After previously working in the industry, he decided to open his own retail outlet in a prominent city centre location. With a focus on the quality of products and customer service from the beginning, the business quickly built-up a great reputation in the market. The business supplies and fits units for private customers, commercial projects and some public sector buildings. This breath gives rise to steady and on-going revenue streams. After being established for so long, previous private individuals are now returning regularly for new orders as the move property, or for maintenance. The company, and all the window fitters are fully FENSA registered, the business is registered with the Consumer Protection Association and all work has a 10 year insurance guarantee offering. In 2000, the owner decided that the best way to keep to the highest quality standards, and realise margins was to set-up a factory with a partner to oversee production. This manufacturing facility is also separately being marketed for sale. The units all have CE markings, and the business has exclusive sales contracts with a number of high profile international brands, with a growing market for the top of the range aluminium bi-folding patio doors manufactured to the German parent companies specifications. These high quality ranges are proving very popular in the market, with many orders received during and after exhibitions such as The Ideal Home Show. The business receives orders from private individuals via the showrooms and follow-up visits to properties to measure and quote. Private work currently accounts for approximately 1/3 of the revenue. Another 1/3 is received from Commercial work such as large contracts with some well known names such as Ramada Jarvis, Gillette, Linden Homes and other National Building Contractors. The remaining revenue comes in from Public Sector work, with major contracts won over the years from numerous local authorities in the region for major projects including schools, hospitals and other public buildings.
