Liverpool-based window and door manufacturer Warwick North West has been named Family Business of the Year at the Metro Employer’s Excellence Awards, celebrating its heritage of family ownership and management spanning three generations.
The award ceremony, hosted by television presenter Vernon Kay, saw Warwick North West recognised alongside major national and international organisations, including Morrisons, AstraZeneca, and the Premier League.
The Metro Employer’s Excellence Awards recognise exceptional British businesses. The Family Business category specifically honours companies that are innovative, successful, and keep family and community involvement at their core.
Established in 1998 by Gavin Johnson, Warwick North West has remained in family hands throughout its 27-year history. The company was previously led by Brian Johnson before his son, Greg, took over as Managing Director in 2021 and recently moved into the role of CEO.
“Being recognised as Family Business of the Year is particularly meaningful to us,” said Greg. “I’m extremely proud of our family heritage and forever grateful to my uncle for founding the business, to my father, who was an exceptional businessman, and to my grandfather, who taught me how to lead by example.”
The judges were impressed by how Warwick North West has maintained strong family values while growing into one of the UK’s leading window and door manufacturers with annual revenues exceeding £12 million.
Family remains at the heart of the business, with Greg’s aunt, brother and sister all working alongside him in various roles.
“While we’ve grown substantially over the years, we’ve never lost sight of the family values that make Warwick North West special,” Greg added. “The support of my family members who work in the business has been invaluable as we’ve navigated challenges and celebrated successes together.”
This latest accolade joins a growing collection of awards for Warwick North West, who were crowned G-Award Fabricator of the Year in 2024.
