Anglian Home Improvements Overview
Anglian Home Improvements, originally established in 1966 as Anglian Windows, is one of the largest home improvements companies in the UK. When they started out over 40 years ago in Norwich Anglian windows supplied replacement windows but today Anglian Home Improvements now offer a range of home improvements products and services.

History
Anglian windows was founded in 1966 by George Williams, with one factory in Norwich. The first Anglian Windows shop opened three years later in Ipswich allowing the public to view products personally and discuss their individual needs. In 1985 Anglian launched its conservatories range and in 1986 the company had grown to have more than 130 showrooms and 5 factories. Today Anglian Home Improvements continue to provide replacement windows services but also offer services including conservatories, driveways, and rooftrim.

Company Brand Identity
Anglian’s logo is styled on a knight on horseback, and is an insignia of leadership, strength, nobility and courtesy. The symbol, also once used by Anglia Television in 1959, is based on an actual trophy dating back to 1850 which is on display in Norwich, the ‘home’ of Anglian Home Improvements.

Online Presence
After launching their website in 1998, Anglian Home Improvements have since become an active member of the online community. The Anglian Home Improvements blog shows their activity in the wider community and gives an insight into their company with blog posts about the Anglian Home Improvements sponsored BARC Formula 2 driver Jack Piper, for example, as well as contributions to topical issues such as energy saving technology and their donations to the local community.
