UK NEWS +VOX: EYG eyes further growth after strong year of sales
EYG has reported a 15 per cent rise in domestic sales during 2025, as the East Yorkshire-based glazing firm marked its 55th year in business. The family-run manufacturer, which produces windows, doors, conservatories, orangeries and garden rooms, said the increase reflected continued investment in new products, systems and equipment, despite challenging economic conditions.
Managing director Nick Ward described the performance as a standout achievement, noting the growth was delivered across all areas of the business. “To achieve 15 per cent growth in domestic sales over the past year, in what has been an uncertain economic market, has been outstanding and testament to our reputation,” he said.
Ward credited the company’s long-standing reputation, built over more than five decades, and a commitment to product innovation focused on security and energy performance, without compromising on design. “That reputation brings high expectations from customers, which you have to keep working hard to meet,” he added.
Operating from a 75,000 sq ft manufacturing facility, EYG has seen a number of regional and national competitors exit the market in recent years. Ward said continued reinvestment had helped EYG maintain its position and prepare for further growth in 2026.
The company also reported a strong year for its commercial division, which supplies and installs products nationwide for developments including hotels, schools, care homes and offices. That arm of the business secured contracts worth around £10m over the past 12 months, outperforming many rivals in the sector.
Among its high-profile projects was the glazing of the Monocle development in Hull, a distinctive, curved landmark in the city, which attracted praise and attention. EYG also completed significant installations in Yorkshire’s education and residential sectors, working with developers including Beal Homes and Mulgrave Properties.
Looking ahead, the firm said the commercial division will be central to its ambition to sustain growth through 2026. EYG’s performance comes at a time of continued pressure on the construction and home improvement sectors, with rising costs and economic uncertainty posing challenges. The company’s results suggest a resilient position within a competitive market.
Ward said the firm’s strategy of combining product development with operational investment had allowed it to meet evolving customer expectations while weathering wider market disruption. Founded in 1971, EYG remains headquartered in Hull, serving both domestic and commercial clients across the UK.
Why This Matters: The standout element of this story is the 15% growth in domestic retail sales. This comes against a widely reported downturn in the UK economy and the wider home improvement sector. The performance of EYG highlights two key factors that contributed to this growth. Firstly, investment in on-trend products is crucial for generating consumer interest, with internal doors and partitions providing a strong example. These products attract attention and are increasingly viewed by progressive firms as a gateway to additional sales. Secondly, the demise of competitors can have a knock-on effect, particularly at a local level. However, this success is not simply the result of others’ failures, but a testament to EYG running a profitable business and continuing to invest in its future.
