The Gateways Story

Where we began

Gateways is a proud family-run business founded over 40 years ago by Terence "Terry" Bishop. A devoted family man, Terry built Gateways with passion, dedication, and a commitment to exceptional customer service. Alongside his wife, Debbie, he worked tirelessly to grow the company into the trusted and successful business it is today.

Following Terry's passing in 2025, the business was passed on to his son, Joe, who continues to lead Gateways with the same values, integrity, and commitment to quality that his father instilled from the very beginning. As a family business, we remain dedicated to providing a reliable, personal service and maintaining the high standards that have defined Gateways for more than four decades.

Family run

Gateways remains a close-knit, family-run business, with Stuart, who has been an integral part of the company for over 25 years, working alongside Terry's son-in-law, Tom, and Joe's wife, Leah. Together, they continue the family values and personal service that have been at the heart of Gateways since the beginning.

"Had the very best service from Gateway having been let down by other companies. I rang with the intention of making an appointment when an engineer, Joe, turned up not half an hour later and the gates were fixed in no time at all.
Credit where credit is due, I could not have had better service. Thank you"
