Letter To The Editor, From Gareth Mobley, CEO Of Solidor & Residor

Dear Lee, Since President Trump started labelling people, news organisations and news he didn’t like as ‘fake news’ the phrase has been in the news. It’s one of the internet’s favourite memes. Senior advisor to the President, Kellyanne Conway’s concept of ‘alternative facts’ is also trending. But made-up news, distortions and lies used to deceive, dissemble and confuse are common, and as old as the hills. It’s also more common than we’d like in our own industry. In composite doors, some brands claim to have Secured by Design when the slabs they use don’t pass the PAS24:2016 cut test, or […]

Questionnaire – Ian Short, Morley Glass and Glazing

Can you tell us a little about the strong foundations on which the company has been built? A short potted history of Morley Glass. Born in Leeds I’m a Yorkshireman, through and through. I’m plain speaking, like to get a job done and believe in good value. I’ve always been a hard worker starting with a milk round and a paper round when I was still at school. I worked as a production manager at a glass company for more than eight years and then decided to launch Morley Glass and Glazing in 1998. Our original product range was sealed […]

Certass Launches Introduce a Friend Offer

Over the last few months we have been asking new members joining us the reasons they picked Certass and where they heard about us. The top reason why new members joined was for our customer service levels and our friendly, helpful staff. Of course, all the other aspects of Certass membership such as designing the product around our customers, the way we structure our fees and the simple to use ‘mobile first’ IT platforms are important. But, these stem from our single overriding principle of delivering the best customer service we can. So, after hearing this it should be no […]

Clippings and Musings – March 2017 – Helen Duval

Politics still continues to dominate our news with Philip Hammond sending shockwaves through all sectors after his introduction of a National Insurance levy on self-employed profits, which was due to increase to 10% next year and then further still to 11% in 2019. Introduced by Mr Hammond to address multi-billion pound shortfalls in NI contributions, Anna Soubry MP considered that abandoning promises regarding this from the 2015 manifesto, in order to raise £2bn from entrepreneurs by the end of the current Parliament, would lead to great unpopularity as the first U-turn by this Government. Then we were left in no […]

Solidor’s stable door is the first stable door to achieve a Secured By Design (SBD) license. SBD is a national police initiative developed to specifically encourage and recognise manufacturers who design security into their products.

Tough Mudder or completely bonkers?

Pitched as ‘no ordinary mud run’, Tough Mudder South West takes place on the weekend of 19th-20th August at Badminton Estate in South Gloucestershire.

Lucy is taking part in the challenge for a very good cause as she explains: “I signed up for […]

Goliath tops £5m in Network VEKA sales over 20 year partnership

Goliath Homeworld – a founder member of pioneering installer support organisation, Network VEKA – is celebrating more than £5m in sales registered directly through the two organisations’ partnership. Cannock-based Goliath, which celebrates its 30th anniversary in May, helped form Network VEKA in 1996. At that time, the home improvement industry was suffering from a stigma of unscrupulousness; the result of fly-by-night salespeople whose low standards, high prices and nonexistent after-sales support had particularly affected the double glazing trade. Stephen Hancox, Managing Director at Goliath explains: “Network VEKA was conceived to help installers demonstrate that they uphold the highest standards; not […]
