Aluminium windows and doors manufacturer to expand manufacturing capacity with £2 million investment

Window Supply Company (WSC), a manufacturer of aluminium windows, doors, PVCu and conservatories, has received a £2 million equity investment from BGF. The company aims to use this investment to expand its manufacturing capacity three-fold over the next five years.

Window Supply Company manufactures products from its Livingston facility and supplies to builders, joiners and window installation companies across Scotland. 

Chief Executive Duncan Murray said:  “Our trade counter model and the high standards we demand when it comes to quality and service have combined to help us gain strong market traction in a short space of time. There has been an increasing market shift towards trade as the primary route to market for windows, doors and conservatories and the response we have received from customers has given us the confidence to embark on this ambitious expansion plan.”

Executive Director Ron Hepburn commented: “From a standing start less than a year ago, the business has achieved strong revenues and we are forecasting that demand will almost double within the next 18 months. We believe there is significant opportunity to replicate our business model in other geographies. To deliver on this growth potential the business needed investment and we are delighted to have secured this funding from the team at BGF.”

Patrick Graham, head of Central Scotland & Northern Ireland at BGF, said:  “WSC is a relatively young company but its founders and management team have vast amounts of experience and an established track record of growing businesses in this sector. We know from working with them previously that Duncan, Ron and Martin have a clear focus on providing high quality in both their products and their customer service and we are excited by the prospects for the future growth of the company.

"The team has set ambitious but achievable growth plans to replicate its model across a broader geography and we are delighted to be providing the funding and support to execute them.”
