A family-run manufacturer of doors has expanded outside of Yorkshire for the first time with a new base near Coventry.
Bradford-based Excel Composite Doors has moved into Unit 6 at Henley Road Industrial Estate, creating 12 jobs in the process. The 10-year lease at the location on the outskirts of Coventry will see Excel set up a factory and showroom.
The firm, formed in 2013, uses computer numerical control (CNC) machines to create composite doors to exact specifications. Its range of doors include traditional and contemporary styles.

Taran Panesar will run the factory, while Mandy Dehele will run the office. Managing director Sunjeet Singh Panesar said: “This is a great opportunity for us to expand our business and bring our niche services to the region.
“Henley Road was the perfect location for us as it is right off the M6 and other motorway connections nearby, which will enable us to serve our customers across the country.”
The company is one of two to sign up to expansion plans at the Henley Road site, with traffic management supplier SRL Traffic Systems also taking on a new 4,300 sqft unit, in addition to its existing unit on the site. Louis Washington-Smith, asset director at property investment company The Wigley Group, said: "It is fantastic news to have Excel and SRL sign up in quick succession.
"These units were only vacant for a short amount of time after our previous tenants moved out, so for them to be snapped up so quickly reflects the strong market demand for commercial property in this area at the moment. We look forward to helping both tenants with their exciting expansion plans here in Coventry."
