Clearview Home Improvements: "Our team spotted the change in consumer attitudes to spending more on home improvements during lockdown and were quick to maintain a proactive, multi-channel marketing approach that focused on generating virtual sales appointments with customers from across the region. This really paid off." continued Gary Oakes, Sales Director
Pilkington United Kingdom / NSG Group: "This recognition of our concept ultimately represents the increasingly expansive role that innovative flat glass can play in our built environment." Said Rory Back, R&D incubator technical manager
Vista Group: "All five new styles compliment the rest of our stunning range of styles perfectly and provide even more choice for today's homeowner" said Ian Smith, business development and marketing manager.
Glassolutions: "This will be a complete one stop shop for all glass and glazing products including clear float, tinted float, low iron, soft and hard coat, laminated, patterned, wired, silvered, fire-glass and self-cleaning glass in stock, cut sized and processed" said Lisa Dunn, distribution director.
Construction Products Association: "The importance of this new Code and consultation process will be obvious to all those working in the built environment post-Grenfell. It is our responsibility as an industry to regain public trust and credibility in what we do" Chief Executive Peter Caplehorn commented.
Coastal Group: "This shift in consumer behaviour is leading many door and window manufacturers to reassess whether their hardware offering is really fit for purpose, whether it is helping them stand out from their competition. And ultimately whether it's helping sell their door or window." reflecting on this, Coastal CEO Loren Jenner
Change to the COVID 19 guidance as regards sales within the home
Dear Ian,
Yesterday evening (Wednesday 20 January), following numerous discussions with Government departments, we had confirmation on an amendment to the position around selling in the home.
This amendment confirms that sales appointments may take place in the home, as long as they are undertaken in a COVID-secure way.
Sales appointments should still take place remotely if possible, but this is not mandatory. If an installer receives a request for a quote from a homeowner, which requires a visit to survey the property and explain the options available, this can be done by an appointment in the home. These appointments must be carried out in a way that is COVID-19 secure and installers should be vigilant with following social distancing, face covering and hand washing in order to protect themselves, their teams and customers. .. … »
Best wishes, Jon Vanstone Chair,
Certass Trade Association
