Jack Brunsdon was a master craftsman with a passion for making things from wood. He turned his hand to many varied forms of joinery, including deck chairs, toboggans and even the rear timber body work of the Morris Traveller estate motor car before finally settling on the crafting of high quality windows and doors. His exacting legacy continues today.
Jack Brunsdon opened his first workshop back in the 1940s, producing everything from staircases to furniture and cabinets, but times were hard and the best of British entrepreneurship was required to survive. The snowy winter of 1941 saw Jack diversify into toboggan manufacture, whilst the hot summer of 1947 found the firm turning out deckchairs based on a concept he had spotted in the South of France.
In the 50s, when Morris Motors scaled up production of the Morris Traveller, Jack had a spell making the iconic ash frames for the rear timber bodywork of this famous wood-framed estate. And in 1959, he was even commissioned to build the famous ‘Swingometer’ which featured on the BBC’s coverage of that year’s general election!
Over time the production of high quality windows and doors became Jack’s signature craft and these were installed in universities, banks, church buildings, public houses and prestige homes throughout the region. In 1964, sensing an opportunity in the emerging glass technologies pioneered by Pilkingtons, Jack formally incorporated a specialist window business. And for over fifty years the business has carried on the tradition of making and installing fine quality windows and doors. Jack’s values of quality, craftsmanship and integrity have been firmly upheld and the company has grown by repute to become one of the most regarded glazing firms in the country.
Today, Jack Brunsdon & Son still has its headquarters in Oxford with a flagship store at Blenheim Palace Sawmills, just a stone’s throw from beautiful Blenheim Park, where Jack sold his toboggans to the gathered crowds in the early forties. Three further showrooms are located throughout Buckinghamshire, Middlesex and Surrey where customers can inspect, first hand, the quality of the firm’s work.
More recently, Jack Brunsdon was acquired by renowned Swedish firm, Inwido, Europe’s leading supplier of wooden windows and doors. Still locally managed and retaining its commitment to quality and service the acquisition will enable further investment in product development, ensuring it becomes firmly established as the UK’s number one brand.
The Jack Brunsdon & Son reputation is founded on three core values – heritage, craftsmanship and quality. It’s a proud reputation which the firm has built on over the past five decades. And it offers a 10-year workmanship guarantee on every installation of handcrafted windows and doors as well as further market-leading guarantees on everything, from paint to hardware and ironmongery.
