UK handles lead sales increases
January 2017

Telford-based door and window hardware supplier Winlock Security reports volume increases across all areas and production sectors in 2016, especially sales of the UK made window handles which increased by 26%, after putting on 3% in 2015.

“2016 hasn’t however been without complexity,” said MD Alan Parker, “The main difficulty has been the depreciation of Sterling and the consequent cost increases on many of the ranges we sell.

“Recovering all the cost increase is difficult and time consuming. Thankfully consumer confidence has held up reasonably well against this Brexit-effect, so our market volumes have remained stable. As one of the UK’s only hardware manufacturers we are also now considerably more competitive against our Asian counterparts than we were in 2015”.
