DING DING DING!
»»TWR BIFOLDS IS SPONSORING
Thomas Essomba – a boxer who is fast
becoming recognised as one of the biggest
talents fighting out of the UK.
Thomas, 28, was born in Cameroon and
boxes in the light flyweight division. He is
making waves in the North East and UK
thanks to his natural talent and dedication to
the sport.
Thomas has had seven bouts so far in his
burgeoning career, winning six and losing
one.
He participated in the 2012 Olympic
Games and was also recently crowned the
new Commonwealth flyweight champion. He

arrived in the UK penniless as an immigrant
and soon attracted attention due to his boxing
flair and natural fitness.
TWR is sponsoring Thomas in his upcoming matches, where its branding will
appear on his kit.
Terry Richardson, Managing Director of
TWR, comments: “We’re proud to support
up-and-coming talent in the area, particularly as
many of the staff here are a big fans of the sport.
The TWR team wish Thomas the best of luck
for his next match; and to anyone in the industry
watching, look out for our TWR logo.”

SUPPLIER SUPPORT TAKES BUSINESS FORWARD
»»A WALSALL-BASED TRADE
fabricator of PVCu windows
and doors, Pyramid Profiles, has
announced its move to using
Halo profile as well as other
VEKA UK Group products after
20 years of working exclusively
with another systems supplier.
The family-run company
now manufactures a wide range
of Halo products, including
the chamfered System 10 and
sculptured Rustique profiles;
conservation and heritage
favourite, FlushSash; and The

VEKA UK Group’s innovative
Imagine Patio and Bi-Fold
Doors.
“We’d been looking for some
time for a systems supplier to help
take our business forward; not
only through superior products
but a great support package
too”, explains Pyramid Profiles’
managing director, Paul Bailey.
“You need only read the trade
press to see story after story of
customer support and satisfaction
with Halo. And The VEKA
UK Group’s #JustTheFACTS

campaign mentions more than
100 companies switching profile
systems with them in the last
12 months, which gave us extra
confidence in changing over with
them.
“In the past, our systems
supplier had seemed content to
‘leave us to it’ as long as the orders
kept rolling in! With VEKA
and Halo there’s a much more
proactive approach to ensuring
success.”
