Wilmslow Glass wins Master Builder Award

Family – run company Wilmslow Glass has been honoured with the Master Builder of the Year award 2005 for a conservatory installation in their home town of Wilmslow in Cheshire.

The award was presented by the Federation of Master Builders after the project, a ‘P’ shaped conservatory, was nominated by their customers – Mr and Mrs Goodwin. Around 3,000 projects were nominated and Wilmslow Glass won best conservatory installer in the North West of England. The judge’s decision was unanimous and they beat many larger companies. The presentation was made at a regional luncheon and the project will go on to be considered for the overall national award.

The company is a long time customer of Advantage Windows and Conservatories Ltd and was founded 30 years ago by the father of present owner Warren Thompson. He says: “I had no idea that we had even been nominated for this award and to win it was very gratifying. As a small family run company we pride ourselves on the quality of our work. We employ all our own staff and none of our work is sub-contracted out and so we can maintain control over each installation and adhere to the highest possible standards.” “The vast majority of Wilmslow Glass’s work is from personal recommendations”, says Mr Thompson.” We have built up a very large number of satisfied customers over the years and it is these customers who do a big part of our job for us by telling their family and friends how pleased they are with our work. I believe our success comes from our company ethic of team work, pride in our work and the insistence that we never leave a job unless the client is totally satisfied.”

Danny Hague, Group Commercial Director at Advantage says: “I would like to add my congratulations to Warren and his team at Wilmslow Glass on winning this prestigious award. Small, well – run companies such as this, who take that extra bit of care and pride in their work, are seldom recognised for their achievements. I am delighted that Wilmslow Glass has been honoured by this award and I wish them the best of luck in the national final.”
