PSV GLASS LLP

What PSV GLASS LLP does

PSV Glass & Glazing Limited (trading as PSV Glass) is a UK-based specialist glass distributor and installer focused exclusively on passenger carrying vehicles — buses, coaches, rail vehicles, and motorhomes. Founded circa 1996 and headquartered in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, the company operates six strategically placed distribution and installation centres covering the UK and Ireland. Its core offering is a dual-stream service: a distribution business holding what the company describes as Europe's largest stock of automotive glass with 63,000 unique part number references, and an installation business delivered by what it claims is the UK's largest team of specialist glazing technicians operating on a rolling 24-hour shift pattern to provide a genuine 24/7 service year-round.

The business is built around three operational pillars: (1) breadth of inventory (63,000 SKUs, including the UK's largest stock of A Class motorhome windscreens); (2) a distributed service network of six centres enabling rapid response; and (3) an in-house training and skills centre developing the technician workforce. An ancillary fully managed insurance claims handling service with direct billing to the UK's leading coach and motorhome insurers provides a third revenue stream and an embedded channel for insured fleets and owners.

PSV Glass is a privately held UK limited company with no disclosed external institutional investment, parent company, or subsidiary structure. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting fleet operators across the four named verticals, supplemented by referral flow from insurer partnerships. The company has no disclosed patents, awards, certifications, API platform, AI/ML capabilities, or named customer logos in the available source data, and its reported headcount of 17 likely reflects only the corporate entity rather than the full field technician workforce across the six centres.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Regional players

• Speedy Glass: Belron's European automotive glass brand operating across Belgium, Netherlands, Italy and other markets. Provides comparable vehicle glass repair and replacement services to PSV but on continental Europe rather than UK/Ireland.
• Safelite Group: Largest US automotive glass repair and replacement specialist, owned by Belron. Operates the same distribution-and-installation model as PSV but primarily across North America rather than the UK/Ireland market.

Direct peers

• Auto Windscreens: UK automotive glass repair and replacement network providing windscreen and side-glass replacement services. Comparable to PSV as a distribution-and-installation operator in the UK vehicle glass market, with overlapping customer base and similar B2B delivery model.
• Novus Glass: International automotive glass repair and replacement network, also part of the Belron group. Operates a similar model of distribution and installation of vehicle glass, primarily serving passenger and commercial vehicles across multiple geographies.
• Carglass UK: UK arm of Belron's Carglass brand, providing automotive glass repair, replacement and recalibration services. Directly competes with PSV in the UK vehicle glass distribution and installation space, although generally oriented to passenger cars rather than bus, coach, rail and motorhome fleets.
• National Windscreens: UK-based automotive glass repair and replacement specialist operating a national branch network. Directly comparable to PSV's model of distributing and fitting vehicle glass through a multi-site UK footprint, though focused on passenger cars and commercial vehicles rather than PSV-specific verticals.

Others

• AGC Automotive: Global automotive glass manufacturer supplying windscreens, side and rear glass to OEMs and the aftermarket. Relevant to PSV as a likely upstream supplier of replacement glass stock and as an adjacent participant in the same automotive glazing value chain.
• Saint-Gobain Sekurit: Automotive glass division of Saint-Gobain, one of the world's largest manufacturers of OEM and replacement vehicle glazing. Comparable to PSV's product category (automotive glass) but operates upstream as a manufacturer rather than as a distribution-and-installation specialist.
• Pilkington Automotive: Major automotive glass manufacturer supplying OEM and aftermarket glass to vehicle makers and replacement distributors. Likely upstream supplier of the glass stock that PSV distributes and installs, making it an adjacent participant rather than a direct competitor.

Broad incumbents

• Belron International: Global leader in vehicle glass repair and replacement, parent of Autoglass (UK), Carglass, Safelite and Speedy Glass. A vastly larger generalist player operating broadly in the same automotive glass category as PSV, but not specialised in passenger-carrying transport.
