Twin Design, owned by brothers Tully and Declan Gallagher design and manufacture bespoke joinery for a range of customers including hotels, universities, Leisure, office spaces and high-end residential properties.

Due to the rapid expansion of the business, which was established in 2007, Twin Design has relocated from Hamsted in Birmingham to a 13,200 sq ft unit on the Empire Industrial Estate in Walsall.

The £15,000 investment from Walsall Business Support will support the cost of the move, including the relocation of specialised equipment, new machinery and fitting costs.

The business currently employs 20 members of staff and is partnering with Walsall College to provide joinery apprenticeship opportunities.

Formed by leading local business figures to distribute funds collected from the legacy of Walsall Chamber of Commerce, Walsall Business Support provides grants to applicants who want funding for projects to enhance business life in the borough.

Co-Owner Tully Gallagher said: “The new premises will be configured internally to meet our needs, including office space for the directors, CAD designers, production manager, and a conference room for visiting customers and suppliers.

“We are delighted that Walsall Business Support were able to provide assistance. The process was straightforward with a great outcome. The new premises will mean that we have sufficient space for expansion as the company plans to double profits over the next few years.”

Walsall Business Support board member John Murray said: “We congratulate Twin Design on their new premises in Walsall. We are pleased to be able to support Tully and Declan with their move and plans for expansion.
