Executive Summary:
Autoglass as we know it today has its origins in two separate companies. In 1969, Tony
Bates started a small family business in Bedford called Windshields, which became wellknown for its pioneering approach. In those days windscreens were made of toughened glass,
which would smash if hit with sufficient force and the pieces of glass would end up inside
the car.Autoglass was formed in 1974 and, by 1983, had over 40 branches and 100 mobile
fitting units. In 1984, the two firms merged to become initially Autoglass Windshields and a
year later the second part of the name was dropped - the name Autoglass remains to this day.
The company presently has 180 branches and 900 mobile fitting units.
Autoglass offers a vehicle glass repair and replacement service. Windscreens are usually
damaged by loose chippings being thrown up from the road; over time this can turn into a
crack. Body glass is usually damaged as a result of theft or vandalism. Autoglass has stated it
makes repairs to around 1.5 million customers a year.The company is part of the Belron
Group, a large international vehicle glass repair and replacement company. Belron is part of
Belgian company D'Ieteren, which owns a group of companies which serve motorists. The
UK office of Autoglass is based at Priory Business Park in Bedford.
In this case the business strategy of Autoglass will be discussed. It examines the way
Autoglass improved strategies and day-to-day tactics for evaluating and monitoring progress
while advancing its established corporate objectives.
