Mark Osborne

Managing Director

I have worked at Abbey Glass all my working life, 45 years in total starting in 1978.  I began as a window installer, then working my way through the company covering all roles gaining experience in all aspects of the business until my current position as Managing Director.

My motivation at work is simple, it comes from seeing a job finished and done well to a high standard accompanied by great customer feedback once installed.

Weekends are a time for re-charging my batteries, watching football and enjoying time with my grandchildren.

Company Director

With over 40 years of experience at Abbey Glass, I’ve had the privilege of growing with the company since starting as a young apprentice at 16. Over the years, I’ve taken on a variety of roles, serving as Director for three decades and as Managing Director for the last 17 years. I’ve been proud to lead a business known for its commitment to quality in windows, doors, and conservatories, while also driving innovation and long-term growth.

Recently, I’ve overseen the launch of Abbey Architectural, a new commercial venture expanding our services into large-scale and bespoke architectural projects—a bold and exciting next chapter for the company.

Outside of work, I’m passionate about motorcycling, travelling, and walking my dog. These interests help me stay balanced, focused, and continually inspired—both personally and professionally.

Max Fisher

Commercial Estimator

I’ve only been here just over a month but the main thing I’ve enjoyed about being at Abbey Architectural is the overall mood of all the staff and how long everyone has been here, these two factors speak massive volumes to me about the overall ethos of the company and how they treat their staff members.

In work my biggest motivation is helping and subsequently seeing the business grow. Outside of work I train MMA and jujitsu in which I have a blue belt, have 2 cats, and am coming up on 3 years in my home which is another big motivation for me.
