A family-run window and door maker says it has opened a new growth chapter with a £2 million factory and head office move. TWR Group has shifted operations to a 65,000sq ft site in Hendon, Sunderland. Bosses say the base – which replaces factories in Hendon and Peterlee, east Durham – will strengthen the business’ market presence and create jobs, with two staff having already joined the firm. They add the move has allowed the business to buy new machinery and open a showroom and trade counter.
