Double G24 Awards shortlisting for Morley Glass
)
Morley Glass, the UK’s leading manufacturer of made-to-order integral blinds has been named a finalist for two of this year’s prestigious G-Awards.
The company, which produces around 4,000 Uni-Blinds® units every week exclusively using the world-renowned ScreenLine® integral blind systems, has been shortlisted for the G24 Glass Company of the Year Award and the Customer Service Initiative of the Year Award.
In being named a finalist in these two competitive categories, Morley Glass is hoping to repeat its 2023 G-Awards success when it won the award for Sustainability Initiative of the Year in recognition of its pioneering post-consumer glass recycling scheme.
Ian Short, Managing Director of Morley Glass said: “We’re thrilled to be named a finalist for these two awards in what has been a momentous year for us. The new products we brought to the UK market in 2023 – many of which are exclusives – have proved to be hit, and our Uni-Blinds® Registered Installer scheme is going from strength to strength. This has helped to ensure our integral blind sales have continued to increase during 2024.
“We’ve also reached important milestones in our glass recycling service, which involves us collecting end of life IGUs removed by our customers and crushing them into cullet for the re-manufacture of new glass. We surpassed the 1,000 ‘energy years’ mark in terms of the amount of energy our cullet has saved – an energy year being the amount of energy a typical UK household would use in 12 months – and we have now saved the need for over 2,500 tonnes of virgin raw materials.
“I’d like to wish all the G24 finalists the very best of luck. Reaching the finals is a tremendous honour and we look forward to the awards evening in November.”
This year marks the 20th anniversary of Morley Glass manufacturing integral blinds, during which time it has played an instrumental role in the growth of this market. Today the company employs more than 100 people at its HQ and manufacturing facility near Leeds, from which it supplies bespoke integral blind units to window and door customers across the country.
