Darby Glass Re-emerges

Browallia LLP, a partnership of former Jarvis Porter Group shareholders, has announced the purchase of the entire share capital of Darby Group Limited, the holding company of Darby Glass Limited, from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP the Administrators of Jarvis Porter Group Plc.

Darby Glass Limited will continue to focus on enhancing its reputation as one of the UK's largest independent suppliers of insulating glass units and street furniture to both the commercial and domestic marketplace. Darby Glass will continue to trade from its five UK sites and the existing management team will remain in place.

Robin Cooper, Finance Director said ‘this transaction separates Darby from Jarvis Porter and its Pension Scheme which has caused us difficulties in managing the business in the past. We now have a stronger company that can continue to build on its success as recently recognised by being voted the Glass Company of the Year at the G07 Awards’.

Adrian Edwards, Managing Director said ‘everyone at Darby is looking forward to continuing the company's development and we are confident that the Group will now move forward with a structured plan to invest in its people, plant and processes, build on current market share, and further improve business profitability’.
