CONSERVATORIES
NEVER LOSE SIGHT OF THE
VALUE OF YOUR TEAM, SAYS JIM
This may be a very competitive and product-focussed industry but it is important
not to lose sight of the hard-working people who make it all happen.
That’s the view of Jim Dance of
AbsoluteWindow Co which is based in
Worsley, Manchester.
‘We have retained many
of our really good people,
some of whom have been
with us for 25 years now –
I cannot speak too highly of
them, they are a great team
When Jim started in the business more
than 30 years ago, it was all about windows.
He and his then business partner worked in
extrusions, before moving into sales. But Jim
always wanted to run his own company and so
he launched Absolute Window Co – and he
has never looked back since.
But Jim is quick to give credit to the loyal
and hardworking team behind him.
“We have retained many of our really good
people, some of whom have been with us for
25 years now – I cannot speak too highly of
them, they are a great team,” Jim said. “They
know the business inside out and that is
reflected in the success we have enjoyed. Their
contribution has been immeasurable.”
Such is that success that the company, which
under the brand name roof2roof is now
manufacturing under licence the Supalite tiled
conservatory roof system, is now seeking to
add more installers to cover the North West
and Midlands regions.
Supalite has strong credentials and is gaining
in popularity with homeowners looking for
a virtual home extension that can be used
all year round, rather than just an ordinary
conservatory. Supalite tiles come with a 40
year manufacturer’s guarantee and require no
maintenance following installation.
“This is a superior product,” says Jim, “at a
time when people are expecting further rises in
energy bills, its impressive energy efficiency is
a major benefit and selling point.”

STEVE’S RIG HT ON CUE WITH GLAZERITE
74
APR 2014
There was plenty to celebrate when Frames
Conservatories Direct launched its new
150sqm showroom. The Bury St Edmunds
installer was not only unveiling a bigger and
fully refurbished facility but also marking
its new membership of Network VEKA
and the changeover to the VEKA range
from leading fabricator Glazerite Windows
Limited.
Network VEKA brand ambassador Steve
Davis was on hand to play a few frames
of pool with visitors and also dropped in
to oversee an installation for surprised
homeowners before going on to visit Bury St
Edmunds Rugby Club, which the installer
sponsors.
“The day was a great success,” said MD
Adrian Lewis, who officially opened the new
showroom. “The visitors were very impressed
with what they saw and we even took a
number of orders on the day. We now have a
much wider range of products on offer since
making the change to VEKA and Glazerite,
and this much bigger showroom has proved to
be the ideal way to show them all in the best
light.”
‘A great success’
