Vickie Brown, finance director at Distinction Doors, said: “Since we formed in 2004, Distinction Doors has been going from strength to strength, now holding more than half of the composite door market share in the UK. We began talks with Lloyds Bank prior to a management buyout in January 2015 and they were happy to support and advise us even while they weren’t our bank.”
