Sep 2011 - Present
I set up Origin Middle East & Africa in Dubai in 2011, after helping to establish Origin as the UK’s foremost manufacturer of aluminium folding sliding doors. By insisting upon uncompromised quality and unbeatable service, Origin, from its state of the art UK factory, manufactures more folding sliding doors than anyone else in the world. The product range has been extended to include high performance windows, residential front doors and slimline sliding doors.
