ali, timber and glass
16th May 2017

A new £16million-sales window group claiming to be the first in Scotland to manufacture, timber, aluminium, PVCu and glass products for trade and commercial customers was announced this week.

The Saveheat Group has been created by the consolidation of Merlin Network (Scotland) along with the formation of Blairs Aluminium Systems, Blairs Timber Windows and Saveheat Glass.

Behind the move are two familiar industry names, Alex Gray, photographed, right, as Managing director and Colin Torley, Sales and Operations Director.

Alex explained: "The exciting new group set-up acknowledges that we can now provide a much wider set of options to our customers. By offering timber, aluminium, PVCu and glass, we have become the first company in Scotland to manufacture the four fundamental materials in the window and glass industries to our customers.”

Colin added: “As we are unifying four incredibly strong brands in a clear, revitalised group, we believe it will enhance business opportunities in the whole of the United Kingdom, as well as boost the experience of our customers as they can now utilise our far-reaching group expertise.”

The group employs 150 staff across four manufacturing locations in the central belt of Scotland.  It has a current turnover of over £16million.  It delivers window and glass solutions for a variety of contractors, architects, builders and trade customers, ranging from bespoke arch-fronted timber windows for the Apple store in Buchanan Street, Glasgow, an office development in Harley Street, London, a £250,000 aluminium and glass project for a large customer in Oxford Street, London through to a £150,000 aluminium and glass project for an animal house in Flamingoland in North Yorkshire to PVCu  window solutions for trade installers and housing associations throughout Scotland.
