“A CONSISTENTLY SUPERIOR SERVICE”
» » BUSINESSES FROM ACROSS THE
fenestration industry will be familiar with
the efforts required to achieve top marks in
a Quality Systems Audit. In a benchmarking
process that continually reviews in-house
procedures, Yorkshire-based manufacturer
Quickslide has undertaken an assessment
under the guidance of auditor CENSolutions
Ltd., for the second time in a year; passing
with flying colours.
Compliance with several requisites is
compulsory for all manufacturers; the
Construction Products Regulation (CPR)
setting down standards including BS EN 14351
for windows and pedestrian door sets, and PAS
24:2016 which relates to the level of security
applied to windows and doors on ‘New Build’
sites. Applying this level of scrutiny to a further,
optional certification is not something every
business is willing to do.
Ben Weber, Managing Director at
Quickslide explained the importance of the
audit for Quickslide:
“The fenestration market is competitive
and so we wanted to find a way of sticking
our heads above the parapet and telling our
customers that we’re serious about providing
a consistently superior service. CENSolutions
visited us for two days, during which time
our policies, procedures and manufacturing
operation are really put through their paces.”

What’s ours is yours…
The new Ultion website from Brisant Secure offers
has been launched with a unique product presentation
page for customers with Ultion On Your Site.
» » ULTION ON YOUR SITE CAN BE
integrated onto any website from a selection
of banner links. All that is required is a single
line of script and there’s even a video tutorial
to show how effective it is.
One of the first companies to adopt
this powerful marketing presentation was
Porta-Dors, with managing director Theresa
Dyer saying of it: “Ultion On Your Site was
so easy to incorporate within our website.
The result is that our customers are fully
informed about the performance of Ultion
vs other cylinders, as we’re selling both a
door and the perceived security that goes
with it.”
With over 17,000 unique visitors to the
Ultion website per month, Brisant have
added the facility for homeowners to search
for local Ultion door installers. There are also
a number of engaging videos throughout
the site, along with a webshop offering
additional keys, padlocks, KeyRing, KeyCap,
and a lock lubricant.
