Europe’s leading door provider, Hörmann UK, celebrated its 40th anniversary in style last month by hosting a gala event at the Hilton Metropole, Birmingham, which was attended by more than 120 employees and distributors who were entertained by football legend, Kevin Keegan.
To mark the significant milestone of 40 years in operation, Hörmann UK hosted the evening as part of its attendance at the Homebuilding and Renovating Show at the NEC, where Hörmann UK was a main sponsor.
At the show, Hörmann UK exhibited its new range of sectional garage doors in Duragrain. This unique garage door comes in 24 printed finishes and is then specially coated to provide an ultra scratch resistant finish, helping the doors to remain in good condition for years to come. Also on stand was Hörmann’s leading range of entrance and timber internal doors.
As part of the gala dinner, Hörmann UK’s nationwide network of domestic and industrial distributors were invited to the evening to meet with living partner of Hörmann Germany, Christoph Hörmann, who shared an interesting insight into how the company was first started by his German ancestors over 80 years ago. Christoph also looked to the future, discussing the continuous development of Hörmann’s industrial and domestic ranges, including its first class aftersales and servicing proposition.
Wolfgang Gorner, Managing Director of Hörmann UK, said: “The gala event was the perfect opportunity for us to celebrate 40 successful years of Hörmann UK with colleagues and distributors who have all contributed towards the company’s success. The evening presented us with the opportunity to reward our team for the hard work they have put into the business over the years and share our plans for 2020 and beyond.
“During the event, we were able to share information regarding latest business developments, including our newly launched Training Academy and Showroom and upcoming attendance at the FIT Show 2019, which will be a company first. This will enable us to really connect with installers and fabricators throughout the domestic sector to showcase our latest innovations.”
Over the last four decades Hörmann UK has built a strong relationship with garage door specialists, homeowners, architects, specifiers, warehouse owners and construction professionals, reflected in its diverse and ever expanding product and service offering.
Wolfgang continued: “As the business continues to grow, it’s important for us to recognise the hard work and loyalty that has contributed towards this iconic milestone. We’re looking forward to continuing with the celebrations throughout the year and also celebrating Hörmann UK’s 50th anniversary in 10 years’ time.”
