The group has acquired the assets, business and goodwill of Andrew Wright Windows following its sudden closure earlier this year. Andrew Wright Glass Limited and Andrew Wright Windows Limited entered provisional liquidation on 6th August 2025 with their immediate closure and the loss of over 80 jobs.

Following the acquisition, the business will operate within the Easton Group corporate structure but continue as an independent brand to preserve the continuity and heritage of its long-standing legacy in the Scottish glazing industry. The deal will also resurrect a significant number of jobs as the company resumes operations at its factories in Irvine.

Andrew Wright manufactures and installs windows and doors to the domestic market across Ayrshire and the West of Scotland. It was founded in 1937 and its heritage includes glazing the Kelvin Hall in Glasgow and being the main glazing contractor during the British Empire Exhibition in 1938.

The firm reglazed Belfast after the Blitz, and pioneered quality and innovation by introducing the Stuga automated high output cutting machine to Scotland.

Peter Easton, director at Easton Group, expressed his commitment to restoring the business.

“Andrew Wright Windows is a name synonymous with quality and service in Scotland, and its recent collapse was a huge blow to its staff and the industry,” he said. “We have been monitoring the situation closely and believe there is a strong future for the business, and our goal is to get it back on its feet as quickly as possible so we can retain and preserve its legacy.”

Steven Easton, director at Easton Group, said the acquisition aligns with the group’s strategy of investing in and developing good quality businesses.

“We see tremendous value in the Andrew Wright brand and its reputation,” he added. “We are confident that with our operational expertise and investment, we can resurrect the business and drive it forward.

“For us, this is not just a commercial venture, it’s about preserving a vital part of Scotland’s manufacturing heritage and contributing to the local economy. Andrew Wright traded successfully for many years under family stewardship, and we are proud to return it to family ownership and help it blossom once again.”
