A Legacy of Craftsmanship: The Sash Window Workshop Celebrates Three Decades in Business
In a testament to enduring craftsmanship and unwavering commitment to quality, The Sash Window Workshop commemorates its 30th anniversary since its establishment on February 11, 1994. Originating from a modest converted pig shed in Ascot, the company has evolved into a prominent player in the industry, now operating from two purpose-designed workshops in Bracknell. Founder Richard Dollar, who remains the majority shareholder, reflects on the remarkable journey that has seen the business grow exponentially over the years.
The roots of The Sash Window Workshop trace back to a humble converted pig shed in Ascot, where it began as a venture specializing in the repair and draught-proofing of timber windows. Today, the company boasts over 80 dedicated employees and recorded sales of approximately £11 million in 2023, with a primary focus on the replacement of timber windows and doors.
A noteworthy aspect of the company’s success lies in its steadfast team, with several employees dedicating over half of the company’s 30 years to its growth. Loyal and committed staff members serve as the backbone of The Sash Window Workshop, contributing to its enduring legacy.
Recognizing the importance of delivering excellence in both product and customer service, the company has cultivated values that resonate with its clients. As a result, a significant portion of their current enquiries and orders stem from satisfied previous customers and recommendations.
To mark this remarkable milestone, The Sash Window Workshop has planned an event at Lords next month, coupled with a celebration for its employees later in the year. Managing Director and Founder Richard Dollar reflects on the journey, highlighting the challenges faced and the strategic investments made to weather storms like the recent COVID pandemic. Dollar emphasizes the company’s unwavering commitment to providing exceptional products and service, crediting the outstanding team of employees for their continued growth.
Looking ahead, The Sash Window Workshop aims to build on the success of the past 30 years by committing to increased investments in the coming decades. The vision is set on a future where the company continues to evolve, leaving an indelible mark on the industry.
