Ebor restructures to advance

The principle changes have been in the restructuring of the business and the creation of a new board of directors, following the retirement of all but one of Ebor’s previous board. The company is now wholly owned by its four directors, Managing Director, Stephen Boocock; Finance Director, Jonathan Whitely; Stone Division Director, David Beckett and Glass Division Director, Simon Boocock whilst Robert Wivell remains as Group Chairman.

These major changes have all had a positive effect on the performance and continuing success of Ebor. The company says it is performing stronger than ever and forecasts show a greater growth in turnover and profits.

The main benefactors from the changes are Ebor customers, who are experiencing improved customer service, an increase in product ranges and choice and, as Ebor is operating at a greater level of efficiency, customers are also benefiting from more competitive prices.

Out of the restructuring, two companies have emerged under the collective umbrella of a single holding company, Ebor Group Holdings Ltd. The two companies comprising the group are Ebor Equipment Limited, the major trading arm of the group and Ebor Machinery Ltd.

Throughout this period of change, Ebor has continued to thrive and develop. ‘It has not been all plain sailing. The major restructuring of any organisation has its difficult moments,’ says managing director Stephen Boocock ‘ but it was the right course to take and our actions are proving to be the correct ones. The business is now wholly owned by the directors and we now have full control of a leaner, stronger business that customers and suppliers are already benefiting from, as we move forward and grow at a more rapid rate than we could ever have envisaged’.

New products available include a new range of fittings, glass door/shower hinges and balustrade clamps for internal and external use. In addition, a new soft light system, which eliminates ‘glare’, making the scratch inspection of glass/double glazed units much more efficient, and a larger high quality portfolio of diamond tooling, are amongst Ebor’s exciting advances. As a result, the company is attracting more customers and developing additional business from existing customers through the introduction of such new products and services.
