13 PRO INSTALLER MARCH 2016 PRO NEWS @proinstaller1 VALENTINE’S COMPETITION SHOWS THE INSTALLER LOVE The VEKA UK Group recently ran a Valentine’s-themed competition, asking member companies why they loved being part of its scheme. And while they knew approved installers were enthusiastic about the support on offer, they didn’t expect the responses they received. Amy Grundy, National Sales Manager for the Approved Installer Scheme explained: “In the end, we picked two winners, as they’d really spent time and thought on their answers, showing us just how important being an approved installer is to their business. “Scott Taylor, Director at Taylor’s Joinery and Plastics in Workington penned us a fantastic poem, all about the dependability of approved installers. “But it was the message we received from Dave Marks at Millennium Windows in Redruth that floored us.” Dave wrote: ‘We were thrilled to hear such an enlightening perspective on how it feels to be an Approved Installer’ “I think the Approved Installer Scheme not only has so many different varieties of helpful items available from the Marketing Hub, but it has given me a sense of being a part of an industry. Although I am registered with a Competent Persons Scheme and a glazing trade federation, I feel it’s all money orientated and I am just a number. However, at Millennium Windows – for the first time – I have been given leads from the Approved Installer Scheme and so many options that I can read about, and I do not feel after 19 years of sole trading as Millennium Windows like I am on my own in this industry. I have always used VEKA in that time and will continue to do so. Thanks for allowing me to be a very small part of this whole scheme.” Both Dave and Scott won bottles of wine for their efforts. “We were thrilled to hear such an enlightening perspective on how it feels to be an Approved Installer,” Amy continues.
