Stoke-on-Trent company expands with extension and recruitment drive

National timber staircase and windows suppliers StairBox and Wooden Windows have expanded their premises with a 30,000sqft extension.

The Stoke-on-Trent sister companies will use the space for assembly, finishing and quality control. They will also be looking to recruit up to 20 new members of staff to add to their 100-strong team over the next 12 months.

The companies moved into their Trentham Lakes premises, which is three times the size of their previous site, two years ago.

Alex Hancock, director of StairBox said: “We have seen rapid growth over the past few years and we needed to meet the increase in demand, meaning we had to expand. We have had a fantastic couple of years and the businesses are going from strength to strength which we believe is due to the quality of our service and products.”

Director of Wooden Windows, Mark Winter said: “This is an incredibly exciting time for both companies. We will now be able to increase our output by 25% which will complement the growing demand. It also means we will be able to create several new jobs and add to our fantastic workforce.”
