Expanding Gloucestershire manufacturer creates more than 30 jobs and rebrands

A Gloucestershire business has created more than 30 jobs and rebranded across its operations as part of ambitious expansion plans.

The Joedan Group manufactures aluminium framed windows and doors, and is part of the Conservatory Outlet - a national retail network of home improvement companies.

The family-run company, which is headquartered in Tewkesbury, said it had seen sales increase by 25% since the easing of national lockdown restrictions last year.

The firm, which will mark 35 years of trading in 2022, added that it was targeting a £25m turnover by 2026, and had created 32 jobs to help it keep up with demand.

The business already employs around 150 people at its five sites across the county, including its design centre in Bournemouth.

Following the period of growth and a £2m investment in new manufacturing and technology, the group said this month it would bring its three other sites in Winchester, Orpington and Newport on the Isle of Wight, under the name Joedan Windows & Doors.

The company's rebrand will include new internal and external signs; new marketing material; website; uniforms; and livery over the coming months.

Founder John Purcaro said: “The decision is the perfect opportunity to revitalise the group and will not only strengthen our commitment to our staff, but will also reinforce our continued investment, unique product placement and dedicated service to our customers.”

Joedan also owns a commercial glazing refurbishment division, which serves local authorities, schools, architects and building contractors.
