A massive congratulations! 👏🏼 to our OSExpress Manager Geraldine for completing a 100mile cycle on Sunday 3rd of September in aid of Eglish Football Club and Marie Curie Fundraising 🌼

After months of training leading up to this special event where all the hard work paid off, we just wanted to say how proud we are of your achievement 🚴🏽‍♀️🏁

Well done Geraldine!

Last Friday we hosted our annual Summer BBQ here at our factory in Benburb and the turnout was amazing! Everyone loved it.

All our valued employees enjoyed a freshly cooked BBQ with refreshments and ice-creams to finish. 🍦

Thank you to the team @huttons_butchers who prepared the delicious feast.

As we return to work today, we are reflecting on an amazing summer time and looking forward to our next one.

Thank you to everyone involved in planning this event. We can’t wait for many more!

 

On Saturday 6th of May a group of our incredible employees walked from Darkness into Light walk to raise vital funds and awareness for people affected by suicide and self-harm.

Our team walked 5K from darkness at Armagh Navan Fort into a beautiful sunrise which signified hope and allowed us time to reflect on loved ones that we’ve lost due to suicide and self-harm.

We would like to say thank you to all of our employees that participated in this meaningful movement and for all the donations that we’ve received for  the cause. Our team has raised over £600 for Pieta Darkness into Light Event.

We would like to give a big thank you to PIPS Suicide Prevention Ireland Charity for organising the event.

It is never too late to show your support,  if you’d like to help and donate please use the link below, all donations are greatly appreciated.

O&S Doors is situated in the beautiful countryside of Benburb Co. Tyrone, for this reason it is extremely important that we take the necessary steps to ensure that our 410,000 sq ft state of the art production facility operates as environmentally sustainable as possible.

Here at O&S Doors Benburb, we have a zero waste to landfill policy which means that all our cardboard, plastics, foils and general waste is recycled. Once all our waste is collected, it is then sold to a company that uses our waste to make reusable bottles, storage boxes and other household items.

All the raw materials that we purchase for manufacturing our kitchen doors, cabinet frontals and panels are sourced from certified, sustainably managed forests only. This means that trees are replanted as soon as they are cut down. We hold certificates from the (FSC®) Forest Stewardship Council® and also the (PEFC) Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification to ensure that we are purchasing our raw materials from ethically managed forests.

Our Environmental Officer and HSEQ Manager work together with company directors to ensure that our environmental standards are being
maintained and to ensure that we are making steps in the right direction for the future of sustainable manufacturing.

We believe that as an organization, with growth there is increased social responsibility. We aim to do everything that we can to preserve, recycle and reuse everything that runs through our production facility.

Our strategic sustainability goal is to preserve natural resources as much as possible for the future of manufacturing.

What a week we’ve had here at O&S Doors. 🐣

On Tuesday our offices organized among themselves a great Easter bake off. Each department baked cakes and treats in their own time and shared them over tea and coffee on their morning break.

It looks like we have some fantastic bakers on our team.

Then, we had the incredible team from J Hutton and Sons to serve breakfast baps as a treat for all 350 staff at our factory in Benburb before we break for the Easter holidays.

Our team in Manchester celebrated with hot sausage rolls which went down a treat.

Our team in Santry and Clondalkin celebrated with breakfast rolls and other treats for lunch.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all staff for their hard work in Q1 and we hope you enjoy some well deserved time off at Easter. 🐰
