WORLDWIDE GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES FOR JEWERS’ ESAVIAN DOORS
At the beginning of February, the second Ryanair maintenance hangar at Prestwick, Scotland, was officially declared open by First Minister Alex Salmond and Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary. This is the second Ryanair hangar at Prestwick for which Bedfordshire-based Jewers Doors has designed and supplied its world- renowned Esavian doors.
The doors fit an opening 119 metres wide by 14 metres high and include fuselage cut-outs so that large aircraft can be accommodated. Jewers Doors also supplied the doors for a Ryanair maintenance hangar at Stansted.
Jewers Doors designs and supplies hangar doors around the world. Esavian doors were supplied for the Chinese Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) hangar in Beijing in a joint venture with a local company. The majority of the latest ‘superhangars’ in the Middle East and elsewhere built to accommodate Boeing 747 planes are fitted with doors by Jewers Doors.
The company continues to pursue new markets and has recently been awarded the contract to design and supply its Esavian Type 126 doors for the new THY Technic HABOM project in Turkey.

Jonathan Jewers, Esavian Director at Jewers Doors, says: “We have noticed a slow down in business in some parts of Europe recently as well as with civil projects in the Middle East. However, Jewers Doors operates worldwide and we are benefiting from new projects coming on stream in north and east Africa as well as the Caucasus region.”
INDUPART CELEBRATE THEIR 25TH YEAR IN BUSINESS
Indupart will be commemorating our twenty-fifth anniversary during 2011. Today, Indupart is the largest UK supplier of Sectional Door Components and Sectional Doors to independent installers and repairers, stocking 23 different types of Sectional Door Panels in four UK locations covering all major brands. This wasn’t always the case.
The company started in 1986 selling electronic door accessories from shipping containers in Manchester and Watford. At the outset, Indupart’s mission was to fill a gap in the door repair market created by major door manufacturers.
In order to protect their own repair businesses, the majors were pricing branded components at a level that made it difficult for independents to compete. That was their opportunity. The Indupart mission then was to supply quality components at fair prices that represented real value for our customers and to provide a level of service that would enable them grow and prosper. That ethos remains at the basis of the company to this day.
In 1997 the company moved to their present head office in Stockport. This provided them with 30,000 square feet of office, storage and manufacturing space.
New depots were opened soon afterwards in Hemel Hempstead, Bristol and Glasgow, so that they could get closer to their customers and provide a truly local service. Each site carries massive stocks and is constantly replenished so that they can supply most parts over the counter.
Robin Taylor, Managing Director
Indupart’s reputation has been built around the needs of the independent installation and repair contractor. A business only survives because it creates value for its customers and they have, over the years, attracted several imitators. Indupart welcome the competition because it challenges them to be better at what they do.
Although the UK’s economic future is tough at the moment, Indupart’s management and staff relish the prospect of the next 25 years.
