Bespoke hardwood conservatory manufacturer David Salisbury has completed its move to new £1.25m premises at Highbridge, Somerset.
Wells constituency MP David Heathcoat-Amor will perform the offical opening of the 25,000ft2 factory and offices on a 2.2 acre greenfield site on May 31.
The design of the production flow through the factory has already increased productivity, putting the company on track to reach a £5.5m to £6m target this year compared to £4.5m in 2001.
New equipment includes an expanded spray finishing area complete with environmental control technology, and new woodworking machinery and production process facilities.
“We had been working under increasingly difficult conditions over the last two to three years as business growth started to outstrip our capacity to expand production.” |

Marketing and operations director Gary Edgecombe said: ‘We had been working under increasingly difficult conditions over the last two to three years as business growth started to outstrip our capacity to expand production.’
He says the company will now be able to achieve its growth ambitions, especially in the bespoke sector of the market, for the next five years.
