Our story

Then

Then

From the warm embrace of the Hickmott family home you can see the luminescent glow from the backyard shed. Home is where the heart is – and backyards are where dreams become reality.

As daylight fades to dusk, and dusk to evening, the light continues to shine. Inside, hours and hours of creating, adjusting and tinkering are bringing to life an engineer’s long-held vision.

Windsor is a company founded on innovation. The Kiwi can-do spirit is fundamental to the core business; from the very beginning, Windsor sought to go beyond what had already been mastered.

& Now

& Now

From humble beginnings in the backyard shed in 1984 to now, the Windsor story is one of family, craftsmanship and determination.

The backyard shed became an industrial premises, lacquering door knobs in the living room became a commercial spray booth and hand finishing handles in 20L buckets became a formal bronzing line.

What started as a vision has today become a significant player in the Australasian market specialising in bespoke hardware products for residential homes.

Charitable giving

We're a family business with family values and our compassionate culture reflects that. We support and encourage each other, we always treat others with kindness and we believe in integrity in business, community and corporate social responsibility. It's important to us not only support the people inside Windsor, but the people in our wider community too. We're proud to generously support various charitable, not-for-profit, education and public organisations listed below.


We also like to celebrate team members who have been living our values with the Monthly Value Champion where the winner nominates a charity for the company to make a donation to on their behalf. These charities have included the Cancer Society, Kids Can, Starship, Bellyful, Ronald McDonald House, Heart Kids and Riding for the Disabled. Many members of our team also participate in volunteer work and we have a "giving back" section of our annual wellbeing programme.

Inspired by community spirit and the gift of giving, the Rapid Relief Team (RRT) serves people with care and compassion in their time of need. RRT offers quality catering assistance and tangible support to charities, government and emergency services confronting some of humankind’s greatest challenges. RRT adapts their benevolent support services to meet the need at hand. Whether it be fire, drought or even a global pandemic, RRT volunteers bring hope to people in their time of need.

Many people think of hospice as just a building, when in fact it is a philosophy of care. The hospice philosophy places equal importance on the physical, spiritual, cultural, emotional, and social well-being of a person living with a life limiting condition.

Anyone with a terminal illness, not just cancer, can access hospice care and support. People with life limiting conditions such as multiple sclerosis, lung failure, motor neurone disease, or dementia can benefit from palliative care.

Whilst hospice care is primarily focused on the person who is dying, services are also for the family both before and after their loved one has died.

Everything is provided free of charge and heavily reliant on community fundraising.

The Southland Charity Hospital Trust was established in 2019 following the epic fight of Blair Vining: Blair was diagnosed with terminal bowel cancer in 2018 and, after discovering the inequities within New Zealand’s healthcare system because of the ‘postcode lottery’, decided to do something about it. One of the greatest legacies Blair has left behind is the formation of the Southland Charity Hospital Trust.

Founded by the community, for the community, the Southland Charity Hospital will provide healthcare for those living in the Southern DHB Zone who would otherwise be unable to access treatment through the private or public systems.
