Jewers Doors

What Jewers Doors does

Jewers Doors Ltd is a UK-headquartered, family-owned specialist manufacturer of bespoke sliding and folding industrial door systems, operating from a 60,000 sqft purpose-built factory completed in 2021 in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire, with additional wholly-owned sales and installation offices in Dubai and Chonburi, Thailand. The company sells two principal product ranges: the Esavian brand of aircraft hangar doors (Type 126 straight sliding, Flatfold/400-FBR, 400-FTH top-hung folding) and the Phoenix range of industrial sliding and folding doors (Swift, Osprey, Kingfisher, Swift-SEW), supplemented by High Performance Doors (Acoustic 27-48 dB reduction, Blast Resistant 10-10,000 kN/m2, Samurai and Warrior Security) and Bespoke custom solutions. Engineering relies on AutoCAD 2011 and SolidWorks 2018 3D CAD together with purpose-written door configuration software and in-house panel pressing, wet spray, blast booths and powder coating capability.

Jewers Doors generates revenue through one-off equipment sales of bespoke-designed door systems, professional installation services (delivered either by in-house engineers or working with customer installation teams), and recurring multi-year maintenance, servicing, repair and spare parts contracts ranging from 1 to 10+ years. Pricing is fully quote-based, reflecting the bespoke nature of each installation, and contracts are typically secured through competitive tender on large infrastructure projects; more than 50% of output is exported, served via wholly-owned branches in the UK, Dubai and Thailand together with regional distributors across Africa, Asia, Australasia, Europe, North America and South America.

The customer base spans aviation (British Airways Fleet Support Unit at Heathrow, Farnborough Airport, ExecuJet at Dubai South Al Maktoum, Airbus Beluga hangars, Ministry of Defence at RAF Brize Norton, Presidential Flights Abu Dhabi), rail and transit (Etihad Rail Al Faya, Stadler Gosforth Depot, Transport for London Elizabeth Line Old Oak Common, Hitachi Doncaster, Sydney Light Rail, Lusail LRT), emergency services (London Fire Brigade across nine stations) and industrial customers such as Lok'nStore. The business was founded in 1983 by Nigel Jewers after his departure from Esavian, acquired the Esavian brand in 1987, transitioned leadership to his three sons Chris, Mark and Jonathan around 2004, and remains privately held with no disclosed outside investment.
