In recognition of his commitment and achievements at the helm of the manufacturer of solid, secure and stylish composite doors, Stephen Nadin was recently named Managing Director of the Year at the 2024 National Fenestration Awards (NFAs).
Founded in 2013, the NFAs were created in response to a groundswell of support for an awards event for the UK’s fenestration and related industries that was both inclusive and independent. They remain highly significant and sought after due to the way in which winners are decided.
There are no judges or judging panels. Instead, the recipients of each award are chosen based on the votes of their customers, colleagues, suppliers and competitors using an online voting system. The NFAs are true industry awards judged by the industry itself.
Last year, Endurance Doors won the Composite Door Manufacturer of the Year award whilst this year, the business and several members of its team were shortlisted in multiple categories. This included Fabricator of the Year, Business Development Manager of the Year and Young Person of the Year. Stephen has held his role as managing director of Endurance Doors and its sister businesses within the wider Rocal group since 2003.
During this time, his vision and drive has helped Endurance to evolve into a highly recognised and respected consumer facing brand.
His focus on ensuring sustainable and long-term success has also resulted in a programme of continued investment back into the business and its team with a particular emphasis on succession planning.
Many of the individuals who voted for Stephen commended his entrepreneurialism and his leadership abilities, as well as his creative thinking and his steady stream of new ideas for enhancing Endurance and its offer.
Commenting on his award, Stephen said: “I am understandably proud to have won the 2024 National Fenestration Award for Managing Director of the Year, and especially as the winners of these awards are chosen on merit, based on the views and opinions of colleagues and peers.
“Success as an MD is always easier when you are the leader of a talented team, and I am fortunate enough to be surrounded by a group of professionals who are all exemplary in their fields and who share my passion for the Endurance Doors’ brand.
“Our focus now is to build on this and our other recent NFA wins to keep the business growing, evolving and improving.”
