More than 100 customers attended during the course of the day and some of the new products on show included Timeless , the authentic flush sash system from VEKA , and the unveiling of Räum , Listers ’ brand-new aluminium range .
Phil Warren , Listers Central ’ s Sales Director , commented : “ After a massive 12 months for Listers , which included the takeover by Roy Frost and the GJB Holdings Group and the introduction of a number of fantastic product lines , the open day provided us with the perfect platform to invite customers in to look towards an exciting future .”
