My father, Lionel Pyke, who has died aged 92, was the owner and director of the glazing company Cadogan Glass, based in Battersea, south-west London.
In his early working days he had been an estate agent, industrial glove salesman and locksmith before setting up Cadogan Glass in the late 1970s. Operating from a premises on Battersea Park Road, over the years it grew by serving local households and businesses, and providing specialist glazing and mirror work for many luxury hotels in central London.
