Their reputation grew quickly and by 1973 were able to purchase a new office in Bank Lane, Tredegar.
Central heating installations continued to fuel the company's success and by 1989 the partners also identified the need for a place where local trades could purchase boilers and parts. The company bought a larger premises and set up Wil-Mor-Wil’s first trade counter in that year - a service which continues to attract trade from a wide area.
Growth
The next ten years saw further growth and by 1999 the company was employing over twenty five full-time staff. A new building was also acquired which gave the company a two floor showroom, displaying fires and surrounds as well as retaining a trade counter and warehouse space.
End of an Era
The original partners had by now built up one of the most successful central heating businesses in South Wales with over thirty years experience and felt the time was right to move on to other things.
New Owners
In April 2000 the Company was bought by the present owners of Steven and Tanya Greenland. Steady growth continued both in sales and in winning major servicing and installation contracts in the public sector. The intervening years have seen substantial investment in training all staff to the highest level and in improving infrastructure and working practices.
Relocation
In August 2007 Wil-Mor-Wil relocated to its current, newly-built premises in Ebbw Vale. Their new headquarters now provides substantial warehousing combined with a new office complex, a trade counter and purpose built training facility. This has enabled the company to provide in-house training where health and safety advisors hold tool box talks on a daily basis. A range of central heating boilers are installed at the training facility which has proven invaluable in the development of fault diagnosis and repair standards and in keeping operatives’ technical knowledge and ability up to the minute. Further training is provided to all its apprentices as an extension to the experience gained by college attendance.
Family Run
With a total staff of over seventy people and a fleet of over 40 vehicles, Wil-Mor-Wil is still a family run business priding itself on the highest quality of work, competitive prices and consistently friendly service.
