QUICKSLIDE TEAMS UP WITH THE
TERRIERS IN PREMIERSHIP PARTNERSHIP
» » YORKSHIRE-BASED
trade fabricator and VS specialist
Quickslide has announced the
continuation of its partnership
with Huddersfield Town into a
fourth year, as the club joins the
Premiership for the first time in
its history.
Quickslide works with the
club, nicknamed The Terriers, on
a number of community projects
including sponsorship and
support for local football teams
and using the club as a forum
to communicate with other
local businesses, suppliers and
community leaders.
Quickslide Chairman, Adrian
Barraclough, who has developed
the partnership, says that Dean
Hoyle, Chairman of Huddersfield
Town and a lifelong supporter
of the club, has an outstanding
record of commitment to the
local community: “As a local
business many of our staff live
in the area and are supporters of
the club too. Our partnership,
therefore, benefits both our
business and our people and
there are tremendous benefits for
the whole community through
this association. We share similar
ethics.”
After signing the new
agreement with the club’s Senior
Commercial Manager, Tracy
Nelson, Quickslide Marketing
Director Tom Swallow echoed
his Chairman’s words adding:
“It’s also great for our customers
and staff to come and watch the
football of course, and this season
we will be watching the top teams
in England; it’s very exciting
and reflects our pride in being a
Yorkshire-based business.”

UNIVERSAL ARCHES MOVES TO ISO 9001:2015
» » UNIVERSAL ARCHES, NOW PART OF
the Kaliber Group, has moved its quality
management system to the new ISO
9001:2015 standard, representing the only
dedicated shaped and arched PVCu frame
manufacturer working to this important,
international business accreditation.
There are more than 1.1 million ISO
9001 certificates issued worldwide, helping
companies and organisations to demonstrate
that they can offer goods and services to
a consistently high quality. The new 2015
certification is less prescriptive than the
previous variants and now focusses on
performance and a process-led approach,
something that’s already been part of the
business operations at Universal Arches for
some years.
During the last eight ISO inspections, the
auditors have returned zero non-conformities,
an impressive standard in any manufacturing
industry and fully representative of the way
the business is run. The manufacture of
complex shaped frames is a distinctly different
animal to that of standardised square PVCu
frames, which can be processed with high
levels of automation.
The ISO certification is about all processes
within the business that have helped shaped
Universal Arches into the leading company
in the sector. They have also had a major
influence on bringing new technologies,
quality standards and customer service
initiatives to market.
