Ellard 2025: A Year of Growth & Shared Success

As we reach the end of 2025, we want to take a moment to look back at what has been one of Ellard’s most exciting and transformative years yet. None of this would have been possible without the continued trust of our customers, the dedication of our partners, and the hard work of the entire Ellard team. Thank you for being part of our journey. 

A Strong Start: Launching the E-GDO-1000 

We opened the year with a milestone, the official launch of the E-GDO-1000 garage door opener. After months of rigorous testing, real-world trials, and refinement based on customer insight, the E-GDO-1000 made its debut. Smart, reliable, and built for modern installations. It has already become a standout success in our product portfolio. 

Carbon Literate Gold Accreditation 

In February, Ellard proudly became a Carbon Literate Gold Organisation. This was not just a certification; this was a company-wide achievement, years in the making. Since beginning our Carbon Literacy journey in 2022, our team has shown exceptional passion and commitment, and this accreditation is a reflection of our collective effort to operate more responsibly and sustainably. 

Two New State-of-the-Art Training Rooms 

This year also marked a huge investment in people, skills, and customer support. We completed the build of two brand-new training rooms: 

• A dedicated Garage & Industrial Training Room 

• A purpose-built Blinds Training Room 

In May, we opened the doors to both spaces and welcomed customers for hands-on training, product demos, and a chance to explore what Ellard is building for the future. These facilities are already becoming a core part of how we upskill installers and strengthen partnerships. 

A Breakthrough Year for Blinds

 

Blinds have been a major area of focus for us throughout 2025. We’re thrilled to have seen growth in a customer portfolio, exciting product development, and sales.

And we’re not stopping there. In 2026, our dedicated Blinds Expert will be out on the road, meeting existing customers, connecting with new ones, and supporting partners directly on site, continuing to build momentum in this fast-moving sector. 

Export Growth That Redefined Our Year 

Matching the success in blinds, Exports has been one of our biggest wins of 2025. Thanks to the hard work and commitment of Sara Smith and Fabrice Conq, we’ve expanded our international reach and grown export sales to new heights. Their effort has opened new markets, strengthened global relationships, and showcased Ellard’s capability on the world stage. 

A Successful Year for Large Industrial Door Motors 

2025 also saw impressive growth in the industrial sector, with an increase of 30% in sales of heavy-duty motors over 1000Nm since 2024. Specifically, our Direct Drive motors ranging from 1000Nm to 2000Nm.

Reflecting the trust our industrial partners place in Ellard, as well as the proven performance and reliability of our heavy-duty motor range.

We take pride in delivering solutions for a wide variety of installations, and it’s always rewarding to support our customers from initial specification through to final installation. As we look ahead, we’re excited to continue bringing ambitious projects to life and hopefully see another successful year.

A Thank You From All of Us

To everyone who has worked with Ellard this year, customers, suppliers, partners, and our entire team, thank you. 

Your support drives our progress, fuels our innovation, and enables us to keep raising the bar for the industry. Here’s to new achievements, strengthening partnerships, and another year of shared success.
