Door offering continues to diversify with longstanding support
Listers is a name synonymous with development and growth. Renowned as a longstanding and well-respected window fabricator in the UK, Listers also offers an extensive range of composite doors options.
Having partnered with DoorCo to offer their ORiGINAL range back in 2018 and more recently adding BRiTDOR to their product portfolio, the partnership has gone from strength to strength. Over the last year, the company has continued to build on this momentum, supported by ongoing investment in its people, systems and manufacturing capabilities. As demand for improved service has increased, the team has expanded to ensure customers will receive high level of service and support. By implementing more modern, efficient and innovative systems across the factory, Listers is strengthening its operational foundations and positioning itself for continued, sustainable growth.
As Bradley Foster, Group Head of Business Improvements at Lister Windows, explains:“ We’ ve partnered with DoorCo as our lead supplier of fully prepped and painted composite door slabs for almost ten years and over that time, with their help and support, we have been able to steadily grow our offering. We currently offer ORiGINAL and BRiTDOR and are looking towards also offering GRiPCORE in the future to satisfy the new U-value requirements. We are also working on a solution to add double and stable doors to our portfolio.
“ We’ ve built a strong relationship with the brilliant team they have there, that understands our needs as a fabricator and are always flexible towards us. They regularly put new ideas in front of us- which has helped evolve our range over the years- and they work with us when we have special requests. They’ ve proven time and again that we can rely on them, not only to supply quality products, but quality service too.
“ More than just a supplier, DoorCo has worked with us to support the implementation of new processes on our shop floor too. We are currently working on a new barcoding system to help the workflow when slabs arrive, and we use their ONE Portal which reduces the need for extensive communication between our offices. They’ ve helped us win contracts by supplying consistent high level OTIFs allowing us to grow further in this sector, and they’ ve also helped us with the production of door brochures, providing thoughtful guidance whilst remaining attentive to our brief. At times we’ ve leaned into their IT support for help with the portal set up as well as their technical team regarding U-values, performance data, and any hardware or routing issues, which are always addressed promptly. DoorCo has proven itself to be an excellent fit for us as a composite door partner over the years and we look forward to seeing the relationship develop
as we continue to extend our range going forward.”
Ben Aspinall, Commercial Director at DoorCo adds:“ We’ ve enjoyed growing the partnership with Listers over many years and love to see what a success they have made of their composite door offering. We work hard to ensure our customers feel we’ re in partnership as opposed to a standard customer / supplier relationship, as working together to drive growth is important to us.
“ We’ re delighted Listers enjoys the benefits of our ONE Service approach and in particular, our ONE Portal that’ s been developed to brings all order related systems into one place where they can order, track, communicate and find out answers to questions faster. We’ re excited to see how things develop for them as they continue to extend their door offering into the future.”
