Teesside's Original Joinery celebrates tenfold turnover success

A joinery firm, whose turnover has increased nearly tenfold in its first four years of trading, is planning further growth following another successful year.

Original Joinery, which is based in Thornaby but works across the UK, offers a range of services, including large scale residential, hotels and bespoke projects. Recent work includes Backworth primary school, several Premier Inns and over 600 apartments.

Managing director, Kyle Fowler, said: “Our turnover has grown from £250k in 2014, when we were founded, to £2.3m last year, and our profit remains steady at 20 per cent year on year.

“This year we expect to reach turnover of approximately £3.5m, thanks to new projects and secured work.”

Explaining the company’s origins, Kyle said: “The firm started with me and one other joiner - now I have up to 50 trades people working for me.

“We work on projects across the UK, and pride ourselves on being a lean company, our whole management team working remotely.

“I’m keen to keep up the momentum, and my growth plans for 2019 are as ambitious as every year preceding them. I’m planning to employ a quantity surveyor and another project manager, as well as open an office in Birmingham.”

The firm has been supported in its success by staff at Stockton-based accountancy firm Anderson Barrowcliff.

Luke, a CIMA qualified management accountant at Anderson Barrowcliff, added: “It’s been amazing to see how far Original Joinery has come in such a short space of time, and I’m pleased we have been part of the journey.

“Kyle is great to work with and I’m sure he will continue to drive Original Joinery to even greater success in the years to come.”
