Congratulations Wilson

Irelands first ever Lifetime Achievement Award, hosted and
presented at the Kitchen Retailer Ireland Awards Ceremony goes to Alwood’s Managing Director Wilson Briggs.

In 1961 Wilson Briggs came into the business having previously worked in an architect’s office for over a year. Going from the machine shop to the drawing office, and out on the road selling, from there management and everything that goes with that. With a list of firsts under his belt, such as:

.• First company to bring in and use fitted appliances in the uk.
• First to fabricate DuPoint Corian in Ireland.
• First to use pull out accessories, etc.


... all initiated by Wilson Briggs.

His position as the best known face within the trade has never
been equalled. Wilson has seen many changes within the
industry not least the level of competition but has managed
to successfully steer Alwood through the past decades
meanwhile growing one of the most respected companies
within the industry. So respected is he that many of his
competitors consider him a friend and many suppliers
(many retired) still connect up on a social level.

Wilson was once asked what is business about and he replied:
‘It’s certainly all about relationships – totally about relationships.’

From all his colleagues at Alfred Briggs (Alwood) Ltd:
Congratulations and sincerely deserved!
