The only way appears to be 'up' for Amazing Lofts, the Banbury based company, which has grown strongly in its first year of trading.

The fastest growing loft storage specialist in the UK revealed it has broken the £1 million revenue ceiling in its first year, created more than 30 jobs, and is eyeing further strong growth over the next five years.

The company provides elevated boarding to transform loft spaces, while add-on services include ladders, hatches and Velux windows. It also offers energy efficiency improvement measures, including insulation, LED lighting and foil roof lining.

Neal Thorne, who owns the firm along with Kevin Baker and Richard Blane, said: "Our loft boarding solutions are a great way to optimise storage space in your home while investing in energy and money-saving measures including loft insulation and LED lighting.

"All the products are made from recycled materials in the UK where possible, and we are Which Trusted Traders, Government Trustmark Approved and Federation of Master Builders Certified. This means all our staff are fully trained and insured, with a lifetime warranty on all works and factory guarantee on all products."

Baker added: "We’re hugely encouraged by a strong performance in our first year of trading, we’ve built a strong, highly skilled team and our customer reviews are five-star.

"We’ve got a solid platform to build on and look forward to significant continued growth.

Blane added: "Our ambition is to become the market leader in the UK for sustainable loft solutions that make a real difference to peoples’ homes."

As well as Banbury, Amazing Lofts has depots in Bristol, Watford and Colchester to enable it to serve the south.
