OLDHAM-based Maxim Creative Group is celebrating 20 successful years in business.

The company, which designs, manufactures and installs shop interiors, was formed in 1992 by managing director John McCarrick and has Manchester City, Sketchers and Arcadia among its clients.

The company’s annual turnover is in excess of £8 million over 60 staff.

Mr McCarrick (66), from Rochdale and his fellow board members, son Peter McCarrick and Michael McVey, offer a one-stop shop for fitting out retail sites and expect continued growth over the next five years

Maxim has fitted out more than 400 stores throughout the UK and beyond over 20 years. Progressing from five employees in small premises in Delph, the company now operates from a 100,000 sq ft building in Osbourne Street, Derker.

“Service and reliability are key to long-standing relationships,” John said, adding: “We offer our clients a complete solution so they just have one point of contact for the whole process. We pride ourselves on never missing a deadline or going over budget. This ethos keeps our clients coming back time and again.”

Maxim hopes to expand into other market sectors, including leisure and hospitality, and is targeting a 15 per cent year on year growth over the next five years.
