7THINGS... 5) THE WORLD’S FASTEST LEAD TIME Origin is the only company in the world to manufacturer a bespoke product with no lead time. This zero lead time capability means it can manufacture and deliver high quality bespoke doors more quickly and efficiently than anyone else in the market. 6) LEGO DESIGNED MANUFACTURING 4) CHAMPIONING INSTALLERS AND PARTNERS Origin has made significant investment towards supporting and championing installers and partners. In addition to sales, marketing, installation and aftersales support, the company has launched several publicity campaigns which champion the hard work of professionals. From industry research into the average ‘Builder’s Lot’, supported by TV tradesman Craig Phillips, to working with ‘Handy Andy’, Andy Kane, in revealing amazing things that tradesmen have done for their customers, Origin continues to fly the flag for installers. In 2012, Origin implemented a production strategy that applies the principles of Dr Goldratt’s Theory of Constraints to a manufacturing model, using a Lego prototype to see exactly how it would all come together. Origin’s unique and industry leading ‘Your Lead Time, Not Ours’ promise on the bi-fold door transformed the way the market views delivery times. It allows partners to cater for projects on tighter timescales, helping win more orders and increase customer service levels, supporting their business growth and profitability. This also means orders can be left later, helping with payment schedules and aiding project turnaround to keep the end users and installers happy. Origin still boast a 100 per cent success rate on its delivery promise. 7) WE ARE FAMILY Despite being a £30 million turnover business with operations in the UK, Dubai and America, Origin remains a family business, keeping this at the centre of everything that it does. The company was started by cousins, Neil Ginger and Victoria Brocklesby and, even now with over 270 employees, the family business is still going strong, with over 30 per cent of the workforce related in some way, shape or form. Origin is the UK’s leading manufacturer of bespoke aluminium bi-folding and residential doors, premium quality windows and made- to-measure blinds; complementary products that make up the Origin Home range. www.origin-global.com C L E A RV I E W-U K .
