Solaglas Installation has, the company said, plans to develop partnerships with major players in the construction industry. The company, which has relocated to a 60,000 sq.ft. headquarters in Rotherham, is now more closely aligned with its parent company Saint-Gobain. "Our main competitors are owner-managed and there is a lot of risk around owner managed, whereas Saint-Gobain carries massive financial stability," he said. "We are finding we are being used a lot more for reassurance and stability, especially in high-profile contracts with governments and so on." According to Davy, the new facility will have a streamlining effect on the business. "There are a number of reasons behind the move. We've merged two parts of our business, the old reactive part and our contracting business have been merged together under an installation banner. Also, we've been growing over the last three or four years and outgrew our old facility. We have some ambitious plans for the future, so we wanted better and bigger facilities." Those plans include growing market share, Davy said.
