FLAIR, FIT AND FOOTBALL Kömmerling trade fabricator, Flair Plastic Products, had a distinctly World Cup theme to their astro-turf laid stand at the FIT Show, with a giant spot-the-ball competition providing visitors with a free football and the chance to win a PremiLine patio door. Since its impressive showing at last year’s FIT, Flair has continued to grow in no small part to the close relationship they have with Kömmerling and the introduction of new products such as the lift and slide PremiDoor, which graces the impressive showroom at Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands. On display this year was a Kömmerling O70 Gold™ window in Irish Oak, and a chamfered C70 Gold™ window in white, among the football-related paraphernalia. The team gave away around 1,000 balls and generated more than 400 leads for both their Kömmerling products and new Space Roof, on show for the first time. Much interest was shown in the number of colour options from stock now available ‘first class products, excellent customer service’ from Flair including anthracite grey, cream and Chartwell Green. Installers looking to switch to Flair are promised first class products, excellent customer service and a FREE showroom support package.

The award-winning IBG (Insurance Backed Guarantee) provider was on hand to keep visitors up to date with all the recent changes in legislation that has affected the issuing of IBGs in the glazing 66 industry as well as details of the recent re-launch of TrustMark, the Government’s endorsed scheme to protect the homeowner and combat rogue contractors, of which FairTrades is a key proponent. “It was the perfect platform for us to interact with our membership base,” Warren Stiles, Head of HomePro’s Client Development, said of the FIT Show. “It was great to be more personal with our ‘It was the perfect platform for us to interact with our membership base’ members as well as the wider manufacturer and installer base present and address any questions about changes to legislation.” HomePro and its approved representative, IPWFI are together one of the largest providers of IBGs in the UK issuing more than 1,000,000 policies insuring more than £3.5billion worth of home improvements over the last 12 years.
