Family-run business Hazlemere Windows has acquired new premises in High Wycombe after landing a finance package worth £1.3 million through banking partner NatWest.

Hazlemere Windows was founded in 1985 by Stuart Braham and his father George, who sadly passed away in 2006 leaving his three sons to run the business. Well known locally as an independent double glazing manufacturer and installer across South Buckinghamshire and Berkshire, the company has demonstrated impressive year on year growth and is bucking the trend by purchasing new premises adjacent to their head office factory and showroom on Cressex Business Park, High Wycombe.

The new 38,000 sq ft premises will be used to extend their manufacturing and production operation as well as improving their quality control. The company employ in excess of 75 people to work in line with their targeted £10m annual turnover and is set to create further jobs to work in line with their expansion.

The Hazlemere management team worked in partnership with NatWest to secure finance facilities for the purchase of their latest premises, which included costs for refurbishment as well as working capital.

Phil Walls, relationship manager at NatWest, has a strong relationship with Hazlemere and was fully on board with providing £1.3m to support their growth. The premises are complete and should be fully operational by the end of this month.

Stuart Braham, managing director of Hazlemere Windows, said: “When the Braham family started this business 25 years ago we never envisioned the rapid growth and the amazing support we would receive from the local community, which has undoubtedly fuelled our success and been the bedrock of our continuing business growth. We are very proud of our success and thank NatWest for supporting our latest developments. Having completed our initial move into our new premises we are excited about the opportunities this will present.”
