What Anglian Architectural does

Anglian Architectural Ltd is a UK-based building envelope contractor founded in 2002 by Trevor Kirby and headquartered in Great Massingham, Norfolk, with a secondary office in Newmarket. The firm designs, manufactures, and installs aluminium curtain walling, rainscreen cladding, aluminium windows and doors, and rooflights for commercial, retail, education, and hospitality projects, primarily in London and the East/Southeast of England. Delivery is based on certified system platforms from Schücco, Reynaers, Aluprof, Wicona/Technal, and Senior Aluminium Systems, with in-house fabrication and a solar-powered manufacturing facility. The company also operates an IGC (Isaacs Glass Company) sub-brand for smaller Special Works projects from £5,000 to £500,000.

The business operates a project-based B2B contracting model, securing work through direct engagement with main contractors, developers, and property owners, and delivering integrated design, procurement, manufacture, project management, and installation under single-point accountability. Revenue is essentially one-time and contract-driven, with notable trophy assets including 40 Broadway (130,000+ sq ft, BREEAM Excellent/WELL Platinum), Alder Castle, One Great St Helens, Park Lane Mews Hotel, IKEA Coventry, AELTC Wimbledon Media Pavilion, and LSHTM. The firm maintains 19 consecutive years of ISO 9001/45001/14001 certification, Constructionline Gold, CHAS, SSIP, FIRAS fire safety, and 2025 BSA Assessment clearance for both Standard Construction and Higher Risk Buildings (18m+ / 7+ storeys).

Concentration is moderate, with a visible portfolio skewed toward London commercial office refurbishments and new builds. Notable customers include 40 Broadway, Alder Castle, 10 Greycoat Place, Park Lane Mews Hotel, IKEA Coventry, Beaumont Hotel, Royal Holloway University, and LSHTM. With ~40 employees and no public revenue disclosure, indicative revenue is in the £10M–£25M range, supported by FY2025 contract cadence (40 Broadway, 17a Curzon Street, Finsbury Square, Park Lane Mews).
