Bradnam's Windows and Doors general manager Darrell Deacon said the group aimed to build on Conrel's excellent reputation for quality and service by bringing the strengths of the Bradnam Group to the Townsville branch.

Conrel directors Ron Woodford and Jim Meehan will take senior management positions within Bradnam's and continue to operate the Townsville business.

"As well as the ability to serve our customers better, it will also strengthen the economic prosperity of Townsville, as Bradnam's are committed to employing local people and supporting local business."
