Prior to the incorporation of the Company, David Net! Morgan (DNM’) and his wife, Lestey Morgan (‘LM’), had many years’ experience in the glass and glazing industry. DNM and LM had run a Company which was then taken over by a third party. The third party, however, stopped trading after 1 year, leaving a number of customers with incomplete works

Since DNM had been unhappy being an employee and wished to return to running his own business, DMN and LM decided to trade the Company, which had been formed previously but was a dormant Company Trading commenced in 1998 and initially was mainly completion of the works and orders of the customers let down by the third party
