Ecoglass won Glass Company of the Year at last week’s G-Awards, which was held at the Hilton Park Lane, London.

The Norfolk based business was also a finalist in two other categories; Rising Star for Craig Hopper and Unsung Hero for Colin Sturdy.

Mark High, company director, joined Ecoglass in April 2024 and is said to have been responsible for refining the company’s direction, focus and output.

“When I joined Ecoglass, I knew the company and its people were something special,” he said. “This award is a testament to the dedication, talent and resilience shown by our team every single day, and it’s only the beginning.

“We’ve got grand ambitions for our people, products and customers in 2026, and this award truly is a marker to celebrate the legacy of who we are as we step into the future of what we’ll become.”

Throughout 2025, Ecoglass has been focused on amplifying its voice within the industry and strengthening its role in the local community, through charitable initiatives and sustainability-led partnerships, to dedicated customer account support.

One example is the company’s recent involvement with Rippleacts, a Norwich-based social enterprise supporting individuals who have faced long-term unemployment. Ecoglass contributed to the charity’s Employers’ Brunch in October, participating in open discussions aimed at rebuilding confidence and supporting pathways back into work.

The company is also said to have strengthened its customer relationships through enhanced account management and sustainability-led operational changes spearheaded by Craig Hopper, key account manager. These efforts have improved service levels, reduced the company’s carbon footprint, and deepened collaboration with local businesses.

Additionally, the appointment of Ian Snow as estimating and technical support manager marks another step in Ecoglass’s continuous improvement journey. In 2026, the company will introduce dedicated customer training to help clients better understand technical specification and product performance.

Pride and legacy

Joint managing director, Roger Middleton, shared his pride in the recognition: “This award reflects the unity of our people, culture, and commitment to doing things the right way. For us, success has always come from a combination of quality, service, and genuine care, these values have shaped Ecoglass for over 75 years and will continue to do so for years to come.”

The company specialises in the manufacture and supply of IGUs and processed glass, and combines cutting-edge technology with exceptional quality and reliability.

Guided by a sustainability-first approach and working collaboratively with customers, the team is said to provide tailored solutions that drive business growth and long-term success.
