CELEBRATing MANUFACTURING MILESTONE
»»Origin, one of the
UK’s leading manufacturers of
bespoke bi-fold doors, windows
and made-to-measure blinds,
produced its 100,000th bi-fold
door on 3rd December 2014, the

equivalent to filling 22 football
pitches when laid flat.
Neil Ginger, CEO of Origin,
said: “We are delighted to be
celebrating such a significant
milestone to end what has already

been a successful year
for Origin, with the
launch of the new
Origin Window
and opening
operations in
America and
Germany. We’ve
had a fantastic year
and this is the icing
on the cake - quite literally!
The team will be celebrating
in the factory to mark the
occasion.”
The milestone signifies
that Origin has made enough
bi-folding doors to create over
seven thousand square miles of
beautiful views in homes across
Britain since the company was
established in 2001.
The family business was
founded by cousins Neil Ginger
and Victoria Brocklesby, who
found they could not source high

quality folding sliding
doors for building
projects.
Origin has
grown to
become one of
the UK’s leading
manufacturers
of bi-folding
doors and is the only
company to offer zero lead
time on a completely bespoke
product, thanks to its pioneering
‘Your Lead Time, Not Ours’
service. Today, the company is a
£17 million turnover company
with operations in Dubai and the
US, and has this year extended
its offering by introducing a
new flush casement aluminium
window system to match the high
quality Origin Bi-fold Door.
