TWR Bi-folds is running a poll to
find the most popular dual-colour
combination for bi-folding doors.
A breath of fresh air
»»The New Year saw a
fresh start for one of the UK’s
largest fabricators, Garrard
Windows, as it switched to using
Liniar profiles for its PVCu
products.
With a turnover approaching
£20m and 170 staff operating
out of an 86,000 ft² factory in
Buckinghamshire, Garrard’s
window and conservatory
trade customer base spans the
whole of the South of England.
This successful firm has grown
substantially since it was formed
in 1997 and its changeover to
Liniar looks set to help take the
business forward even further in
2015.
Managing Director, Steve Leek,
explains why, “To change profile
supplier is one of the biggest
decisions a window manufacturer
will ever make. I’ve known Roger
and many of his team for over
20 years. He has what he calls
a ‘flat management structure’,
which means there is an absolute
minimum of management ‘layers’,
enabling faster communication
and speed of response.
“In my experience, profile
companies in general aren’t
great at responding to customer
opinions, but at Liniar they
actively seek out feedback – a real
breath of fresh air!
“Since switching, the feedback
from our customers has been
overwhelmingly positive.”
»»The company has set
up the live poll on its website
and is encouraging installers
to register their opinion and
vote.
‘a range of quality’
The campaign is a response
to increased demand for TWR
Bi-fold’s coloured products. The
company has invested in its own
in-house powder coating facility
and can offer the fastest lead
times on coloured bi-folding
doors in the industry.
Terry Richardson, Managing
Director said: “To make it
even easier for installers to
turn around jobs and remain
profitable in the aluminium
market, we want to find out
what the most popular dualcolour’s are.
“Through our colour
campaign we can establish
the most popular colour
combinations and have these in
stock, ready to manufacture and
supply.”
TWR Bi-folds manufactures
a range of quality aluminium
products including patio doors
and vertical sliders, and can
supply these on the same six day
lead times as its bi-fold doors.
