MORLEY GETS CREATIVE IN THE NAME OF CHARITY

Morley Glass & Glazing is well-known for its commitment to sponsoring local clubs and societies, helping organise charity events and raising money for good causes. Now, the business has been able to combine all of these with a unique approach to how it recycles the waste products of its production process. Over the past year, Morley has got creative with the help of local glass artists Bob and Gael Spishak, who have been giving the offcuts of glass created during Morley’s manufacturing process a new lease of life as works of art. Using their own home studio, the couple melt […]

Hotly anticipated WarmCore patio now available

Synseal Group shows no sign of slowing down as it launches its new WarmCore Inline Patio system this month, as promised at the FIT Show earlier this year.

Stunning debut for Stratus lantern

The fully thermally broken Stratus lantern roof from Synseal Group is on track to hit 1000 fully fabricated sales within its first year, on top of the success that Synseal’s bar length fabricators have found with this great new product. Sales of the aluminium lantern roof system have consistently grown every quarter since it was launched in September 2016 with customers loving the sleek aluminium exterior, slim sightlines and genuine thermal efficiency. Despite being launched at a typically quiet time of year, Stratus was an instant hit with Synseal’s roof customers, in part thank to a sneak peek at the […]

And it’s goodnight from him…

There have been some incredible partnerships in the world that are synonymous with success and longevity. Ferguson and United, Lennon and McCartney, Keegan and Toshack. But as with every good thing, there has to be an end, the passing on of the baton and this month our industry is going to be saying goodbye to a stalwart of the Fenestration world. Mark Warren, MD of Lister Trade Frames, has decided to step away from his role and hand over the reins to his two fellow Directors, Darren Pusey and Phil Warren with immediate effect. This follows a stellar career at […]

Clippings and Musings – Helen Duval – September 2017

There have been some unusual stories which recently that caught my eye. As DGB mentioned in a recent item, the demise of the Ice Cream van has been squarely put at the door, or the window, of the glazing industry by the Daily Mail. Whilst greater choice and supermarkets will undoubtedly be a big part of its ruin, (if that is the case), I’m pretty sure that headphones, iPhones and online ‘gaming’ will be another big reason why the chimes can’t be heard. All a bit harsh and not really a news item, but no doubt it was the kind […]

Let’s Get Creative

When it comes to video marketing its benefits are simple – they can make a company serious money. Incorporating a corporate or product video onto a website can really enable companies to convert leads and fast. Equally, a strong and well defined product video on a website can lead to immediate investment. It has been proven that 74% of viewers who watch ‘explainer-videos’ go on to buy a product. While many people consider that ROI must take some time, many who have made the investment state that it has really helped their marketing campaigns. Whilst there is some time that […]
