Company History
George was a painter and decorator for ICI and in 1964 took voluntary redundancy and began to expand the business. He concentrated on the glass and D.I.Y. side until 1968 when he installed his first double glazed unit manufactured by Pilkington Glass.
In 1974 the business was moved to the Bull Ring in Northwich town centre, where we began to install aluminium frames fitted with double glazed units, the first concept in modern double glazing. The business expanded taking on 2 school leavers Stuart Davies and Colin Maguire who are still working here today.
The business continued to grow and in 1981 there was a need to move to larger more modern purpose built premises on Leicester Street, Northwich, which housed a large D.I.Y. Shop and glass trade counter, along with a factory where we could manufacture double glazed units and frames.
After 5 years the premises doubled in size due to the growing popularity of the glazing industry.
As the industry moved on we changed from making solely aluminium frames to the manufacture of PVCu products, which we still pride ourselves on today.
As Northwich Glass continued to grow it was necessary to move the business into a much larger purpose built building in 1994 just a few hundred yards down the road on Leicester Street, after Sainsbury's purchased the site to build a petrol station. Part of the original building is now Halfords.
The business is family owned and run. George Taylor retired in 1993 and the business is now run by George's 3 sons, Anthony Keith and Andrew and Kevin Bishop who has been with the company since 1964.
Sadly George died in May 2008.
As the company is in its 52nd year it has grown successfully through our commitment to our customers, providing the quality of products and service they seek and adding value for money they require.
