Building Long-Term Success with CLC Contractors

In the construction industry, lasting partnerships are rarely built on price alone. They are developed through trust, reliability and the ability to consistently deliver when projects become complex. Abbey Glass’s relationship with CLC Contractors is a strong example of how shared standards and collaborative working can create long-term value for both organisations.

CLC Contractor Relationship

Since 2015, Abbey Glass has worked alongside CLC Contractors, one of the United Kingdom’s most established maintenance and refurbishment specialists. The partnership has centred largely on refurbishment programmes for Premier Inn, supporting projects across a national portfolio of hotels.

Delivering glazing packages within occupied hospitality environments requires far more than just supplying products. Every project must be carefully planned, coordinated and executed with minimal disruption to guests, staff and day-to-day operations. Programmes are often fast-moving, with multiple sites running simultaneously and strict completion deadlines that leave little room for delay.

For Abbey Glass, success in this environment depends on a combination of technical expertise, logistical planning and effective communication. Working closely with CLC’s project managers and site teams, the company has developed a delivery model that supports large-scale refurbishment programmes while maintaining the quality standards expected by a leading hotel brand.

Premier Inn projects nationwide

The scale of the partnership is significant. During 2025 alone, Abbey Glass supplied and installed over 5,000 shower screens for Premier Inn projects nationwide. Around 40 per cent of this work was delivered through CLC Contractors, equating to over 2,000 shower screen installations. Alongside this, Abbey Glass supplied a corresponding number of mirrors, resulting in a substantial number of completed installations across the estate.

Managing projects at this scale requires more than manufacturing capability. It demands consistency from design and surveying through to production, scheduling and installation. Each stage must align seamlessly to ensure materials arrive when required and installation teams can work efficiently within demanding site programmes.

A key strength of the relationship has been the strong rapport developed between the respective teams over more than a decade of collaboration. Open communication, mutual respect and a shared commitment to achieving the best outcome have helped establish a working relationship that continues to deliver results across the country.

Our Managing Director’s Reflection

Angela Worgan, Managing Director of Abbey Glass, believes the longevity of the partnership reflects the values shared by both organisations.

“Our relationship with CLC Contractors has been built over many years through trust, communication and a shared commitment to delivering quality projects. The success of these programmes depends on every team working together, from planning and procurement through to installation on site. We are proud of what we have achieved together and value the strong relationships we have developed with both their management teams and site personnel across the UK.”

As refurbishment programmes continue to evolve, contractors increasingly require specialist supply chain partners capable of supporting nationwide delivery while maintaining consistency across every location. Abbey Glass’s partnership with CLC demonstrates how collaboration, attention to detail and a commitment to service can support successful project outcomes at scale.

For Abbey Glass, the relationship extends beyond individual projects. It represents a long-standing partnership founded on shared expectations, dependable performance and a collective focus on delivering high-quality environments for one of the UK’s leading hospitality brands.
