High Wycombe MP Steven Baker tours Hazlemere Windows new factory/head offices during “official” visit

The “publically owned” Royal Bank of Scotland have kindly assisted with Hazlemere Windows Head Office and Factory expansion (by means of a commercial loan!), enabling the Hazlemere Group to consolidate all production under one new 38,000 square foot roof in Wellington Road, on Cressex Business Park, High Wycombe. Jim Heppell, RBS Director of Commercial Banking for Chilterns and Aylesbury Vale and Conservative High Wycombe Steven Baker MP visited Hazlemere’s refurbished Head Offices and Factory on Friday 22nd October 2010.

They were given a guided tour by Hazlemere Group Managing Director Stuart Braham and by Sales Director Tony Beale, both of whom have been with the family business for well over 20 years. The High Wycombe MP saw Hazlemere Windows CNC machines in operation and kindly took the time to meet several of Hazlemere Windows fabricators, as well as office staff. Given that the majority ownership of RBS is by the British Taxpaper, the bank are keen to show they are investing “our money” wisely, so brought Steven Baker MP along to show the sensible way Hazlemere have used the commercial loan to grow the thriving double glazing family manufacturing and installing business.

As part of their investment in property, the Hazlemere Group replaced the original steel single glazed windows in the old run down factory in Wellington Road, on Cressex Business Park with thermally efficient aluminium double glazed windows, to match the existing aluminium blue windows in Hazlemere’s adjacent 4,000 square foot home improvement showroom. By replacing all the existing windows and doors with high quality aluminium commercial windows and doors, not only is the premises more secure, better looking and warmer, it has added thousands of pounds onto the value of the site.
