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.
