Able Touch Joinery Holdings Ltd, a well-established firm specialising in joinery, carpentry, and building services has been awarded a Business Development Grant by Blaenau Gwent Council.
The grant, amounting to £26,963.60, will be used to enhance the safety and productivity of the company's workshop through the acquisition of new ventilation systems and dust extraction fans.
Able Touch Joinery Ltd, based in Tredegar, has nearly three decades of experience and has earned a reputation for excellence and reliability, particularly in the niche market of purpose-made joinery for heritage buildings. The company also serves bars, restaurants, shops, and residential clients, providing high-quality building work and joinery tailored to meet the specific needs of each project.
The investment in new ventilation systems and dust extraction fans is essential for maintaining high standards of workmanship while ensuring a safe working environment for employees. These upgrades are particularly crucial as the company aims to meet the increased demand for its services, especially following the award of a significant contract involving the restoration of a large heritage-listed building, the National Coal Board (NCB).
Stephen Williams, Director of Able Touch Joinery Ltd, expressed his gratitude for the support received. He says: "This grant will enable us to continue delivering high-quality services to our clients while ensuring the safety and well-being of our employees. We are excited about the opportunities this investment will bring and look forward to further contributing to the local community".
Councillor John Morgan, the Council’s Cabinet Member for Place & Regeneration said:
“Able Touch Joinery are a very important, long-standing firm in Tredegar, and I am delighted to see they continue to prioritise the safety and wellbeing of their workforce whilst consistently producing the highly quality work we see in so many of our local buildings.”
