Flexiteek and Wilks - Our Values

VISION AND VALUES

Throughout the last 50 years, strong values have been at the centre of the brand, shared with parent company – Flexiteek. This has allowed Wilks to provide products that have been produced with a passion for high-quality and first-class customer service. It has also provided us with a strong team ethos that has seen a high staff retention over the years. For example, the Wilks production facility in Tollesbury, Essex is a strong local employer with community ties to nearby charities and projects.

“Over the past 50 years of Wilks, its reputation continues to grow worldwide, the policy of customer care and service never waivers and the values of family and community will always be maintained.”

— Scott Berry, Joint Managing Director
