25 years celebration - granting
wishes for seaside community
»»SWC, Scarborough’s awardwinning fabricator of Halo window systems,
recently teamed up with Yorkshire Coast
Radio to honour the community that
supported its first 25 years of service.
Local residents were invited to submit
‘wishes’ via a dedicated page on the station’s
website, where they were added to SWC’s
‘Wish List’. The company pledged to fulfil as
many requests as possible.
A family-run company, SWC has seen yearon-year growth since 1989. Susan Richings,
MD, said: “This has been our most successful

year, and continues a course of growth that
even weathered the economic downturn.”
The company’s 70,000 square foot facility
now employs over 100 staff. Perpetual
reinvestment has kept them at the cutting edge
of the industry, alongside their advocacy of the
Halo system.
Valuing partnerships has been integral to
SWC’s success. The Wish List was another
way for SWC to thank those that helped write
the success story of their first 25 years. Susan
said:“Prioritising the concerns of our staff and
customers has helped us reach this milestone.

They’re the best ambassadors for our products,
and we aim to keep them satisfied for the next
25 years.”
