Award-winning fenestration distributor, Window Ware based in Bedford is embarking on a new phase following a management buyout (MBO) supported by Shawbrook. 

Founded over 30 years ago, Window Ware is one of the UK’s largest specialists in the sourcing, marketing and wholesale distribution of leading brand door and window hardware. The company had been owned by Arran Isle Group for more than 20 years. Following acquisition by ASSA ABLOY earlier this year, a decision was made to divest to current management by way of MBO. The management team’s in-depth experience and strong leadership has been instrumental in the success of the business to date and will play a fundamental part as they look to build for the future.

Following this pivotal event for the business, the Window Ware team is committed to maintaining strong partnerships with employees, customers and supply partnerships, with an ongoing commitment to furthering its reputation as a leader in the fenestration sector and growing its share of the market.
