‘ MORE THAN JUST A CHANGE OF ADDRESS’
From Chigwell to Colchester- across 45,000 sq ft …
Chigwell Window Centre( CWC), one of the South East’ s leading manufacturers and installers of high-quality home improvement products, is entering a bold new chapter with the relocation of its entire production and distribution operations to a brand-new, purpose-built facility in Colchester.
Clearview’ s Rob and Gemma were recently invited to tour the new Colchester facility and meet the team behind the move. The scale and ambition of the project were immediately clear— from the cutting-edge equipment being installed to the thoughtful layout designed for maximum efficiency, and some signature‘ Singh’ touches that anyone who has visited one of the showrooms will immediately recognise. More than just a change of address, the move represents a strategic evolution for a company already known for its quality, service, and forward-thinking approach …
For the past decade, CWC has operated out of the Hainault Business Park, with its four factories and distribution hub spread across multiple sites. This multi-location setup has served the company well during a period of rapid growth, but with demand continuing to soar, it became clear that a more integrated and scalable solution was needed. The move to a 45,000 sq ft building at Centurion Business Park will allow the company to consolidate all of its manufacturing and distribution operations under one roof; doubling production capacity, streamlining processes, and helping to significantly reduce its carbon footprint.
The relocation represents a significant £ 4 million investment by CWC. This includes the cost of the new building- twice the size of its previous footprint- as well as a major upgrade in machinery and production technology. The move is also expected to create new jobs, with the company actively recruiting to support its expanded operations and ensure it can meet the needs of its growing customer base.
Sunny Singh, Managing Director, commented:“ Despite the challenges faced by businesses over the past few years, we’ re incredibly proud of how far CWC has come in such a short time. This new facility is a huge step forward. Everyone at the company is excited about what the future holds. It’ s not just about increasing our capacity, it’ s about laying the foundations for the next decade of growth and innovation.”
Clearview is proud to be joining Chigwell Window Centre on this new chapter and looks forward to supporting the company’ s journey through future features, exclusive interviews, and industry event collaborations. With the brand continuing to push the boundaries in both product innovation and operational excellence, there will be no shortage of stories to share with our readers.
And, the team prepares to officially open the doors at Centurion Business Park, there’ s a palpable sense of momentum. The move marks a transformative moment for Chigwell; one driven by ambition, investment, and a clear vision for the future. Whether it’ s expanding into new markets, introducing advanced manufacturing technologies, or creating opportunities for local employment, Chigwell Window Centre is firmly on the path to becoming one of the
UK’ s leading names in the window and door industry.
Dean Floyd, CEO of Chigwell Window Centre, added:“ We’ ve expanded so much in recent years that we’ ve simply outgrown our current setup. We began looking for new premises in late 2023 to better service our ever-increasing order book and were fortunate to find this brand-new business park in Colchester. It’ s ideally located, directly adjacent to the A120, which will open up exciting new areas for us to target across the East of England. This move firmly cements our position as one of the South East’ s leading window and door manufacturers— and gives us the capacity to aim even higher.”
