Andrew and Matthew Glover - The Double Glazing Good Guys

Beyond The Call Of Duty With The Glovers

When you enter this world you are told that there are certain things you must do: Pay your taxes, eat your greens, wash behind your ears and work hard. Within reason, what you do the remainder of the time is optional, a grey area in which you set your own schedule.

To some people this is a loophole in life, it is an excuse for them to sit at home watching TV and claiming benefits for life. For most of us, we occasionally work hard, occasionally play hard and without over-exerting ourselves, we do the best we can.

But there are a few special people out there who go above and beyond the call of duty. They go so far outside of the grey lines that it is quite unreal.

I have had the honour of saluting two such people… the Glover brothers: Andrew and Matthew Glover.

The Glover Brothers

Together they run the very successful conservatory business: Conservatory Outlet and a double glazing business called West Yorkshire Windows . These are two very hard working guys, but it is away from work that these guys really take things to a whole new level.

Matthew does a lot of work for a charity called HEAL, and has previously ridden across parts of India in an aim to raise funds. Personal safety, and health are put to one side to make way for a drive and desire to do good in the world.

HEAL described this as “the most ambitious fundraising event our charity has ever undertaken”, and it paid off, raising over 100 thousand pounds for the charity.

Andrew is no different, in fact, at the time of writing this, he is cycling across America with “Ride 4 Hope” This team will ride over 3,000 miles across the USA for Hope House Children’s Hospices, raising much needed funds for the terminally ill children they care for.

(Andrew is the one not wearing a helmet!)

An amazing feat that has had more than it’s fair share of cuts, bangs and bruises.

Here is the thing… they didn’t have to take the time and effort out of their busy lives to do this. At aged 4 they were not told to tidy their bedroom and then raise hundreds of thousands for charity… at no point anywhere in the grey line was this to be found… but they went outside the line and beyond the call of duty, and frankly, the very least I can do is raise awareness and show my appreciation with this post.

So here’s to the Glover brothers, proof that life on the edge is truly the best place to be.
