The ‘ outstanding achievement ’ shortlisting comes in the year that Morley Glass marks 20 years since it began producing

integral blind units with ScreenLine ® systems inside . Over two decades the company has grown under Ian ’ s leadership to become a £ 30m turnover business

employing 108 people and producing around 4,000 integral blind units every week .

In addition to being a driving force for the growth of the integral blinds market in the UK and working hard to help installers open up sales opportunities for these premium products , Ian has also pioneered a scheme to reduce the amount of post-consumer glass going to landfill . His widely acknowledged IGU ( insulating glass unit ) recycling initiative , developed in conjunction with Saint-Gobain Glass , has broken new ground by clearly demonstrating to the industry that the collection and re-manufacture of end-of-life double glazed units is not only viable but commercially advantageous .
