Cornwall Glass Group & Bohle
Partner For Further Training
In Sliding Door Systems
The Cornwall Glass Group
partnered with Bohle for
further specialist training of
the different types of sliding
door systems which Bohle
offers.
Over 40 colleagues from across
the Cornwall Glass Group
attended the two days training,
held at Exeter & Mackenzie
Glass Centres, hosted by David
Menzel, Bohles Master Glazier
who travelled from Germany
especially to host the training.
The group of glaziers, branch
managers and estimators alike
benefitted from the experience
and in-depth knowledge that
David Menzel shared with
them. The recently refurbished
showrooms in the Exeter &
Mackenzie Glass Centres have
installed examples of Bohle’s
sliding doors systems including
their latest innovative - the Faltus
System which is a bi and tri
folding door system that slides
as well as folds. These installed
products helpfully allowed the
group to see the products in
operational state.
This training partnership
highlights the strength of an
on-going relationship. Providing
this training and building upon
their colleagues existing skills
and knowledge is recognised by
Cornwall Glass which continues
to provide opportunities to their
colleagues.

TUFFX NEW SPONSORSHIP
DEAL IS A KNOCK OUT
TuffX’ latest investment revolves around
the field of sports sponsorship and this year
the leading glass processor has announced
that it will be one of the main sponsors for
boxing champion, David Price.
As an English professional boxer from
Liverpool, David competes in the heavyweight
division and is the former British and
Commonwealth heavyweight champion
who also won a bronze medal in the 2009
Olympics.
TuffX believes in supporting sporting talent
through sports sponsorship and has chosen
David as they share the same ideology of
quality and commitment combined with a
strong belief in always striving for excellence.
Furthermore, as a cousin of TuffX’ MD,
Graham Price this will give him family
support and brings the opportunity to
work together promoting boxing. Graham
comments, “Sponsoring David will give us
an unparalleled opportunity to reach a bigger
audience and capitalise on brand exposure.
Mainstream sporting sponsorship is starting
to breakdown because technology is making
areas that have traditionally been seen as niche
or unattainable reach mass audiences. We feel
supporting David will be a mutually positive
step for everyone.”
