Codu Glass Co. & Lead Glass (Kent), have been established in Kent for nearly 40 years.

In 1968 Sidney Coomber was made redundant with a fortnights’ holiday pay. He quickly found The Union Street premises in Maidstone to rent for £7.10s per week and started from there.

‘We still pride ourselves on being called and trading as a Glass Merchant. We will cut that little piece of glass for the old lady’s budgie cage as well as supplying and fitting to Windsor Palace, Mandela House in London and Railtrack stations in the south east.’
