Glass Express Midlands has reported a 15% increase in sales in the first half of 2025, compared to the same period in 2024.

The company says this has been fuelled by its expanding delivery capabilities, operational efficiency, and new commercial contracts.

Serving both the residential and commercial markets, Glass Express Midlands currently produces an average of 3,000 IGUs per week, as well as processed glass, cut-to-size panels, and bespoke decorative and leaded glass.

“We have a clear growth strategy, underpinned by a rigorous investment plan,” explains Glass Express Midlands’ managing director, Arun Photay. “In the last year, our priorities were to invest in new machinery; shorten our lead times; and expand our delivery capabilities.

“Despite a challenging economic landscape and a competitive market, we have managed to achieve these goals, and it is a reflection of the hard work of our entire team that these improvements have translated into such healthy growth.”

To meet the increased demand for its products, the Birmingham-based business expanded its delivery fleet to accommodate a two-slot daily delivery service that reaches across the UK, with multiple weekly drops into London and Wales.

This upgraded transport infrastructure has improved reliability, enhanced customer service, and created a platform for growth in both residential and commercial markets.

Meanwhile, a brand-new £350k CMS Aura arrisser was installed to enhance quality and efficiency, and the achievement of Made in Britain certification has reduced the IGU manufacturer’s embodied carbon through the use of solely UK-sourced materials.

As a member of the Guardian Select scheme, Glass Express Midlands is also subject to regular quality audits and benefits from specialist technical support which has reportedly helped the business to gain a number of significant new commercial contracts.

“Growth is encouraging, but it’s only valuable if it is sustainable,” Arun concluded. “Our focus now is to build on these results with further investment, responsible practices, and a commitment to quality, customer service and flexibility that will carry us forward.

“It is by bringing all of these strands together that we can continue to grow while staying true to our values.”
