We’re pleased to announce that Specialist Glass Products has won the Eaton Smith Business of the Year Award 2020/21.
Over the past 48 months, we have invested over £6 million to expand and equip our glass manufacturing facility with the latest state-of-the-art machinery, currently allowing us to process, cut, toughen, laminate and curve glass up to 6000mm x 3210mm.
The continuous investment in high-tech equipment has effectively quadrupled our production capacity, ensuring that we can meet the requirements of larger projects, provide short lead times and produce bespoke glass cost-effectively.
With tremendous growth and development over the past 12-months, we were among eleven companies shortlisted for the Business of the Year Award after previously being crowned Business of the Month.
The award in Association with the Mid Yorkshire Chamber showcases the best businesses demonstrating innovation and outstanding contribution to Kirklees, Calderdale and Wakefield.
Deborah Melluish, Senior Partner at Eaton Smith and member of the judging panel said; “Specialist Glass Products is an incredibly impressive business that makes an important contribution to the region, not only in terms of employment but also in terms of profile. The judges were impressed with its commitment to innovation which has enabled it to compete for large contracts on an international scale. The investment that the management has put into the business is evident and some excellent decision making on their part has provided SGP with a very successful business and an exciting future.”
Andrew Taylor, joint Managing Director at SGP, commented on the award; “We’re so pleased that the judges have recognised our hard work and commitment to innovation. It has been an extremely difficult 18-months for the manufacturing industry, and we’d just like to say we are incredibly grateful for our hardworking employees and loyal customers who have supported us along the way.
