Granada Secondary Glazing Set To Create 17 Jobs

single glazed because of either cost or heritage restrictions. This is of course in addition to the countless number of commercial buildings within the UK that are facing the same issue.

“We were delighted when Mr Stafford agreed to put his name to a letter that we’ll be sending to Grant Shapps, Secretary of State for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy. This is a big moment for our sector.”

Craig went on to add: “In line with business growth, we’ve been on a recruitment drive for much of the last year. We currently employ 68 full-time members of staff, with the intention to expand this to 85 over the coming financial year. The expansion of our sales team is going to be crucial in maintaining success, which is why we’re currently in the process of filling three highlevel sales positions throughout the UK.

Granada Secondary Glazing will shortly be creating 17 new jobs. Sales soared by 40% over the last twelve months, the company believes the growth is down to an increasing number of people switching on to the energy and cost saving benefits of secondary glazing in homes.

However, Granada Secondary Glazing still believes Government can do more to incentivise homeowners to invest and invited local MP Alexander Stafford to tour its facility on Campbell Way, meet staff and explore ways where legislation could be changed. He also heard how the firm had invested £1.8m into new production equipment and IT systems since 2020 and how £1m has been channelled into its new secondary glazing solution.

“There’s so much talk about escalating energy prices, yet many households don’t even realise that they are missing out on a simple and cost-effective way of insulating their homes,” explained Craig Robertson, who joined Granada Secondary Glazing as managing director in February last year.

“We’ve had some outstanding results in the installations we’ve completed recently and wanted to get the ear of Government to see if there was a way that secondary glazing could enjoy similar incentives and grants that other home improvement products receive.”

He continued: “With this in mind, we invited Alexander Stafford MP to have the conversation, so that he fully understood the thermal benefits of our products and what this translates to in pound notes.

“A conservative estimate indicates that up to 3 million homes across the country remain

“Everyone is focused on an incredibly ambitious growth target of £15m by March 2026, which would see us double turnover in just four years – boosting Yorkshire’s manufacturing scene and helping hundreds of homeowners to save on their energy bills in the process.”

Alexander Stafford, MP For Rother Valley, concluded: “It was fantastic to visit Granada Secondary Glazing, an innovative and fast-growing business right in the heart of my constituency of Rother Valley. The company is manufacturing a product that could potentially drive down everyone’s energy bills, and I hope that my visit can generate some interest in secondary glazing amongst local residents. I’m extremely grateful to the team for organising this visit and for the opportunity to see the factory in action.”
