About Us
At Autoglass and Laddaw, making a difference is what our business is all about. For 40 years we’ve maintained our position as the UK’s favourite vehicle glass specialist, fitting safety as standard for millions of customers each year. Our people are innovative, collaborative and customer-focused – together, we support each other to achieve real excellence in everything we do.
Since 1972, Autoglass has been proud to provide mobile vehicle glass services to UK customers, and over the years we’ve become a household name and national superbrand. In 1982, we became part of the world’s largest vehicle glass replacement business upon joining Belron Group. In 1990, Autoglass revolutionised the vehicle glass industry by introducing the first ever vehicle glass repair service (Glass Medic), thanks to a technical innovation introduced by Belron.
Established in 1975, Laddaw is our wholesale glass business. Our customer’s ever-changing requirements are the driving force behind the development of all our products, technologies and support services. Through our purpose-built distribution centre, we offer our customers access to a great range of products.
