Committed to customer service From its head office in South Yorkshire, Senior Architectural Systems has grown to become the largest privately owned fenestration systems company in the UK, designing and manufacturing a full range of aluminium windows, doors and curtain walling. Did you know that when Senior was first established back in 1991, the company pledged to ‘give the customer what they want, when they want it’ and this has remained the official motto ever since? As a privately owned UK-based compa- ny, and with no red tape or overseas parent company to consult, over the last 27 years Senior’s commitment to putting their customer first has helped to create a personal, flexible and reliable way of doing business. Senior has also gone on to put together a package of benefits for its network of trade installers and fab- ricators that includes everything from technical advice and training, to PR and marketing support and access to exclusive sales tools. A familiar face in the commercial sector, Senior is now making a name for itself in the domestic market but here are some facts about the company that you may not know… 2. Keeping it in house As well as Senior’s HQ in Denaby Main near Doncaster, the company has distri- bution centres in Wales and Scotland, and plenty of space to keep the shelves well stocked. By investing in in-house resources, such as the company’s state of the art powder coating facility which is one of the largest and most technically advanced in the UK, Senior has become well known for being able to reduce lead times and offer reliable delivery dates. Senior even has its own fleet of 17 five star eco delivery vehicles that make regular deliveries across the UK and Ireland. 3. One stop shop Whatever contract you are working on, chances are that Senior has what you need. The company’s established presence in the commercial sector has led to development of a full range of aluminium glazing products, from slimline curtain walling, high performance windows and robust doors to shop front, roof and secondary glazing solutions. Contractors working on domestic residential projects have also benefitted from the launch of Senior’s Ali range of aluminium patio and bi-folding doors and slim line win- dows. But did you know that there’s more to Senior’s product offering than sleek and stylish aluminium? The company’s popular Hybrid range combines high quality alumini- um on the exterior with attractive timber on the inside, giving customers the best of both worlds with the reassurance of working with one sole tried and tested supplier.
