Queen’s Award for CMS
April 2017

Fabricator and installer CMS WINDOW SYSTEMS has been announced as a winner of the Queen's Award for Enterprise: Sustainable Development 2017.

The Cumbernauld-based company, which has grown to a £32m turnover business in just over a decade has been recognised in the Sustainable Development category for its outstanding achievement in ensuring environmental, social and economic sustainable practices underpin every aspect of the business.

CMS claims to be unique in the fenestration market in its approach to sustainability and its ethos of aiming to close-the-loop in everything it does. It provides products and services which help reduce the carbon footprint of homes and buildings, whilst at the same time operating in a resource-efficient way that generates virtually no landfill waste thanks to its extensive in-house recycling facilities.

Managing Director Andy Kerr said: “Winning a Queen’s Award for Enterprise is a tremendous honour, and I am delighted for all our staff and the management team who have worked so hard to make CMS the stand-out business it is today. We’ve consistently shown that sustainability is not a fad or a ‘nice to have’, but it can be fundamental to a successful business when approached with total commitment.”

Winning a Queen’s Award for Enterprise represents the latest high profile recognition for CMS in respect of its sustainability record, coming just six months after it beat off stiff competition from 27 other EU countries to win the ‘management’ category for medium and large companies in the European Business Awards for the Environment (EBAE).
Based at Castlecary near Cumbernauld, CMS Window Systems employs more than 250 people at its 15-acre main manufacturing and recycling facility and HQ, plus its branch in Kirkcaldy.
