Sam Mitchell

Managing Director

Sam Mitchell sashed managing director and owner

Hi, I’m Sam, and I’m the Managing Director at Sashed.

I grew up surrounded by windows and doors – my mum worked in leadership at one of the largest aluminium and uPVC manufacturers in Northern Ireland, so it’s always been in my blood. While my family was in the trade, I went in a different direction and pursued a career in technology, starting with a role at AOL in Dublin. After moving to London, I worked with tech giants like BT and IBM, but over time, I found myself becoming involved in property development. That’s when I started looking for high-quality timber windows and doors for my own projects – and quickly became frustrated with the poor service and lack of transparency in the industry. I knew there had to be a better way.

Drawing on my experience in technology and business ethics, I set out to revolutionise the timber windows and doors market. I wanted to offer the same level of transparency, honesty, and convenience that I value as a consumer. And that’s how Sashed was born – premium design led products, outstanding customer service, and a better way of buying windows and doors.
