We have been located at our premises (map) in south Birmingham for nearly 20 years.
Our owner and founder Tim Derbyshire has over 45 years experience in the industry and has worked on stained glass windows all over the world including Japan, Australia, U.S.A, Uruguay, Brazil and across Europe.
Tim started off working for Edgar Phillips (Snr.) at his stained glass and antique shop in the Portobello Road in London before serving an apprenticeship at John Hardman's studio in Birmingham and eventually worked his way up to managing the studios restorations department. In the early 90s, Tim set up Simply Stained Glass based at a small shop on the Warwick Road in Tyseley before moving to our current premises on the Coventry Road in Sheldon.
Even after branching out on his own, Tim and Simply Stained Glass continued to do approximately 50% contract work through them and had a continuing relationship right through to the studios closure in 2010.
