Avocet Hardware Ltd has continued to evolve as a sophisticated innovator, manufacturer and distributor. In October 2007 a successful MBO was completed, headed by Ian Jones and Michael Tuck. The company remains committed to delivering quality engineered products to the UK Window and Door fabrication market as well as its rapidly growing Multiples and Merchant Division.
Every step of the product cycle is handled directly by Avocet, including the manufacture of high quality products in our own factories in China which allow us the ability to service our UK markets with quality products at affordable prices. Our products are designed, developed and tested in the UK and our entire business, both here and in the Far East, operate to ISO 9001: 2000 quality procedures.
Avocet continues to lead the market through continuous innovation and evolution of all processes, from materials development, to the relationships with our customers; everything is constantly revisited and re-examined.
But at the heart of everything we do at Avocet, wherever our businesses are located, it is our people that remain our most important asset, for ourselves and for our customers.
