Business of the Year, Growth Award and Innovation Award entrant – Comp Door

From a start-up team of 12 when it launched just under four years ago, Comp Door now has more than 95 staff and a £22 million annual turnover.

The Newcastle-under-Lyme based company has grown its turnover from £14 million in 2024, a 57% increase in just 12 months.

During the past year the manufacturing company has made and delivered 2,200 additional doors, taken on 26 new staff, added two vans to its fleet to cope with demand and invested in a new 17,000sqft facility.

Sales Director Richard Diliberto said: “This expansion didn’t happen by chance. It’s the result of a focused strategy and an unwavering belief that we can, and should, always do better.

“In just under four years, we’ve grown from a 12-person start-up into a 95+ strong team of skilled professionals. This is a testament to our empowering culture, strong values and reputation as a great place to work in the region.

“We invest in training, value collaboration and nurture an entrepreneurial spirit across all roles, because we know innovation is driven by people as much as by process.

“At Comp Door, innovation isn’t a department, it’s a culture. From the leadership team to the factory floor, we ask one simple question: How can we improve this?”

Innovations in the last year include an app-integrated system that lets homeowners check the locked status of their door in real time via a smartphone.

Comp Door’s SleekSkin finish is a ‘luxury skin’ that gives doors a handpainted look. It has also added a decorative glazing collection  and launched a new range of stainless steel door hardware and a new range of doors with modern, linear aesthetics.

Comp Door has entered the Business of the Year, Growth Award and Innovation Award categories of University of Staffordshire Business Awards.

Richard Diliberto added: “We believe these awards belong to a business that combines vision with values, scale with soul and momentum with meaning.That’s who we are. That’s what we’re building. And that’s why we’re ready to win.”
