Window firm shuts after 47 years

A WINDOW and door company based in Mangotsfield has closed down after 47 years in business.

Panoramic’s showroom in Richmond Road closed as the company ceased trading on November 11.

Its nine employees have been made redundant.

The company, which also fitted doors, glass roofs and conservatories, had a further six contractors working for it when it closed.

A notice posted on the door of the shop and on the company’s website said: “It is with deep regret that we announce Panoramic Limited has ceased to trade.”

Creditors and customers were referred to accountants PKF Francis Clark.

A PKF Francis Clark spokesperson said: “PKF Francis Clark was instructed to assist the director of Panoramic Limited with the steps necessary to place the company into liquidation and an orderly winding down of the company’s business.

“We are working with the director to prepare and finalise the necessary documents and formally notify all creditors, including employees and customers, of the proposed liquidation and its timing.

“Gavel Auctioneers & Valuers have carried out a valuation of the company’s assets and have been contacted by third parties interested in purchasing certain assets.

“After they are formally appointed, the liquidators will investigate the company’s financial affairs as part of their statutory duty and will be communicating with all creditors – including customers who have paid deposits – in due course.”

Panoramic’s website said the company had been in business since 1978.

It said: “We’ve been helping customers in Bristol, Bath and the surrounding areas with double and triple glazing for their windows and doors ever since. We pride ourselves on the quality of our glazing products and the close level of service we offer our customers.”

The firm had also sponsored local events and organisations, including providing power to Mangotsfield Residents Association’s Dame School Nativity display in 2023.
