From the administrators' statement
The business began as “James Lister Plastics” in 1976 manufacturing and installing aluminium windows into hardwood sub frarnes. A few years later, it became one of the very first manufacturers in the UK of UPVC windows. By the mid-1980’s, trading as Lister Trade Frames, the business was supplying a number of tradesmen with windows for them to supply and install to their customers. As the business grew, it took on more staff, including Mark Warren as general manager in 1987, then Darren Pusey and Phil Warren a few years
tater.
In 1990 the business had outgrown its premises and relocated to Leek Road, Hanley. It was here that Lister Trade Frames began to sell various ancillary products along with the windows and conservatories. This developed over time into “the Big Trade Counter”.
