A JOINERY business that started out based at home has moved into a business centre to help it meet demand from clients that include some of the region’s largest construction companies.

Tees Valley Joinery, set up in 2013 by Rob Wilson and Adam Gallagher, is the latest tenant to move into UK Steel Enterprise’s Innovation Centre on Hartlepool’s Queens Meadow Business Park.

As business grew Rob’s brother Martin joined the company as office manager in 2014 and the trio is looking forward to further expansion.

“We are definitely benefitting from the up-surge in the construction sector,” said Mr Gallagher, “and are currently working on a number of large new-build projects. We are also involved with projects across the UK for shop-fitting company Caterbuild, based in Grantham.

“We are also carrying out work for some of our neighbours at the Innovation Centre, including Brickwork Services, and are confident that there is a lot of potential for us to grow,” he added.

Tees Valley Joinery employs 22 qualified, experienced joiners and expects demand to grow faster now they have moved into managed business premises.
