HARDWARE& SECURITY
CELEBRATING 35 YEARS
» » 2018 MARKS A
milestone in the history of
Mighton Products. Founded in
1983 and led by Chairman Mike
Derham, the window and door
hardware specialist has come from
humble beginnings and seen some
incredible highlights during the
past 35 years.
Beginning his career as a joiner,
predominantly refurbishing
and producing timber sash
windows, Mike quickly became
aware of how poor the quality
of hardware seemed to be in
the industry. With an aim to
right those wrongs, Mighton
Products was born, as Mike
explains, “Throughout our 35-
year history, Mighton has always
remained committed to continual
investment into research and
development and the company’s
growth. Our product ranges
have diversified greatly over the
years and following significant
investments we have expanded
into new areas, including
workshop machinery for our
professional joiners, such as the
Mighton X-Cut and Scribe-It
machines.
“Growth is not only evident
in our products, but our people
and premises too. The steadily
growing Mighton team is made
up of many long-standing
employees and we remain as
close knit today as when the
company first began. Investment
in our team has seen the recent
appointments of Marketing
Director Jim Herrington, who
is helping to take the Mighton
brand to the next level through
an updated website and new
catalogues as the product offering
expands, and David Lambert
joined the company last year as
Warehouse Manager. David’s
appointment came following
our significant investment in a
new on-site warehouse facility,
constructed to support and meet
our growing product range and
customer demand. Of course,
without our loyal customers
we wouldn’t be celebrating this
milestone, and we are proud to
work alongside such specialists
in the joinery industry, some for
many years.”
A customer of Mighton’s since
the early days is Malton-based
Norton Joinery, who believe
Mighton is a stand-out brand in
the window ironmongery market.
“Mighton do not stand still and
over the years have continued to
improve and develop products,
earning their reputation as a
market leader in the industry,
predominantly with their sash
window hardware,” explains
Director Mark Fairweather.
“With 43 years in the industry,
we like to think we manufacture
a quality product and believe
using ironmongery from Mighton
complements our product.”
