Classic
Glass was established in November, 1974 by William
Brodie and Kenneth Felton, two industrious young men
with extensive experience in the glass business. At
the outset, these two partners handled automotive
glass replacement only. Early into their business,
however, they recognized the growing need for specialization
in the installation of replacement glass for foreign
vehicles. This phase of the business has played an
important part in the firm’s history.
Less than three years after Classic Glass was founded,
it became necessary to move to larger quarters and
in 1985 our total work space doubled because of the
demand and the reputation we were developing.
As a growth company, Classic Glass’ successful
past has been the cornerstone in building a bright
outlook for the future.
Another phase of our operation which has experienced
rapid growth is custom mirror and shower enclosure
fabrication and installation. Since 1977, this aspect
of our business has brought us into the greater Boston
area’s newest and most elegant hotels, condos
and businesses, as well as new and older homes, and
has created a fine reputation that we are proud to
maintain.
Since 1985, when Kenneth resigned from the firm and
Bill Brodie, President since the inception of the
firm, became sole owner, Classic Glass has made additional
strides in the areas of sales, personnel and customer
service. Both Bill and his wife, Bobbi, have been
active in the local and national levels of the glass
industry. They are both highly respected by their
colleagues for the high standards they maintain and
their contributions to the growth of the industry
as a whole.
Commenting on the history of Classic Glass, Bill Brodie
noted… “The history of our firm has been
growth though service. When we started, we were convinced
that the glass business offered growth opportunities
for those with talent and the willingness to work
diligently. We still see a strong future for the glass
industry, and we look forward to being an integral
successful part of its growth for many years to come.”
