ALUMINIUM
Fabricator adds the
TD68 door to its range
» » SPECIALIST ALUMINIUM
frame manufacturer, Mercury
Glazing Supplies Ltd., has
just added the new TD68
commercial door to its range.
The new TD68 door is
being billed as one of the
most thermally efficient, high
usage commercial doors on
the market. Designed by Jack
Aluminium Systems the TD68
is ideal for public buildings and
schools, as well as shopfronts,
flats and apartments and offers
intrinsic strength and security.
It boasts some impressive
thermal efficiency figures too
with a typical u-value of 1.7
on a 1230mm wide door being
achieved. Furthermore the door
is accredited to BS: EN 6375
and has achieved PAS 24:2016
on a 1300mm x 3000mm single
sash door!
In the past twelve months,
Mercury has witnessed an
unprecented upturn in sales
of their aluminium products
something that is reflected in
current market trends.
Mercury Glazing was
founded in 2002 and has grown
substantially year on year thanks
to its commitment to delivering
high quality products backed
up with a high quality service.
With the addition of the Jack
Door TD68 to the range, the
company’s growth looks set to
continue!

AT UK’S LEADING
ALUMINIUM SPECIALIST
FOLLOWING MBO
» » A MANAGEMENT BUYOUT
(MBO) has recently taken place at
Gloucester-based CDW Systems
– a specialist manufacturer and
supplier of aluminium windows
and doors.
The existing senior
management team of Richard
Smith, Angela Phillips, Jeremy
Phillips, Allan Little, Martin
Rowe and Mike Davis have
formed a new holding company,
East Manor Group which will
manage its three operating
companies which includes CDW
Systems Ltd, Clearway Doors
& Windows Ltd and Designex
Cabinets Ltd.
Indeed, the MBO comes one
year after Mike became Managing
Director at CDW and he is quick
to emphasise that although the
company has been purchased from
its Group Chairman, Jerry Webb,
the new owners don’t intend to
make any changes operationally to
how the business is run on a day to
day basis.
To that end, Jerry will continue
to be very active within the
business, reviewing the strategic
direction and pathway of the
company well into the future.
Mike comments: “The
management buyout at CDW
Systems marks the beginning of
the next chapter in the company’s
history but we also want to stay
true to our company’s long-
standing values and standards.”

and we’ve achieved this fantastic
success because we are committed
