Jobs up for grabs as Ayrshire double glazing firm expands workforce

An Ayrshire double glazing firm is expanding its workforce with up to 28 new jobs up for grabs.

Andrew Wright Windows are on the lookout for joiners, window fitters, administrative workers, a domestic installations manager and production operators at their two specialist production facilities in Irvine.

The jobs will be phased in over the next two to three months. The recruitment drive follows a series of successful commercial contracts with leading housebuilders and increasing enquiries from domestic customers.

In parallel with the expansion of its workforce, the company has also recently committed investment approaching £1 million in state-of-the-art production equipment and new vehicles.

Charlie Berry, managing director, said: “We are experiencing a significant uplift in enquiries from householders which, alongside increasing success on the commercial front, has driven this growth in staff to its highest ever level.

"We have a fantastic team here at Andrew Wright Windows, it’s a great place to work and we very much look forward to welcoming new colleagues on board.”

Founded in 1937, Andrew Wright Windows is one of the longest established window manufacturing companies in the UK and one of Irvine’s biggest private employers, currently providing work for around 100 people.

The company manufactures double and triple glazed UPVC windows, with a current annual production capacity of 30,000 units. Customers range across the commercial, trade, domestic and local government sectors.

It has remained a family business for most of its 85 years history and was acquired by the current owners, the Berry family, in the mid 1990s.
