Introducing John Day, our new General Manager!

With over 20 years of experience in the glass processing industry, John will manage, implement and improve all systems across the company as we look to go through extensive growth.

John brings a wealth of experience in production and management, having worked with glass manufacturing companies in his roles at Marrose Abrasives & Intermac UK and latterly at Cheadle Glass Systems as General Manager.

The appointment follows a flurry of recent hires, including a Health, Safety and Quality Control Manager, as part of our growth objectives to reach a record year of sales. John’s welcome also comes after numerous television appearances for the factory team, featuring on both Channel 4’s Grand Designs and BBC Breakfast in the last month, and award wins including being crowned the Examiner Awards’ Business of the Year back in March. 

Commenting on the recent hire, Managing Director Andrew Taylor says: “We’ve known John for many years; he’s meticulous, ambitious, strong-minded, and a real people person who is well respected and known in our industry. We are thrilled to welcome John to the team, and I am confident he will strengthen our existing management team and be an incredible asset when acting as direct support.”
