New website signals exciting new era
» A NEW WEBSITE IS THE FINAL piece of the puzzle for Cotswold Architectural Products as it embarks on an exciting new phase in its history .
Earlier this year , Cotswold split from Caldwell Hardware , remaining with the company ’ s long-standing owners while Caldwell was sold to another business .
Now , Cotswold has become Europe ’ s largest independent friction stay manufacturer .
Under the leadership of long-standing Cotswold employee Tim Ferkin , the company is setting an ambitious course for growth – and a brand new website was a natural part of that process .
“ Our new website is designed to quickly and easily communicate to our customers exactly why they should be doing business with Cotswold ,” Tim explains .
“ Visitors can read about our 45-year legacy of excellence and innovation in hardware .
“ They can learn more about the vast array of hardware products we ’ re able to offer – including our world-renowned friction stays , but also handles , support arms and accessories .
“ And they can view some of the fantastic projects Cotswold products have been incorporated in , read our latest news ,
and find contact details for our offices in Cheltenham and Mumbai .”
