Our History
Our story begins with one man, a vision, and an unshakable drive to create something meaningful.
In 1981, Balbinder Singh Nagra left school at a time when the UK was facing one of its toughest economic periods. Unemployment was high, opportunities were scarce, and the country was deep in recession. But rather than be discouraged, Balbinder chose to carve his own path.
What began as a simple hobby soon grew into a passion. By 1983, at just 19 years old, Balbinder had turned that passion into a small business, working from the garage of his family home in Telford. With the help of a government allowance scheme and a few basic entry-level machines, he began taking on small projects — most of them coming through the support of family and friends who believed in his craftsmanship.
As his confidence and ambition grew, so did his vision. On May 15th, 1986, Balbinder made the bold decision to relocate to Wolverhampton, setting up his first official workshop and bringing his machinery along with him. His goal was to work alongside local contractors involved in the city’s regeneration projects during the late 1980s.
However, success didn’t come easily. Struggling to attract attention from contractors, Balbinder decided to take matters into his own hands — quite literally. He built a small sample door, loaded it onto his push bike, and cycled around Wolverhampton, personally showcasing his work to anyone willing to take a look.
That determination opened the first doors to success — quite fittingly. His persistence earned him his first two major clients, Mathorn Construction and Three Pines, supplying them with high-quality timber windows and doors.
By 1991, the business had outgrown its modest workshop, leading Balbinder to move into a factory — the very same location where we proudly continue our operations today.
