Approved Fabricator Scheme
continues to be rolled out
Amy Grundy, National Sales
Manager, Installer Scheme,
congratulates Darren Woolf,
Sash UK’s National Trade Sales
Manager on the company’s
new ‘Approved’ status.

»»Barnsley-based Sash
UK is a long-standing, wellrespected VEKA fabricator
that has been working with the
systems supplier for 27 years.

Sash UK, which celebrates 50
years in business next year, has
now been officially recognised as
a VEKA ‘Approved Fabricator’
to support the new Approved
Installer scheme.
Unveiled earlier this year,
one of the criteria for becoming
an Approved Installer is that
products must be bought through
an Approved Fabricator. As an
official Approved Fabricator, Sash
UK can now support its installer

customers in becoming VEKA
Approved.
The Approved Installer
initiative allows companies to
prove their commitment to
quality and attract new customers
with a range of professional
marketing materials, including
newly-designed items that are
exclusive to Approve Installers.
Stephen Morrell Sash UK MD
explains: “When The VEKA UK
Group unveiled the Approved

Installer scheme, we were quick to
show our support. “It’s a good way
for us to encourage more installers
to buy high quality VEKA
materials through us. This means
increased repeat business, and it’s
also beneficial to homeowners in
the local area who will be supplied
with some of the highest quality
systems in the industry.”
