Fife double glazing firm CR Smith has reported its seventh successive year of increasing sales.

The Dunfermline-based firm, which employs 289 people across Scotland, installs windows, doors and conservatories for the domestic market.

The firm recorded sales of £33.6 million for the 18 months to the end of August last year.

This is equivalent to a 12 month pro-rated figure of £22.4m (2016: £21.9m). Pre-tax profits were £197,000 (2016: £159,000).

Meanwhile, the company’s commercial arm, CR Smith Manufacturing Limited, which employs an additional 93 in Cowdenbeath, recorded sales of £12.4m over the 18-month period.

Pro-rated turnover was £8.3m and pre-tax profits £57,000.

Recently £500,000 was spent refurbishing the Cowdenbeath site.

Executive chairman, Gerard Eadie, who has run the company for over 40 years having bought CR Smith as a 22 year-old, said: “While replacement windows will always be our core business, the company is developing key markets for large, complex builds.

“Within the domestic market, our reputation for high quality living spaces, such as orangeries, is growing.

“At the same time, that expertise and experience is making an impact within the commercial sector.

“At the heart of what we do is our understanding of customer requirements and we can deliver a bespoke product that matches those requirements from our state-of-the-art Cowdenbeath factory.

“We continue to invest in the future with confidence.”
