David Smith St Ives Limited provided doorsets with high levels of acoustic insulation, fire resistance and durability.
Established in St Ives in 1963, the company has seen extensive expansion, and their 10 acre purpose-built site in Marley Road, St Ives has allowed them to capitalise on their aspiration to become the eastern regions most comprehensive manufacturer and supplier of timber engineered solutions.
Naturally, on-going investment ensures that the very latest production techniques are implemented, but the company is keen to emphasise that these modern processes work in partnership with the skills and craftsmanship of their people - and the difference is clear to see.
David Smith manufacture and supply a wide range of purpose-made timber products for installation in many locations including residential developments, self-build homes and large commercial and public sector projects.
Their range includes roof trusses, staircases, door and doorsets and TJI joists and associated fittings.
Whether the requirement is for a bespoke staircase, a dozen door and doorsets, or roof trusses for an entire new housing development, David Smith provides a cost effective, specifically tailored solution to all of their customers, large and small.
Today the business remains a family concern, with Michael, one of the sons of the founder David Smith, being the Managing Director who is keen to insist that the company's customer focus remains the same - "we build long term working relationships with all of our customers, the foundations of which are based upon trust and mutual respect".
In addition, Michael's brother Stephen is a fellow Director who manages the transport and maintenance division of the business.
David Smith's products are supplied to a wide customer base throughout the UK.
However, they are particularly dedicated to working alongside their partners in the trade within the eastern region.
Testimony to this fact is the long standing business relationship that they enjoy with two of the regions leading housebuilders, Twigden Homes of St Neots and self-build specialists, Potton Homes.
"Our continued investment in personnel forms part of our strategy to encourage more local housebuilders and construction companies, large and small, to work in partnership with David Smith".
