Everest – 70s style!

How’s this for a blast from the past? We recently came across this image of one of Everest’s classic vans from way back in 1977. Thirty-four years later and we’re still going strong! Although we’re not sure what happened to the van…

The Everest 46th Birthday Sale is back!

The Everest 46th Birthday Sale is on now. 2011 has been a very special year here at Everest – not least because we’re celebrating an amazing 46 years at the forefront of the Home Improvements Industry. Personally, we don’t think we look a day over thirty – but nevertheless we’re very proud of the success and longevity we’ve achieved in an ever-evolving market! Earlier this year we decided to mark this special anniversary with a fantastic Birthday Sale.

We had such a phenomenal response to our 46th Birthday Sale the first time around that we’ve decided to give our customers a second opportunity to take advantage of this incredible offer. For a limited time only, you can enjoy discounts of up to 46% off our bespoke windows and doors*. Not only that, on a selection of our uPVC windows and doors, we’re offering to extend our comprehensive guarantees on materials and workmanship to a full 46 years! View all of this post >

Everest Staff Take On the Three Peaks Challenge!

Everest's team of intrepid ramblersAt Everest we have a complicated relationship with mountains. Due to our company name, we get quite a lot of misdirected enquiries about climbing gear and where to get hold of a decent Sherpa. We wonder if there’s a mountaineering company somewhere in Nepal that finds itself occasionally inundated with requests for top quality double glazing and fitted kitchens

As a part of our ongoing fundraising activities for Cancer Research UK, last month a group of our staff decided to settle the competition once and for all. It was quickly decided that attempting to scale Mount Everest would probably be a little bit too ambitious for a gang of novice ramblers from Hertfordshire, so they plumped for something closer to home and slightly less dangerous – the Three Peaks Challenge!

Everest’s Kerry Emmons Races For Life

At Everest we always like to celebrate the achievements of our staff members, which is why we’d like to extend a huge congratulations to Kerry Emmons from our Head Office Personnel team, who successfully completed the Cancer Research UK ‘Race For Life’ on Sunday 8th May.

Race for Life is the largest women-only fundraising event in the UK, inspiring women of all ages and fitness levels to run, walk or jog to raise money for Cancer Research UK. Like many of the women who get involved in the event, Kerry was running in memory of a loved one. She tragically lost her husband Terry Emmons to cancer seven years ago, and was inspired to complete the run in his honour.

“It was a great day and very emotional” says Kerry. “Terry was a really fun guy and very well respected by everyone who knew him. It felt like the right time to do this to honour his memory.” View all of this post >
