Companies in our trade have been under immense pressure over the last 2 years. Taking care of our customers without putting pressure on our employees has been paramount to Waveney Windows, but we have been aware there is a stark truth about mental health in glazing...

From a recent survey, studies have shown that 89% of respondents have had an increased workload since the COVID-19 pandemic, and 76% are experiencing burnout from their workload! What is more concerning is that despite of the widespread problem, half of the respondents have never confided in friends or work colleagues.

These results can feel even more shocking as under 50% of those surveyed said they worked for a supportive employer. This is now being reflected in the ability to find new skilled workers to come and join the industry!

We hope the results provide valuable insights that will help the industry collaborate to put support mechanisms in place for those who need help!



We're proud to have started the conversation to help draw attention to the mental health challenges in the glass and glazing sector, and now is the time for action! We would also like to thank all our customers for their patience and understanding as we try to continue to offer exemplary levels of customer service alongside taking care of all our staff.
