Top of them all , scooping its 15th national Network VEKA Award as Member of the Year , as well as the £ 1.5million-plus category , was Aberdeen-based Thistle Windows and Conservatories , followed by NV founder member Goliath Homeworld of Cannock in the £ 1m-1.5m category , Shane Howells of Ledbury in the £ 750k- £ 1m and MG Window Systems of Northampton in £ 500k- £ 750k .
Glazerite UK Group Ltd also saw another 15 of its installer partners listed as finalists in the national categories , including six in the two , smaller turnover , categories where it did not have a winner , and over half ( 12 out of 23 ) of the total new entries and re-entries
into the organisation ’ s elite 100 % Club .
This year ’ s Network VEKA Awards had been reconfigured to replace the UK regional trophies with seven national awards , in six categories based on turnover plus a Member of The Year , as well as trophies for best new member in the North and South respectively as before . The ceremony was held at the Chesford Grange Hotel , Warwick , where the trophies were presented by Network VEKA brand ambassador , snooker legend Steve Davis .
“ Our installer partners have excelled themselves yet again ,” said Jason Thompson , director of the Glazerite UK Group Ltd , after the presentation . The trophies are a credit to every one of the winners
but we are also very proud of our absolute commitment to helping them and all of our installer partners to grow with the best possible support that any trade fabricator could offer .”
He added : “ It is well worth noting that these winners , just as in previous years , are those businesses that have fully embraced the Network Veka package and made the best use of everything it offers – something that we at Glazerite have always encouraged our member installers to do . This year , the change in the awards to a national base means all the members are competing against their peers on a level playing field rather than region by region .”
