A St Neots-based roofing business has celebrated its 25th anniversary and says it company has been built on the motto 'where service comes first'.

AJW Distribution was set up in 1998 by the now managing director Alan Woods who has been in the roofing industry for five decades.

Following in his footsteps, are his three children and now his first grandchild Ryan, who all work for the family business.

His eldest son Gareth heads up the industrial team; Tom, his youngest son, is the company's sales director and, daughter Charlotte is marketing director. The team also includes finance director Kevin Patrick.

A company spokesperson said: "Where service comes first has been our company motto since we started, and we feel that this has always stood us apart.

"This attitude has made us stand out as the go-to roofing merchant, as the customer knows that our team will go above and beyond to ensure they receive the best service possible.

"We are proud to have some of the best roofing experts in our area, whose passion is ensuring our customers are looked after and receive the best service.

"As a company, we pride ourselves not only on the service we offer our customers but also on the way we treat our employees.

Managing director Alan Woods said he was proud of what the company had achieved over the last 25 years.

"The business has grown from strength-to-strength, surviving two recessions, covid and now into our third recession, but the business has never been better.

"I have enjoyed the challenge of developing my own business, and although there have been stressful times, it has all been worth it.

"To develop a business that employs 60 members of staff with an ever-growing team is a huge achievement and one I am very proud of. It wouldn’t be possible without our fantastic staff, making the business what it is today."
