Celebrating 50 years – Irish family-run business, Timeless Sash Windows, marks milestone anniversary

1973 – 2023 Timeless Sash Windows proudly announces half a century of dedication, resilience, and success. From humble beginnings, the company has grown with a singular focus on quality products and service. Now they are proud to be one of the most sought-after suppliers of both new timber windows and doors and refurbished historic windows in Ireland. 

A family-run business

Timeless Sash Windows first opened its doors for business in 1973. The all-purpose timber joinery was founded originally by Gerry Callaghan and his brother Peter. Gerry then branched off to specialise in traditional timber windows and doors. His sons, Barry and Pearse, joined the company when they came of age, to grow it further.  Gerry is still active in the business today.

“Our journey over the past five decades has been a testament both to the incredible dedication of our staff and the loyalty of our customers. Timeless remains committed to sustainability and delivering exceptional products and service as the market demands.”  says managing director, Barry Callaghan.

Recessions, pandemic and fire

Over the years the company has gone from strength to strength, weathering storms such as three major recessions, the uncertainty of the pandemic years, and most recently, in April 2022, a devastating workshop fire that burned the main premises down.

Despite this latest hurdle, Timeless Sash Windows has returned to full capacity production, and moreover, has grown in employee numbers over the past 12 months.

Where we are now

“Employing a diverse workforce from 7 different nationalities and maintaining a programme to promote staff within the company, keeps the team strong and motivated. The joiners and fitters at Timeless Sash Windows are all expert craftspeople, working with time-honoured skills to refurbish historic windows, which make up a large portion of the business. To create new timber products, Timeless Sash Windows embraces the latest technologies in energy performance. Constant upgrade of new machinery allows for maximum output with low waste and emissions to produce top-quality timber products. However, time-served craftsmen still are at the core of the workforce”.

There are now 70 employees across the company from the sales showroom, administration office, five on-site fitting crews, and two separate dedicated joinery spaces.

Award winning joinery

Timeless Sash Windows has a reputation for top-class workmanship on conservation projects, such as Ashford Castle, the National Gallery, Shelbourne Hotel, Hard Rock Hotel Dublin, 16 St. Stephen’s Green, and 3 Henrietta Street, to name a few.  We are proud to recently be shortlisted as a finalist in the Irish Construction Industry Awards 2023 as “Sub-Contractor of the Year.”

Looking ahead

Looking ahead, Timeless Sash Windows remains committed to innovation, sustainability and delivering exceptional quality to its customers.

Reaching 50 years in business, the company is delighted to celebrate this milestone with various events including horseracing sponsorship events at both Navan and Leopardstown racecourses in December 2023.
