WE MET UP WITH HALLMARK ’ S Marketing Assistant , Robert Gray , at the company ’ s premises . After an initial chat , we were given an eye-opening tour of the factory and the scale of Hallmark ’ s operation soon became apparent . Hallmark manufactures a variety of products , each designed to appeal to both a modern and contemporary market as well as the more traditional home . Their impressive product portfolio includes PVCu panels , composite doors , FD30 fire door , and aluminum vision panels along with a secondgeneration twin rebate door recently being rolled out . As if this wasn ’ t enough they are also due to launch a composite FD60 fire door in the very near future .
“ The factories are like going into the Tardis because of the sheer scale of the operation ,” said Rob . “ On analysing the company ’ s performance data , such as new customers , sales , every area is significantly up . This level of success is enabling us to further invest on top of the million pounds already spent on new machinery , staff and IT development .”
‘ it became obvious very quickly that passion , commitment and a desire to achieve is ingrained in the company fabric ’
The company , which employs around 100 staff , offers an unrivalled choice of door product type , style , colour and finish together with the latest decorative glass innovations and security features , allowing it to fulfil the everdemanding needs and desires of design and environmentally conscious customers .
Rob explained that with ‘ visionary ’ input from Lorraine Snell , Managing Director of Hallmark Group Products , the business is going through a period of change , clearly focusing on continuous improvement , customer satisfaction and ultimately achievement of the company ’ s future growth plans .

At this stage , Rob wasn ’ t wanting to give too much away , but clearly there are some very exciting times ahead for Hallmark and its long term and future customers .
He said : “ I don ’ t want to reveal too much at this point as we have a launch strategy in place . However , there are exciting times ahead for the company . We are set to launch the first phase of two projects over the next month that will elevate Hallmark to the next level . This will enhance our customers ’ experience leading to quicker lead times , enhanced ordering , intuitive functionality and potential increased sales .”
