the Manchester
head office, factory and assets of the former business.
Tim Walker said: Our strategy for Shepley is quite simple - to get
back to basics from one site and give back to customers the traditional
values of service and product quality which helped Shepley become a trusted
and award winning name in our industry.
We were involved with Shepley when it was at its most successful
and we have absolute faith in our ability to recreate that winning formula.
The new company will focus on its old values and we hope as many existing
and previous customers as possible will respond positively to that.
Shepley has also announced that it will once again be fabricating exclusively
in REHAU profile, using both the 70mm S706 and REHAU Edge systems to offer
a comprehensive product range. It will be manufacturing windows, doors
and in-line patio doors, as well as composite doors and conservatory roofs.
Wolfgang Gorner, the Business Unit Director of REHAU Window Division,
said: REHAU will be doing all it can to support Shepley in this
new venture. REHAU was very proud of its role in Shepley's success from
1988 to 2005 and we hope to be able to create a similarly successful partnership
with the new company.
Tim Walker added: We will begin making deliveries from 7th April
and orders have already started coming in.
The new company can be contacted on: 07515 103476 (Tim), 07525 665877
(Tony) or 07525 639000 (Dave) and the fax number is: 0161 343 3684.
