Why this family business is proud to be backing the Best of South Tyneside Awards

Warmseal, a company that provides double glazing, doors and conservatories, has come on board as a sponsor of the Gazette’s annual awards once again.

As a business which serves the community of South Tyneside and the North East as a whole, Warmseal has said it is proud to be helping to recognise those in the borough who go above and beyond to make a positive difference.

The company is merged with UTS Engineering Group, which is also supporting the Best of South Tyneside Awards.

Warmseal sales manager, Will Parkin, said: “At Warmseal we are a local family-owned home improvement company and very proud of the part we play within the local community both in South Tyneside and the whole of the North East.

“Our product and service reflect the ethos of the business and we feel these awards are a perfect reflection of this culture.

“The nominations are a true inspiration to us all and we are delighted to sponsor the awards.”
