25 Years Anniversary

RTR Services are proudly celebrating our 25th anniversary this month, marking 25 years in business since our incorporation on 19th November 1999.

Firstly, a HUGE thank you to all our loyal customers and suppliers. It has been a pleasure working in partnership with you all over the course of the last 25 years, and we would not have been able to do it without you!

We cannot overstate how grateful we are to all the staff that have worked at RTR Services during this time, and a testament to that team is in the total combined number of years’ service of the current staff which is an amazing 108 years.

We would also like to thank all ex-staff and directors for their input and efforts in growing RTR Services into the leading automatic door component distributor. From its earliest days operating in a garage, to its current multi-site operation in both Wakes Colne and Lichfield, the business has seen major developments.

In March 2021 we became part of the dormakaba UK group, but still retained our independent multi branding business model.

Our focus has remained on delivering great support and service. We always aim to add value to the products we supply, and have built a team of experts at our Lichfield Training centre and Wakes Colne Head Office around this ethic.

We are also proud to be active members of the Automatic Door Suppliers Association (ADSA), DHF, GAI & MLA.

The main picture shows the current team outside our Wakes Colne office along with Paul Wright dormakaba Senior Vice President, UK and Ireland (see if you can spot him!).

We are all looking forward to what the next 25 years will bring!
