35 YEARS AND COUNTING
2023 sees GEZE UK celebrate another milestone in the company ’ s history – 35 years in business , and in that time the company has grown and developed hugely .
Formed in 1988 , GEZE UK was the second subsidiary to be established by German parent company , GEZE GmbH , following GEZE France . Based in Chelmsford , Essex , the company started trading mainly in the distribution of door closer products .
Recognising a gap in the UK market , a new division was set up in 1997 , in Tamworth , Staffordshire to concentrate on the provision of complete automatic door solutions from design to installation and including technical advice and guidance on building regulations .
By 2003 , GEZE UK had outgrown the Chelmsford office and the decision was taken to merge it and the Tamworth operation into new purpose-built premises at Fradley Park in Lichfield , Staffordshire .
In 2008 the first service office was set up followed by a further 6 offices throughout the UK . The Scottish office , near Glasgow , is a full service provider for the Scottish market , dedicated to the specification , installation and service of automatic doors .
Kaz Spiewakowski , MD of GEZE UK , said “ During my 10 years at GEZE UK I have
seen many changes and challenges including Brexit , the Covid pandemic and a recent cyber-attack . As a company we have shown fantastic resilience and the ability to all pull together in difficult circumstances .
From a handful of staff in the early days to over 250 today , the company would not have developed as it has without their expertise , determination and dedication .
As we look to the future we continue to focus on offering the very best customer service , as well as managing issues such as product certification , sustainability and fire safety . We also look to ‘ give back ’ through our corporate social responsibility programme ”.

TIMBER WINDOWS AND DOORS IN WEST LONDON
The Sash Window Workshop specialise in traditional timber windows and doors , offering installation and draught proofing services across London and Southern England and a supply only service nationwide .
The company were contacted regarding a project in West London . The work was done in stages , with the initial quote for one new casement window and to replace the sashes ( the moving parts ) in two windows .
Excellent attention to detail was required to ensure that they matched the style of the property and that the new sashes would operate smoothly within the existing window frame . The windows also needed to be double glazed .
After the customer decided to proceed , the new joinery was manufactured in Berkshire by The Sash Window Workshop . The windows were installed by the company ’ s fitting team and draught proofed to further improve energy efficiency .
The customer was very happy and decided to place four more orders for a complete new French door and new sashes in 7 box sash windows and 2 large bay windows .
After the work was complete , the customer commented that it is “ always a pleasure to deal with The Sash Window
Workshop . Personable and considerate staff . High quality workmanship .”
