Topglass boost in the retail sector

Projects completed this month include glazing for Primark in Cork and for Next in The Telford Centre in England. This brings the total number of recent retail projects to 50.

The Toomebridge based company was acquired in 2018 by the McConville family, MJM Group and has been going from strength to strength. Best known for its specialist glass capabilities, the company has been working on driving growth in its other capabilities including multi-storey tructural glass facades.

Gary Lennon, General Manager, Topglass said: “We are seeing a real push towards high quality glass facades and finishings in the retail sector. There is a lot of noise about the difficulties facing the retail sector so we are finding the players in that market who are continuing to make an impact are investing in the visual aesthetics of their stores. There is no better ‘shop window’ that a high quality glazing system. This is similar in other sectors, including the car show room market. We recently worked with in a delivery team for the Donnelly Group on their stunning Jaguar Land Rover showroom where the glass is almost the most important material in the project.”

These retail projects have taken Topglass all over the UK and Ireland and as a far afield as mainland Europe.

Gary Lennon added: “Our team are highly experienced at delivering these major glazing packages and we already have several more in the pipeline for the remainder of 2020. It is fantastic to work repeatedly on high profile projects where end clients are household names such as Primark, Next, Dunnes and indeed the Donnelly Group. We look forward to working on many more retail projects in the future.”

Topglass is part of MJM Group, which also includes MJM Marine and Mivan.
