Letter to the Editor - Elephants in the room
Dear Ian
Stock markets generally have recovered their shock at voters’ decision to Brexit, but construction and housebuilder shares are in the doldrums and sterling is down. It may rally when confidence recovers, but the pound is vulnerable to nervous sentiment.
Most of the window industry’s raw materials and components are imported, and priced in US dollars and Euro. Steel, aluminium, wood, PVC resin, hardware, reinforcement and imported components are all affected, and the pound has lost more than 10% against the dollar since June 25th. Some have already increased prices. Realistically it’s a question of how much and how soon, not if prices need to adjust.
We don’t yet know where it will settle, but unless sterling recovers, timber, aluminium, PVC and other materials and components are likely to go up by 10 to 15% and stay up for the foreseeable future...[ more ]
Sincerely
Roy Frost
Managing Director Deceuninck UK

Letter to the Editor - Elephants in the room
Dear Ian
The fallout from Brexit has begun. I feel I should start out by saying, the reason I have decided to write to you is to highlight what I believe to be the new “elephant in the room” – what to do about pricing in this new world after Brexit – we all know it needs to be dealt with, but some still insist on burying their heads.
VITA, along with many other hardware suppliers, has recently issued letters to their customers explaining that, as a direct result of a dramatic drop in the $USD exchange rate following the result of Brexit in June, a surcharge, or in some cases a price increase, will have to be applied to their accounts...[ more ]
Yours sincerely
