Family Ties

December 9, 2021April 1, 2019 by Paramount Digital

By definition – we’re not your typical family business. Think of a family business and you might consider a business run by two siblings or a husband and wife team. At Abbott-Wade you’ve got a dig a little deeper to see just how deep the roots of this family tree really go.

In addition to the the Abbott-Wade family, the branches of the family tree have now spread even wider. When Designer Chris Davies told us he’d like to bring his son Max on board we knew that it was a great idea. Chris has been working in the staircase industry for many years meaning Max has grown up in and around the world of staircases and so it was only natural that he should follow in his fathers footsteps. Better still, Max can readily utilise the wealth of experience and knowledge gained by Chris.

Are you looking to refresh and modernise your home? A staircase renovation can transform your flight and bring a rejuvenated feel to the entire property. After all, stairs are more often than not the first thing people see when they enter a house.

Here at Abbott-Wade, we have been performing staircase refurbishments since the 1990s. Our contemporary staircases can help to bring to modern touch to your home regardless of its age or style. Modern staircase designs usually include glass combined with various other materials such as timber and steel.

Each glass staircase panel we use is 10mm Pilkington glass that has been toughened to provide a safe, yet stunning look.

Born Survivor & The Stroke Society

December 9, 2021March 1, 2019 by Paramount Digital

We’re a Family Business which means that even though we’re not all related we look after our own as if we were. We were shocked and saddened when a very good friend and colleague was afflicted with a stroke earlier this year. A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is cut off and can cause severe long term damage.

We have been inspired by his grit and determination to recover and overcome the effects of this stroke. In tribute to his heroic efforts members from all departments of the team; fitters, office staff, designers and directors will be participating in a gruelling Born Survivor event and are preparing to run, climb, haul, leap, slide and crawl through the wet, muddy and muscle sapping course.
