AWG highlights female workforce contribution to mark International Women’s Day

To mark International Women’s Day, Affordable Windows Group (AWG) is celebrating the women who contribute to every corner of the business – from manufacturing and production through to sales, marketing, and the boardroom.

AWG, the UK’s leading trade supplier of uPVC and aluminium windows and doors and home to heritage brands Timberlook and Decorio, currently employs 37 women in a broad range of roles.

Two female members of the senior management team have each served an average of 36 years, while women in the uPVC production office average 11 years and those in sales average a decade. Across the aluminium and uPVC shop floors, female team members bring between five and eight years of hands-on production experience.

Director Paula Cocker, who is one of the company’s longest-serving team members, said: “We need to see female figures across every department and at every level. When the next generation of workers can see someone like them – in the roles they hope to achieve – it inspires real confidence. That visibility matters.”

Head of Marketing Amelia Gaughan, who will mark 12 years with AWG this July, added: “The length of service among our female staff speaks volumes. Women aren’t just present at AWG – they’re embedded in the fabric of how we operate, and many have helped shape the company into what it is today.”

Amelia noted: “Many of the women on our team have an extraordinary eye for detail, and provide the patience and steady hand needed for more intricate jobs. We have incredibly talented women right across this business, and International Women’s Day gives us a moment to properly recognise their impact. Their skill and commitment are central to everything we deliver – from Timberlook flush sash to our Decorio range and beyond.”
