WANTED
Window and
Door Installers
Leading commercial fabricator,
Sovereign Windows and Doors is
launching a national campaign to
recruit window and door fitters.
The Lancashire based
company supplies a
range of highly efficient windows and
doors manufactured
from VEKA profile, to a
wealth of commercial
contracts, including
local authority, housing
association, mixed tenure new build, health
trusts, the MOD and further education accommodation providers and
education authorities.
Mike Ferguson, Sovereign
Group, Marketing Manager,
comments: “We offer the
highest standards of quality
to our customers and we are
looking for installers who
can uphold those standards.
A lot of our contracts are
taken on with longevity;
therefore we find that our installation teams are normally
involved on projects for
quite a considerable time.
“We produce a range of
PVCu products from VEKA,
along with timber and
aluminium glazing products,
and composite doors. We
are looking for professional and qualified installers
who can turn their hand to
a number of varying fitting
applications and who have
the experience and skills to
provide a high level of expertise in all areas of fitting
windows and doors.
“Also, on a lot of occasions, unlike domestic
fittings, our installers are
asked to provide support to
housing associations, where
their properties are occupied by tenants. This can
sometimes come with issues
of accessing the properties
and needs a high and good
level of customer service
skills in order to overcome
problems and get the job
done.
“In return, we offer our
employees the assurance
of working with a well-established business, over
44 years’ trading expertise,
with a set of experienced
internal technical and sales
staff and a very good remuneration package.”

GLAZERITE GANG COME OUT TOP
Glazerite installers have
come out top in the annual Network VEKA awards,
taking not only nearly half
of all the regional trophies
plus Best Newcomer but
also scooping the coveted
National title for the third
time in a row.
The trade fabricator’s customers matched last year’s near-record trophy haul, as well as
gaining most of the finalists’
spots and the entries into the
organisation’s ‘best of the best’,
its 100% Club.
The National title as well as the
Eastern region went to Frames
Conservatories Direct of Bury
St Edmunds for a second year
in succession, while Thistle
returned to the trophy table with
joint best in Scotland making
its 14th Network VEKA award
in the organisation’s 20-year
history. Shane Howells retained
the West of England and KJM
Windows the South – both for
the seventh time – and Cheadle Glass held the North West
for a third year in a row. Best
Newcomer in the south this
year went to Wilson Windows of
Loughborough.
Glazerite Director Jason
Thompson said after the awards:
“These are all absolutely first
class businesses and they amply
deserve their trophies. At Glazerite, we not only do all we can
to support our installer partners
to grow their businesses but also
urge them to commit themselves
100% to Network VEKA and
make full use of the fantastic
support and services it offers.”
The trophies were presented at
the organisation’s AGM and Gala
Dinner at the Holiday Inn, Stratford-upon-Avon (see page 30 for
more about the evening).
