Roy Frost To Speak On Acquisitions And Mergers At Glazing Summit

Well-respected industry figure and head of the GJB Holdings Group, Roy Frost has signed up to speak at the upcoming Glazing Summit.

Held in Birmingham in May, Roy will be speaking to industry professionals on the topic of mergers and acquisitions. He will be drawing on his own experience having recently bought not one, but two large-scale fabricators.

Essex-based fabricator GJB Window Systems was Roy’s first acquisition, taking over from retiring, long-time owner Ken Blackman. The South-East firm is one of the UK’s largest Eurocell fabricators with a dedicated customer base across the region. Soon after, an opportunity arose to purchase prominent Stoke-based fabricator Listers Central. The two companies have now come together under Roy’s leadership, to form GJB Holdings.

“With the purchase of these two industry stalwarts, and a number of discussions taking place on further buy-outs, I have first-hand experience of the advantages and the opportunities of growing by acquisition,” Roy explains. “I am looking forward to sharing my advice and insights at the Glazing Summit later this year.”

“I’m also keen in my speech to draw attention to the wider benefits of acquisitions. They are not only a chance to develop your own business, but to gain an experienced workforce, safeguard jobs and protect the future of the industry. Acquisition has allowed us to deliver an even greater service to our trade customers across the UK, with faster turnarounds, wider choice and stronger manufacturing and logistical capabilities.”
