This year we are delighted to be celebrating 20 years since the Glazerite Group was founded by Group Chairman John Hewitt and Managing Director, Jason Thompson. Fast forward to today and Glazerite now employ over 270 members of staff, who each strive to help make us the 'best in class' supplier for our installer partners.
On 29th February we organised an event for all staff and their partners to join us in honoring reaching this impressive milestone, which couldn't have been achieved without the hard work and dedication of our employees.
Our 20th Anniversary party was held at Sywell Aerodrome in the popular 20's style venue, just 10 minutes up the road from our Head Office in Wellingborough. The evening was enjoyed by all who attended, with the night consisting of a live band, casino, caricaturist and even a Krispy Kreme tower!
As a token of our appreciation for dedicated employees, we commemorated anybody that has been with Glazerite 15 years of longer, with an award presented by Directors of the Company. Along with the award, they were also given a £100 red letter day experience and a bottle of champagne to enjoy (many of which didn't make it home and were consumed throughout the night!)
Those presented with Long Service awards were:
Stephen Carr - 17 Years
Paul Canfield - 15 Years
Gary Craddock - 15 Years
Melvyn Farr - 19 Years
Clive Hampton - 19 Years
Lee Mayes - 15 Years
Martyn Peck - 15 Years
Jim Preston - 15 Years
Neil Ransom - 15 Years
Lucy Thorneycroft - 15 Years
James Westley - 19 Years
Marc Wilson - 19 Years

As we now look ahead to the rest of 2020, plans to develop areas of the business are continuing, with the completion of our North West division expansion, along with offering a broader nationwide reach thanks to new vehicles added to our delivery fleet.
