Celebrating ten years of dedication & innovation
Commemorating ten years of being in business, Josh and Michelle Cody, the proud owners of Marlborough Glass, Novus Glass Blenheim and HomePlus Blenheim are excited to celebrate their journey over the last decade. It has come with its challenges say the couple but is a trip they have wholeheartedly embraced. “It's been hard, but we have grown with the business and what we have created is a place to go that covers automotive, residential, and commercial needs. We have developed as a company and when we took on HomePlus seven years ago it really opened up our scope proving just how much the business has grown.”
Locally owned and operated, Josh and Michelle secured the purchase of Novus Glass Blenheim in
2013 and immediately opened Marlborough Glass alongside it. The business soon grew and the addition of HomePlus Blenheim saw the couple expand their services to include a vast range of products to the wider Marlborough region. “This has been a real highlight for us. Our businesses complement each other perfectly and the addition of HomePlus has been an excellent fit.” Attributing their success to their staff and the community the couple say, “We couldn’t do the job without either of those aspects. We try to have a great team environment for our staff to be able to provide the excellent work that they do. Our team is phenomenal, and working with them is definitely a highlight for us. We pride ourselves on providing great customer service, which is key and a strong priority for our businesses.”
Supporting everything from sports initiatives, community groups and activities to school fundraisers and keeping well-deserving locals warm with trailer loads of wood for winter, the couple enjoy being able to give back to their own community and say the support that they have received in return feels great. “We have a lot of returning customers and word of mouth referrals, and it is wonderful to be able to support them in return. We like to give back where we can, we feel this is very important.”
Moving forward, the couple would like to see continued growth and support. “We are eager to see what the next ten years bring. We would like to give a shout-out to all our past and present employees, our customers, and our suppliers, some of whom have been with us since the beginning. Our local companies that we use are amazing and as part of our giveaways, there will be a combination of products from both us and our suppliers. We would like to thank both of our families who have been an immense help to us during our journey, and of course to our kids who started this venture with us as toddlers, and now as teenagers occasionally sweep the floor at work after school.”
