OUR JOURNEY
Our Story
At TWSA Group, our story is built on craftsmanship, dedication,
and a passion for creating exceptional homes.
The Beginning
Founder and Managing Director Mick Townshend began his career as a Carpentry & Joinery apprentice before working at John Dearman’s hardware store in St. Albans.
It was during this time that he recognised a need for a specialist local company focused on high-quality doors, expert installation, and personal service.
Starting from humble beginnings on Beech Road, St. Albans, Mick launched “Er in Doors”, specialising in internal and external doors alongside architectural ironmongery. As demand grew, the business expanded and evolved into “The Door Gallery”, moving into larger premises while continuing to build a strong reputation for quality and reliability.
