  • What a year 2024 was! As we get settled-in to 2025, we’re reflecting on a packed and productive year. From on-site demos to site surveys and deliveries across the country, we’ve worked hard to keep our customers moving. A huge highlight was the introduction of the CVS FERRARI S.P.A. range, adding another high-quality solution to our portfolio and strengthening our ability to serve the ports and terminals sector. Alongside the day-to-day, we made time for team-building activities and supported some great causes through charity events, both of which reinforced the values that drive Windsor forward. A huge thank you to our customers, partners, and team for making it all possible. Here’s to building on this momentum in 2025! #YearInReview #MaterialsHandling #TeamWindsor #BringOn2025

  • Big shout out to our now qualified engineers - Byron Blackburn and Bradley Grant (Sleaford), Taylor Bedford (Hull), Dylan Brown, (Wakefield) and Daniel Huskinson, (Washington) ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Well done chaps! We’re delighted to announce that four of our rising stars have completed their final year course - Lift Truck and Powered Access Engineering Technician Level 3 Apprenticeship - officially becoming fully qualified engineers. For over 20 years, our apprenticeship scheme has been a cornerstone of our commitment to developing local talent and closing the skills gap in our industry. Each year, we’re filled with pride as new apprentices join our program and current ones achieve their qualifications, reinforcing Windsor’s dedication to investing in the future of engineering.   Senior Operations Manager Martin Brader, a time-served engineer who marked 28 years with Windsor last month, adds: "Seeing these apprentices qualify is a proud moment not just for them but for the entire Windsor team. Our apprenticeship scheme is more than just a training program — it’s about shaping careers, building confidence, and fostering a pipeline of skilled professionals who will drive our industry forward. Having been through the same journey myself, I know the determination and effort it takes, and it’s incredible to witness their growth. At Windsor, we’re not just developing engineers; we’re creating opportunities for lifelong success."   If you or know someone who wants to develop a career in engineering, we are looking for our 2025 cohort of apprentices based nationwide in our 13-strong branch network.
