INDUSTRYNEWS Network VEKA installers accomplish BSI Kitemark™ Email Blitz »»Insight Data, the award winning supplier of marketing data, has expanded its in-house marketing team following increased demand for its lead generation service. The move sees the company’s email marketing department increase capacity to 10 million emails a year while introducing new marketing automation technology, whereby potential customers can be targeted with a series of highly personalised emails. The technology enables suppliers to target potential customers in the window industry, construction, building contractors and architects using the Insight database. Commercial Director Helen CosteloeHughes comments: “Email marketing continues to grow as a marketing weapon. With most people now having email on their mobile phone, it means we can connect with decision makers directly, bypassing the usual gate-keepers. And with the quality of our data clients are getting much better results, up to 400% more response than other email providers.” Helen continues: “We provide a complete service that includes design, copywriting, distribution and reporting, with clients able to target over 50,000 senior decision makers across the industry on any chosen day and even time of day.” Call 01934 808293 or visit www.insightdata.co.uk »»Two installer members of Network VEKA are proud to have achieved the coveted BSI Kitemark™ for window and door installation , giving them an additional, powerful tool to illustrate their high standards. Cornwall’s Rodda and Hocking, and Bury St Edmunds-based Frames Conservatories Direct are two of the first companies to take advantage of Network VEKA’s professional relationship with BSI. Earlier this year, Network VEKA’s MD John Ogilvie announced a pioneering partnership with BSI, the business standards company, for window installers. Network VEKA members who wish to further enhance their offering to homeowners by achieving the BSI Kitemark, can now do so as there is little additional site auditing time required for the BSI Kitemark, following the normal Network VEKA assessment visit (thanks to the many shared objectives in the organisations’ auditing processes). John commented: “Many of the requirements of the BSI Kitemark are closely aligned with Network VEKA’s existing procedures. Therefore, only a few additional elements need adding to our current auditing process to consider companies for the BSI Kitemark too, giving them the unique means to gain a nationally recognised mark of quality in a comparatively timely and cost-effective manner.” www.networkveka.co.uk THE FENSA MASTER FITTER CHALLENGE FENSA is urging its registered businesses to enter the Master Fitter Challenge. »»Run in association with the FIT Show 2016 and sponsored by FENSA and GQA Qualifications, the Master Fitter Challenge tests installation skills.
