History
Everest was founded by Lewis Golden in 1964. It became one of the first companies in the market of double glazing. In what became a very fragmented market, with over 3,000 companies, the company grew to become the second biggest in the UK market by sales and turnover with 2.5% of the market (£165m sales) by 2009, later rising to 3%.
Private Equity firm Better Capital acquired the company in March 2012 for £25 million. In November 2013, the company won the Interactive Media Awards in content, design, functionality, high standards of compliance and usability.
In 2014, Everest windows introduced triple glazing to the volume market.
